About WordTruth Press℠
WordTruth Press℠ had its genesis in WordTruth Ministries, founded in 1998 by Rev. Randy Lariscy in
order to reach the world with the good news of Jesus Christ our LORD and
to teach His disciples to become effective servants of the LORD. The
name "WordTruth" was derived from the wonderful prayer that the LORD
Jesus prayed for all His disciples:
Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is
truth (John 17:17, NIV)
The God-given vision was to provide clear, conservative Bible
teaching using the power of the internet. WordTruth Press℠ is an
expansion of that vision to provide the same Bible teaching resources
through multiple mediums - online, published print resources, and media
(CD/DVD/Streaming). By the grace of God, people are being reached
all over the world with the life-changing truth from God's word.
Our Mission
Providing quality Bible-based resources with significant
spiritual impact for individuals and churches. Education and evangelism are the main focus of WordTruth Press℠.
Following the Great Commission of the LORD Jesus (Matthew 28:18-20),
this organization provides resources to evangelize the world, encourage and
equip believers and churches for evangelism, and provide solid Bible
teaching to build up the body of Christ. A key strategy is to find
low-cost channels for production and distribution to maximize the
availability of our resources to people around the world.
Our Message
WordTruth Press℠ will utilize many different methods and tools
over time. But the message will never change:
"Believe in the LORD Jesus Christ and you will be
saved" (Acts 16:31, NIV). The good news of God's grace
to every person is central to our ministry of evangelism. And the
message of God's grace continues. Every believer is commanded to
"grow in the grace and in the knowledge of our
LORD and Savior Jesus Christ" (1 Peter 3:18, NIV).

Our Confession
The following statements summarize the basic beliefs of WordTruth Press℠:
- The holy, eternal, omnipotent,
omniscient, everywhere-present, Triune nature (Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit - three persons in one divine essence) of the one true God, our
Creator.
- The full deity and humanity of Jesus Christ, His virgin
birth, His sinless life, and substitutionary atoning death on the cross
for the sins of the whole world, His physical bodily resurrection from
the dead, His ascension into heaven, and the blessed hope of His second
coming.
- The full deity and person of the Holy Spirit who convicts
the world of sin, righteousness and judgment, is necessary to
regenerate the lost soul into eternal life, is the Comforter/Counselor
of
every believer from the moment of salvation, and through His power
enables the believer to live a godly life.
- The sinful nature of man whose only hope is in the
grace of God provided through our LORD Jesus Christ.
- That whoever will repent of personal sin and
unbelief, and trust in the LORD Jesus Christ, will be forgiven and
given
new, eternal life in Christ.
- The Bible is the word of God, inerrant, infallible and
authoritative for every aspect of life.

Our Founder and President
Randy Lariscy was licensed to the gospel ministry by Roswell Street Baptist Church in 2003
and ordained by Noonday Baptist Church in 2007. Because of family health issues, Randy is currently unable to enter full-time Christian
ministry. So, he labors in God's kingdom as a Bivocational Minister (2
Thess.3:8-10), supporting his family in a full-time business
vocation while ministering in and
through the local church.
Randy currently serves as an Evangelism Consultant at
Noonday Baptist Church
in Marietta, Georgia. Previously he served for nearly 4 years as
their Education Pastor where he oversaw Education, Family Ministries, & Evangelism.
During that period, discipleship attendance nearly doubled. In
previous ministry roles, he has served senior, median, and young adults as well as university students. He
has also preached part-time at various churches, including a 2
½ year ministry in the
North Atlanta Chinese Baptist Church in East Cobb County.
His home is in Kennesaw, Georgia with Mary -- his one and only beloved wife.
They have two adult children and one grandchild. Randy earned a B.B.A. in Finance & Economics with honors from Kennesaw State University, an M.A. in Pastoral Ministry with high distinction at Trinity Theological Seminary. He also holds a Master of Divinity with honors from Andersonville Theological Seminary.
As a philosophy of life -- simply stated -- Randy would say:
"Walk with God and you will never be lost."
