I am a Christian first and foremost, and I love the brethren in other Christian denominations or Christian churches that claim no denominational affiliation. I am not dogmatic about denominational differences. I am committed to the call of God, first and foremost. His power and influence cannot be boxed into denominational walls, and I am respectful of the particular beliefs that set denominations apart. I will not come into your church and disrespect your beliefs. I have a desire to see more unity in the Body of Christ, working together to be what God meant for us to be in this world, a City of Hope set on a hill, shining its light for all to see!
I am a follower of Jesus Christ. I was born on September 21, 1973, to home missionaries building the Northern Lights Free Will Baptist Mission in Fairbanks, AK. My parents (pictured below) moved my brothers and me back to Arkansas in 1975, so I was raised in a pastor's home, with 3 brothers and a sister, in Arkansas around Southern, Country, and Blue Grass Gospel music. I started singing with my family in church and around the piano at home when I was a child. My amazing parents, Wayne and Maudie Douthit instilled in me a great love for music, especially Gospel Music and Southern Music with a positive message of hope.
I am so thankful for my upbringing in a Christian home where music was intertwined with our daily lives. My Dad was a bi-vocational pastor all my life, so we attended a lot of singings, camp meetings, and revivals that included a lot of singing and beautiful four-part harmonies. That kind of music is so powerful to me! We spent a lot of time in little churches in the backwoods of Arkansas where Free Will Baptists were also known as Whippoorwill Baptists because most of the churches were way out in the country where you heard the whippoorwills at night.
That is the music that shaped my life, Good ole southern music in the hills and backwoods of Arkansas. I love all the musical influences I experienced growing up, and I love to share that music with other people. I hope I get a chance to share it with you.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me! I look forward to getting to know you. I ask that you would please pray for me as I seek to follow God's direction for my life. Thank you, again, and God Bless!

I understand that we are facing some serious issues and chaotic times in our country that are dividing the American people and causing a lot of heartache and anxiety. While fighting against the chaos, I struggle at times with bad feelings toward some of the people that I feel are responsible for the chaos and dangerous direction our country seems to be moving, but I must remember that the battle and fight is not against flesh and blood, though it manifests itself that way. We are fighting an invisible enemy, not Covid-19, it is Satan and his demonic host. It is easy to lose sight of that when we see people acting on his behalf because their minds have been blinded by him so that they cannot see the truth. They are deceived, and many of them believe that they are doing what is right. This deception is spreading like cancer (or a virus) throughout our society. The real enemy is working in the shadows and pulling the puppet strings on these lost and broken souls bound to do the bidding of the darkness.
The answer will not come through protests and boycotts. Those may be added to the arsenal as there certainly are some things we should boycott and avoid, but the power of the Church is not found in boycotts, lobbying, protests, and certainly not violence! The power of the Church is found when we get on our knees in humility, praying, seeking God's face, and turn from our wicked ways. We need to purge all the garbage of this world out of the Church and get our hearts in pursuit of Jesus, above all others. All power in Heaven and Earth is at our disposal. God has given us the antidote for the spiritual disease that is destroying the Church in America as well as our secular society. How long will we love simplicity and pleasure? How long will we hold back from turning our hearts back to God Almighty? We have the battle plan that will lead to victory. It is not outdated! It never expires! He is the same yesterday, today, and forever! The living Word of God will lead us to victory if we will follow His commands!
Look unto Jesus, the author, and finisher of our faith! Lift your heads with the confidence that our King will triumph over the darkness. Don't hold the Truth in unrighteousness. Repent and surrender all to God. When we come together under the prescribed conditions of God's Word and agree together with Him, we will OVERCOME!!!
Much Love,
Marlon Ernest Douthit

This population of people made up 42 percent of worldwide deaths last year. About 800,000 are brutally murdered yearly in the United States alone! Over the past 48 years more than 62 million of these people have died at the hands of their persecutors/executioners. No other group of people have suffered the amount of injustice and social disregard as inconsequential and useless.This should outrage any human being that has an ounce of morality. This group of people I am speaking about is the preborn.
We must be a voice for the voiceless and fervently pray for these precious souls. These precious gifts to humanity are being thrown away like garbage! We need to stand in the gap and make up the hedge for these people. They are human beings with a living soul and deserve an opportunity to live. God says, in Jeremiah 1:5, \\\"Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.\\\" God knows us before we are born we are living souls before we are born! David wrote in Psalms 139:13-17 \\\"For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. (14) I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. (15) My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. (16) Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. (17) How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!\\\"
God takes notice of each one of these murdered souls. People will stand before God in the day of judgement and give account for these deeds. Let us not commit the sin of omission by sitting by and allowing this to go on without fighting (figuratively speaking, not literal physical assault) for the preborn. I believe prayer is the most effective thing we can do, because God can change hearts. However, we must be involved to aid groups who are lobbying congress and the SCOTUS. We can contact our representatives and let them know where we stand on the issue. We can help educate others about the truth of when life begins. We can share the love of Jesus with women who are considering abortions to let them know there are alternatives and people that would take that child and love them as their own. There are many ways we can be involved, and pray, pray, pray!

The ministry and family could not believe the accusations, but after a thorough investigation, the accusations turned out to be truths. It is heart breaking, discouraging, and disenchanting.
We must be very careful not to put our souls in the hands of men. Men are fallible creatures who will eventually let you down. There should be people we can look up to and hold in high regard and respect, but we must never lift them up to the throne of our heart. The only one who should hold that prominent place of preeminence in our life is Jesus Christ. We cannot afford to idolize another man. The Bible warns us not to put our trust in men. Psalm 146:3 states, “Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.” (KJV) Even if there were no other scriptures that further support this warning, if God says it once, that is enough! Man will fail, but God will never fail.
This is also a reminder to pray fervently for these men and women in places of leadership. The enemy works even harder against them, because he gets more return for his efforts. Many times when one of these folks falls, there are many who have looked up to them that are completely disillusioned and disarmed by discouragement, disappointment, despondency. By taking out these men and women of faith who live in the spotlight the enemy takes out thousands of others who have placed too much trust in man. It has devastated the body of Christ over and over in the past 50 years in this country.
I want to remind you that God is perfect, but human beings are not. Jesus is perfect, but church people are not. The Holy Spirit is perfect, but your pastor is not. Put your trust in the unfailing, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent God who loves you more than you can begin to imagine! Look through His eyes and see that men and women are fallible creatures in need of prayer, admonition, reproof, correction, healing and help. Many men and women have started out with a desire to labor in building the Kingdom of God, and somewhere along the way began building an empire for themselves. Serve God, not man.

Where are all the mainstream media outlets that say they want to give a voice to the voiceless? Where are all the politicians who went to Capitol Hill \\\"for the right reasons\\\"? According to Guttmacher Institute, there were over 800,000 abortions performed in the United States in 2017. Since 1973 approximately 62 million children have been executed through abortion for acts they did not commit.
This vile atrocity must stop. This is not a political issue. These are the lives of human beings that should be protected under our constitution. They should have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We have become a terribly calloused people worse than any Nazi in the concentration camps. The torture, dismemberment, and plethora of other ways that these precious, innocent children are killed are beyond horrific and sickening. The abortionists are worse than Manson, Dahmer, or Bundy.
We have adjusted to the darkness in our society to the point that nothing shocks or disturbs us to the point of moving us to action. How many of us pray for these situations every day? How many of us sigh and cry over these horrible, horrific acts of murder? Church, I think we get offended when preachers tell us we need to humble ourselves, pray, seek God's face, and turn from our wicked ways. Wicked ways? We think to ourselves, I am a pretty good person, so why is this preacher saying I need to turn from my wicked ways? When we can just go on about our normal everyday lives, and none of these things move us, we have gotten accustomed to the darkness. Some folks have gone as far as to embrace the darkness and overlook it because it is lumped together with their other political views. We need a shaking in the Church to get us out of our self-sufficiency and self-centeredness and on our knees before a Holy, Just, and Merciful God.
I am praying that God will keep this before me and place upon my heart the burden for these unborn children that will move me to effectual and fervent prayer. This is the worst of the sins of America, and yet it is protected, covered up, and ignored every day. God have mercy and awaken Your Church in America, please!

I have been very disturbed at the desires of the current administration in the White House to open our borders and cut our defenses. This makes absolutely no sense to me, especially with the obvious dangers of this present age. Their plans seem to include slaughtering even more preborn children, cancel out true history (which means we are bound to repeat the bad parts), rewarding criminals and crucify the just. I am looking on in horror thinking, how in the world can they think these are good ideas?
As I have pondered these things in my heart, I have come to realize that what we are seeing playout out in our country outside of ourselves is a direct reflection of what has played out in our hearts. When we begin to compromise our standards and give in to outside pressures, then we begin to forsake the counsel of the wise, following our own volition, setting ourselves on a slippery slope of self-destruction. Eventually, we begin to live by the hedonistic philosophy of, \\\"if it feels good do it\\\", or \\\"all that matters is my happiness\\\", bound to destroy ourselves. We forsake the Word of God and profess ourselves to be wise, and we become fools, opening ourselves up for the enemy to come in and take whatever he wants. In the midst of all the taking, we are oblivious to what is being stolen right out from under us, because our minds have been blinded by his lies. Our children have been taken from us and even despise what we stand for or, at least, once believed in. Our families are being restructured to something unnatural and broken, causing our churches to die and leaving our society without the foundation and building blocks it needs to stand firm. At this point we have become so lethargic, apathetic, complacent, and just plain pathetic, that we have no realization of the dangers, the wolves, circling us and waiting for the opportunity to come in for the kill. Completely clueless to the sudden death about to come upon us, we continue relying on our \\\"intellect\\\" to get us through, after all, we are so educated and wise in our own eyes.
The enemy has played us as individuals and as a nation. We have become a city with no walls, no protection. We are tearing down our own layers of protection. We have been played like a fiddle. Listen to these words from Joseph Stalin, \\\"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: Its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within.” Communism and socialism seem like good ideas on the surface, but not far beneath you will find unimaginable evil. They have played the long game that started as early as 1963, about the same time prayer was removed from our schools. In 1963 Congressman Albert Herong, Jr., entered The Communist Goals into the Congressional Record, as follows: \\\"… At Mrs. Nordman’s request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following “Current Communist Goals” which she identifies as an excerpt from “The Naked Communist” by Cleon Skousen.
1 – U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2 – U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3 – Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4 – Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5 – Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6 – Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7 – Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8 – Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9 – Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10 – Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11 – Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12 – Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13 – Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14 – Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15 – Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States. – Democrat Party is now captured.
16 – Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17 – Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks. – Done.
18 – Gain control of all student newspapers.
19 – Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20 – Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21 – Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22 – Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
23 – Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
24 – Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
25 – Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26 – Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
27 – Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
28 – Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
29 – Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30 – Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
31 – Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32 – Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture–education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33 – Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34 – Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35 – Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36 – Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37 – Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38 – Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
39 – Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40 – Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41 – Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42 – Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use “united force” to solve economic, political or social problems.
43 – Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self- government.
44 – Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45 – Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.
As you can see, we have played right into their hands, but people in America and within the American Church are blind to this reality. We are calling evil good and good evil. If we fall under the vile control of socialism and communism, we have no one to blame but ourselves. We can't afford to hit the snooze button any longer! IT IS TIME TO WAKE UP! IT MUST START WITH THE HOUSE OF GOD! We must humble ourselves, pray, seek God's face (not just His hands to give us more), and turn from our wicked ways! TODAY!!!

New life is coming out everywhere you look, reminding us that Jesus made a way for new life to happen in us! We, the human race, were hopelessly lost because sin entered the world, by our own free will, making us guilty before a holy God with no way to undo the conviction of guilt and condemnation. We desperately needed a savior, but none was found among mankind, until a little baby boy named Jesus was born in a little town called Bethlehem. Jesus, the Son of God, born of the virgin Mary came to us as the God man. He lived a sinless, perfect life before God with no guilt or condemnation. Finally, there was a man, God in the flesh, Jesus Christ, who was worthy to be a Savior for mankind, one who could stand in our place and take our punishment, paying the penalty and price we owed to God Almighty. Jesus made forgiveness of sin possible by paying our debt at the cross with His own life.
Jesus not only died in our place suffering our shame, sorrow, disgrace, and unimaginable pain, but he defeated the curse of sin, which was death, by rising from the dead on the third day. He is a living Savior! He is our lawyer or advocate that pleads our case to the Father. He does not plead how good I am and how I don't deserve hell, no, He pleads the blood, His blood that payed the debt already. So, when the Father looks at me, he sees the Son. Jesus took my sin defeated it by dying with it and rose victorious over it leaving it in the tomb forever! He became sin for us so that we could become righteous before God. He took my sin and gives me His righteousness. OH WHAT A SAVIOR!!!
He didn't just die for good people. The very people that had ripped his beard from His face, spit on Him, place the thorns on His head, mocked Him, beat Him with a scourge, He looked at in love from the cross and declared, \\\"Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.\\\" He died for me, for you, and everyone else. The Bible tells us \\\"WHOSOEVER WILL MAY COME\\\"! Please come to Jesus, YOUR Savior, now!
