Welcome to our religious fellowship and ministry. We are a First Amendment, not-for-profit, unincorporated, unregistered, non-privileged, non-denominational religious fellowship and ministry.
Our Mission is to honor, to love, and to obey our Lord and God by teaching, reading, learning, and obeying His Holy Law and Word, putting Him first, and loving our neighbor by keeping the government as our servant and His steward for truth and justice. As described in Heb. 4:12 and like Jesus in Rev. 1:16, we seek to use the word and law of God as a sharp sword to expose and cut off corruption wherever it is found, and ESPECIALLY in government. His word and law is also our armor and shield as we combat the corruption as described in Eph. 6:11-20 and Psalm 91. See the following for authorities on why we, and especially Christians, must learn law:
Authorities on why we must PERSONALLY learn, follow, and enforce man's law and God's law
Our goal is to inspire, empower, motivate, and educate mainly those born or naturalized in the USA (and NOT "U.S.") and who are Members in how to love, honor, obey, glorify, and lift up our Sovereign Lord above every king, ruler, government, and Earthly law at a personal and very practical level and in every area of our lives. This is the essence of our religious worship and the essence, according to the Bible, of how we love our God.
Our ministry accomplishes the above goals by emphasizing:
- Legal education focused on both God's law and man's law.
- Religious liberty, faith and worship.
- Law enforcement and legal activism.
- Self government: Internal rather than external government.
- Personal responsibility, good citizenship, human sovereignty (as an agent of the only sovereign, who is God).
- Nonviolent, lawful exercise of non-partisan activism in pursuit of ONLY religious goals.
- A return of a lawful, limited, accountable, and Constitutional government which is God's servant, rather than His enemy or His competitor for the allegiance, obedience, affections and worship of the Sovereign People, "We the People"
- Exposing, publicizing, and opposing socialism, corruption, and violations of the Constitution and the law by government employees and officials.
- Exercising our First Amendment right of self-government exclusively under the civil laws of our God.
- Protecting and expanding the separation of powers doctrine, and especially the separation of church, which is believers, from state, which is the unbelieving people and governments around them. The separation between church and state is the essence of what "sanctification" means in a religious context.
- Emphasizing and restoring the role of PRIVATE property in the freedom of each individual and its use as a defense against government oppression or corruption.
- The pursuit of legal "justice" (Form #05.050), which means absolutely owned private property (Form #10.002), and equality of TREATMENT and OPPORTUNITY (Form #05.033) under REAL LAW (Form #05.048). The following would be INJUSTICE, not JUSTICE:
- 12.1 Outlawing or refusing to recognize or enforce absolutely owned private property (Form #12.025).
- 12.2 Imposing equality of OUTCOME by law, such as by abusing taxing powers to redistribute wealth. See Form #11.302.
- 12.3 Any attempt by government to use judicial process or administrative enforcement to enforce any civil obligation derived from any source OTHER than express written consent or to an injury against the equal rights of others demonstrated with court admissible evidence. See Form #09.073 and Form #12.040.
- 12.4 Offering, implementing, or enforcing any civil franchise (Form #05.030). This enforces superior powers on the part of the government as a form of inequality and results in religious idolatry. This includes making justice into a civil public privilege (Form #05.050, Section 5.3) or turning CONSTITUTIONAL PRIVATE citizens into STATUTORY PUBLIC citizens engaged in a public office and a franchise (Form #05.006).
Not only would the above be INJUSTICE, it would outlaw HAPPINESS, because the right to absolutely own private property is equated with "the pursuit of happiness" in the Declaration of Independence, according to the U.S. Supreme Court. See Form #05.050 for the definition of "justice". Click here to view a video on why all franchises produce selfishness, unhappiness, inequality, and ingratitude.
President Obama summarized the SEDM Mission Statement in the following video.
https://youtube.com/embed/jq42lxCpbJU
The video derived from Beau Biden's funeral on 6/10/2015. He says that:
- We are all equal. Minute 1. By that, we take him to mean equal, sovereign, independent, and self-governing in the eyes of the law and in relation to the government in court.
https://sedm.org/Forms/05-MemLaw/EqualProtection.pdf
In his Harvard Commencement Address in 2007, Bill Gates even added to this by saying that the noblest cause anyone can devote their life to is eliminating "inequity", meaning inequality. The reason is clear: Equality of opportunity and treatment under the law is the FOUNDATION of legal Justice (Form #05.050). See Minutes 7 through 10:
https://youtube.com/embed/zPx5N6Lh3sw - No one is better or less than anyone else, including a public servant. Minute 1. Minute 8 ("we don't have kings or queens or lords", "no higher than anyone else, or lower than anyone else").
- The most egregious sin is to abuse your power to injure other people. (government does this all the time). Minute 4.
- Helping others should be done FREELY and voluntarily, which implies that it cannot and should not be compelled by any government. Minute 8 ("give fully and freely without expecting anything in return"). The implication is that paying for "benefits" cannot be compelled.
- We should avoid privileges and benefits, and by implication franchises, and instead earn our own keep and our own success to receive the greatest reward. Minutes 0-2 ("brushed aside privilege for the better harder path of earning his own way"). Minute 2("didn't trade on his name [civil status]").
https://sedm.org/Forms/05-MemLaw/Franchises.pdf - We should pursue justice and equality by defending and educating those who can't defend themselves. Minute 1 ("rare prosecutor who defended the defenseless"). Minute 4 ("squared his broad shoulders to protect people from abuse"). The implication is that WITHOUT equality, justice is IMPOSSIBLE.
https://player.vimeo.com/video/68779181 - The quintessential public servant is in fact a servant, rather than someone better than the people they serve, and that they should carry a notebook around to document how they can serve rather than command others. Minute 5. See Matt. 20:20-28.
- The point of our time here is to create a better future for our children, rather than to benefit ourselves personally. Minutes 7-8. Minute 11. We implement this goal by opposing the corrupt and criminal nature of the government fiat currency SCAM that permits generations of yet unborn Americans to be made surety to pay off an endless mountain of public debt that they will not and cannot benefit from. This is the ultimate form of "taxation without representation" that lead to revolution that gave birth to this country in the first place.

https://sedm.org/Forms/05-MemLaw/MoneyScam.pdf
https://famguardian.org/Subjects/MoneyBanking/MoneyBanking.htm#Government_Debt - It is noble and honorable to value one's PRIVATE life over their PUBLIC life. Minute 1 ("prioritized his private life above all else"). Our ministry takes this admonition so far as to say that:
9.1. The main purpose for establishing government is to protect PRIVATE property and PRIVATE rights and to never allow PRIVATE property to be converted to PUBLIC property. See:
https://sedm.org/LibertyU/SeparatingPublicPrivate.pdf
9.2. We should not have ANY PUBLIC statutory statuses (Form #13.008), including "citizen", "resident", "person", "taxpayer", "driver", etc.
9.3. Everything we own should be exclusively PRIVATE and that ownership or control should not be shared with any PUBLIC government. - We should not "take anything for granted". Minute 10. By this he means that we should NEVER "presume" ANYTHING and should challenge all those in government who make presumptions about either us or our status. Instead we should force them to PROVE their presumptions with evidence:
https://sedm.org/Forms/05-MemLaw/Presumption.pdf - Our country was founded and built by people who did all the above, and that this is a noble and honorable undertaking. Minutes 7-8.
For a confirmation of the above, see:
About Us, Sections 1 and 2
https://sedm.org/Ministry/AboutUs.htm
President Obama also admitted on 6/26/2015 that churches (and by implication religious ministries such as us) are the foundation stone of justice and liberty in a hostile society. He doesn't describe HOW that hostility happens from the government and the legal profession, but in fact it is implemented by COMPELLED OR ILLEGAL PARTICIPATION IN GOVERNMENT FRANCHISES so as to convert PRIVATE rights to PUBLIC RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES. Click here for that admission.

All of our worship, educational materials, and classes focus on the above goals. This is a fulfillment of the commandments of the Lord governing the relationship of believers to the world available below:
COMPLETE INFORMATION ABOUT US
“If you want to change the world, pick up your pen and write.”
[Martin Luther]“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law [God’s Law] till all is fulfilled. Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them [SEDM], he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”
[Matthew 5:17–19, Bible, NKJV]"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
[Romans 12:21, Bible, NKJV]"In God we trust. Everyone in the political and legal profession we investigate as required by God in accordance with Matt. 16:5-12."
[SEDM]"Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house [sovereign fellowship], a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ."
[1 Peter 2:4-5, Bible, NKJV]“You [Jesus] are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, And have made us [Christians] kings and priests [SOVEREIGNS!] to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.”
[Revelation 5:9-10, Bible, NKJV]" But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness [Form #05.014] into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God [sovereignty fellowship], who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy."
[1 Peter 2:9, Bible, NKJV]"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service (Form #13.007). And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. "
[Romans 12:1-2, Bible, NKJV]“Be diligent to [investigate and expose the truth for yourself and thereby] present yourself [and the public servants who are your fiduciaries and stewards under the Constitution] approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word [and the deeds] of truth. But shun profane babblings [government propaganda, tyranny, and usurpation] for they will increase to more ungodliness. And their message [and their harmful affects] will spread like cancer [to destroy our society and great Republic].”
[2 Tim. 2:15-17, Bible, NKJV]"Evil men do not understand justice [Form #05.050], but those who seek [trust in and obey] the Lord understand all."
[Prov. 28:5, Bible, NKJV]"For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish [presumptuous] men"
[1 Peter 2:15, Bible, NKJV]"Blessed are those who keep justice, And he who does righteousness at all times!"
[Psalm 106:3, Bible, NKJV]"For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light. Therefore take heed how you hear. For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he seems to have will be taken from him.”
[Luke 8:17-18, Bible, NKJV]"Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, Religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism who should labour to subvert these great Pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of Men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked, "where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice?" And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.”
[George Washington in his Farewell Address; See also George Washington's Farewell Address Presented by Ben Sasse, Minute 24]"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
[John Adams; The Works of John Adams, ed. CF Adams, Boston: Little Brown Co., 1851,4:13]"...The constitutional rights of those spreading their religious beliefs through the spoken and printed word are not to be gauged by standards governing retailers or wholesalers of books. The right to use the press for expressing one's views is not to be measured by the protection afforded commercial handbills. It should be remembered that the pamphlets of Thomas Paine were not distributed free of charge. It is plain that a religious organization needs funds to remain a going concern. But an itinerant evangelist, however misguided or intolerant he may be, does not become a mere book agent by selling the Bible or religious tracts to help defray his expenses or to sustain him. Freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion are available to all, not merely to those who can pay their own way. . ."
[Murdock v. Pennsylvania, 319 U.S. 105 (1943)]"A popular Government, without popular information [about law and government corruption], or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which [legal] knowledge gives. "
[James Madison]“Blessed are you when they [the corrupted de facto government] revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My [God’s] sake.”
[Matt. 5:11, Bible, NKVJ]"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled."
[Matt. 5:6, Bible, NKJV]". . .blessed are those who hear [and seek] the word [AND LAW] of God and keep it!"
[Luke 11:28, Bible, NKJV]"Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city."
[Rev. 22:14, Bible, NKJV]“Because you [Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived] have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice, behold, I [God] have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you. And I have also given you what you have not asked: both riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days. So if you walk in My [God’s] ways, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days.”
[1 Kings 3:11-14, Bible, NKJV]

People of all races, genders, political beliefs, sexual orientations, and nearly all religions are welcome here. All are treated equally under REAL "law". The only way to remain truly free and equal under the civil law is to avoid seeking government civil services, benefits, property, special or civil status, exemptions, privileges, or special treatment. All such pursuits of government services or property require individual and lawful consent to a franchise and the surrender of inalienable constitutional rights AND EQUALITY in the process, and should therefore be AVOIDED. The rights and equality given up are the "cost" of procuring the "benefit" or property from the government, in fact. Nothing in life is truly "free". Anyone who claims that such "benefits" or property should be free and cost them nothing is a thief who wants to use the government as a means to STEAL on his or her behalf. All just rights spring from responsibilities/obligations under the laws of a higher power. If that higher power is God, you can be truly and objectively free. If it is government, you are guaranteed to be a slave because they can lawfully set the cost of their property as high as they want as a Merchant under the U.C.C. If you want it really bad from people with a monopoly, then you will get it REALLY bad. Bend over. There are NO constitutional limits on the price government can charge for their monopoly services or property. Those who want no responsibilities can have no real/PRIVATE rights, but only privileges dispensed to wards of the state which are disguised to LOOK like unalienable rights. Obligations and rights are two sides of the same coin, just like self-ownership and personal responsibility. For the biblical version of this paragraph, read 1 Sam. 8:10-22. For the reason God answered Samuel by telling him to allow the people to have a king, read Deut. 28:43-51, which is God’s curse upon those who allow a king above them. Click Here for a detailed description of the legal, moral, and spiritual consequences of violating this paragraph.
The U.S. Supreme Court says the GOVERNMENT has to LEAVE US ALONE- Judge Antonin Scalia of the U.S. Supreme Court (now deceased) admits that the law DESTROYS churches and families, which are the ONLY thing covered or protected by this website. He also admits that the government's proper role is to leave these institutions, and by implication this ministry, alone. SEDM Exhibit #03.005. The RIGHT TO BE LEFT ALONE is the very definition of JUSTICE, and he says (SEDM Exhibit #04.024) that the court's main purpose is "justice". Below are two humorous real life examples of what happens when this wise admonition is NOT observed:
