2024 Update: Expanding The WinePress And Big Things To Come – Podcast, Books, Merch, And More!

To start 2024 off, I wanted to provide an update on operations with The WinePress and where I plan to take it this year. But first, I would be remised if I did not give a shoutout and thanks to all fellow readers. Even though The WinePress has been heavily shadow-banned on social media and online, The WP still saw exponential growth in 2023, as many of my reports, in large part to all who follow my work, helped to get the word out; and has therefore helped not only to instruct and inform the brethren, but plant a great number of seeds and issue warnings to the secular world. What God has wrought through this ministry, especially considering the times in which we live in, is nothing short of a blessing and a miracle.

Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.

2 Corinthians 9:15

Furthermore, once again, special thanks to those who have voluntarily chosen to support and donate to The WP. You know who you are and I am tremendously grateful for your help, as your charity has both kept this ministry paid-for and operational, while it still helps me to keep the lights on and put bread on the table.

This ministry has no monetization, no ads, no sponsorships, neither is it incorporated with the government. Of those that have decided to support my work, I do routinely pray to God that he blesses you both in this life and in the life that is to come. These aren’t just empty words, I really do mean them, and I could only wish to meet you all in person.

[6] But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. [7] Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. [8] And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: [9] (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. [10] Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) [11] Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.

2 Corinthians 9:6-11

As we transition into the new year I am excited to announce a string of new ventures for The WinePress, Lord willingly that I’ll be able to get them accomplished this year, the sooner the better.

As I have indicated before in other posts last year, due to the increasing amount of censorship that is coming and will take greater effect this year in short order, on top of even more censorship that will assuredly come in – therefore, some changes need to be made.

Something that I have hinted at before but I really think I am going to hit the ground running in 2024 is getting back into more book writing. Though The WP’ social media presence is lacking, I question just how much longer we will be around online, or at least be able to adequately say what I want, and who will be able to see it. Looking into the future, it’s abundantly clear that using the internet as a resource will be diminished. It’s already becoming that way in many ways, but I’m talking even far worse than it is now; i.e., digital IDs, social credit scores, and even more censorship coupled with AI.

While the internet has been a vehicle for us all to use and benefit from, and I think you can agree that that is rapidly going away. Therefore, I hope to start putting out more books readers can purchase. These books, the way that I am envisioning it right now, would be a lot of sermons that I have been holding onto and more that I write-up in the future; along with more articles, similar to the current formatting you see now, but just for somewhat of historical preservation.

And speaking of books, a big one for me is to re-release my extensive and detailed book on the Godhead, “The Lord of Glory.” I have had a lot of requests to get that book republished, and I intend on doing so. I had said that I had planned to get it back out over a year ago, but it just never materialized. I had thought to get it out before Christmas in 2023, but due to tax purposes it made more sense for me to wait. This new edition will redo some of the formatting, fix some of the missed typos from the first edition, and a few other minor additions. Obviously I am biased towards my own book, but I stand behind it and I’m truly honored to have even put that work out in the first place by God’s grace, and it is easily the most detailed and thorough book on the Godhead out there, and should answer every question one might have about our Lord, in terms of what of is clearly revealed and spelled-out in The Bible.

Another thing I plan to do get going soon is a new line of WinePress merchandise. Admittedly, I’ve been a bit behind the 8-ball on this one, but is something that I’d like to do as well. This will range from a variety of shirts, sweaters, hats, coasters, posters, pictures, stickers, and anything else that is applicable. They will cover a variety of designs and an assortment of verses, both for exhortation purposes and unique witnessing. Furthermore, I plan to create some small gospel tracts on top of that as well. I may even sell some prints of unique artwork I have hand created, which may or may not be exclusively related to The WP, but this may just be wishful thinking on my end. We’ll see.

If you have any requests and things you may want to see, then drop me a line at winepressnews@aol.com.

Lastly, the main thing I also wanted to announce is the launch of a brand new podcast. Some of the details I am still not 100% sure about yet, but basically it will be a ton more of what you are getting now with The WP, but just all the topics I simply do not have time to cover normally. However, the main differences with this will be that it will be secular, so I will not be quoting scripture for every article I cover. And lest anyone have any worries, I will in no way be changing opinions and contradicting what I say on The WP. In other words, don’t expect hypocrisy and two-facedness. My opinions will stay the same, it’s just that it won’t be marketed as a Christian resource.

My plan is to make this show a solid nightly news broadcast and cover all the stuff you need to hear. I have so many things I’d love to cover, but I just have no way of getting to it. With this, I can just rapid fire all the things I want to get out, and save the more in-depth, lengthier, well-researched posts and scriptural studies for The WP. As it stands, this new podcast will be published several times a week, and will be for a monthly fee, the price of which has yet to have been solidified, but certainly will be more than a fair asking price.

Therefore, as I work to get all of this accomplished, this may reduce the number of articles I am able to consistently put out daily. That being said, I have some important reports and sermons I have been holding onto for a while now, and again, Lord willing of course, I pray I will be able to get those out.

Those are the main things I wanted to get out of the way. I will be making more announcements when it is time to release said items.

[23] And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. [24] Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. [25] Brethren, pray for us.

1 Thessalonians 5:23-25

I’ll put a pin in it for now, but I’ll end it on this, and that I ask and covet your prayers for me and the ministry, and that may continue to stay the course and keep the faith, and continue to serve the Lord in what he has called me to do. Colossians 4:17 says, “And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.” Believe me when I say that there are so many days that all I want to do is give up; the depression kicks in, and I feel just so spiritually and emotionally drained. It’s not like that everyday, but there are plenty that are. And so for this cause, I just ask for your prayers, for spiritual welldoing, encouragements, strength, meekness and peace, and that I would fulfil the Lord’s will he has for me; and for us all, and that we maybe able to sufficiently answer the call like Paul once had, “Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?” (Acts 9:6).

[14] Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. [15] See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, [16] Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. [17] Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

Ephesians 5:14-17

Once again, thank you very much again from the bottom of my heart for your daily readership, spreading my work abroad, your prayers, and you support for this ministry. The Lord did great things for this ministry and myself in 2023, and I pray and hope for the same and then some in 2024, and it is large part to you all. Thank you and may the Lord bless you and see you through this turbulent 2024.

[1] Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: [2] And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. [3] But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. [4] And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you. [5] And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

2 Thessalonians 3:1-5

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
