The Big W of the Universe
(Copyright) by Gregory Diaz (Wayne, New Jersey) In the comedy classic movie “It’s a Mad Mad World” a few people witness an accident. They then make their way down to the driver. Before he “kicks the bucket” the driver tells them about a stash of money buried under a “Big W.” Rather than cooperating and sharing the money they each race to the park where the money is buried to try to claim it first. When they all finally arrive at the park they earnestly begin searching. However, at first they cannot seem to find the big W. They keep […]
A House of Prayer for All Nations
(Copyright) by Jeffrey Caldwell (Arkansas) To those who say the Sabbath was given only for the Jews: Jesus, driving out those selling in the temple area, quotes Isaiah, “My house will be a house of prayer” (Luke 19:46, Isaiah 56:7). In the same place the LORD says, “my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations” He also says “foreigners … who keep the Sabbath without desecrating it … I will … give … joy in my house of prayer” (Isaiah 56:6-7). Jesus says, “the Sabbath was made for man” (Mark 2:27) — for humanity. Astronomically, the seven-day week is the […]
Truth is Truth
(Copyright) by Ray Daly (Lincoln, ND) The above title is based on the words of 2 Tim. 2:15, “Study to show yourself approved unto God. A workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the truth.” Note the underlined word, “dividing”. It should seem evident that this is referring to separating truth from falsity. We will see an example of this shortly. As well, we will also see evidence separating “truth from truth”. The main point I am trying to get across in this study, is to encourage believers to become as those spoken of in Acts 17:11. […]
Are We a Nation of Nominal (Name Only) Christians?
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma) I read with interest Dr. Michael Brown’s commentary on Brady ‘Phanatik’ Goodwin’s announcement that he was renouncing his Christian faith. What caught my eye was the informal and sterile nature of the faith he was renouncing. In explaining his decision, Goodwin said, I sent a letter to my church withdrawing my membership and saying that I am denouncing the Christian faith that I have believed, professed, proclaimed, and defended for the last 30 years of my life. My heart goes out to Mr. Goodwin, but it sounds as though his Christianity was rooted in externals such […]
America Is a Stranger Unto Itself
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) To ask what has happened to America is a question with disturbing answers. Radical changes are overtaking every attempt to stop what can only be described as unadulterated godlessness that is going to result in deadly consequences the country in no way is prepared for. Immoral behavior has become the norm and anyone who takes a moral stand is banned by mainstream media outlets and considered a social pariah. Labels with expired expiration dates are attached to anyone who has views based on moral principles, especially from the bible. A Nation Plagued by IndifferenceFor decades, the […]
What Does Domestic Violence Look Like?
Copyright © 2008 Brenda Branson (Hanson, Kentucky) Domestic violence is “any behavior that is intended to control another human being through the use of fear, humiliation, and verbal or physical assaults”, according to Dr. Susan Forward, Ph.D., author of Men Who Hate Women and the Women Who Love Them. Domestic violence includes:Physical violence: slapping, hitting, burning, punching, choking, shoving, beating, throwing things, locking out, restraining, pushing, grabbing, twisting limbs, pinching, pulling out clumps of hair, etc. Emotional abuse: shaming, ridiculing, insulting, demeaning, name calling, threatening, withholding, manipulating, insulting, financial control, undermining, etc. Sexual abuse: rape, forcing reproductive decisions, forcing someone to […]

Have You Met or Seen an Alien?
by Jonathan Gray (New Zealand) “Sorry, your son has been killed in Vietnam,” Jenny Rowe was officially informed. The grieving mother was then comforted by a friend who invited her to come to a seance and she would meet her dead son. At the meeting, her friend was proved “right” when the “dead son” appeared before his emotional and happy mother. They hugged and kissed and told each how much they loved one another. Then the “son” said, “I must return to heaven.” Jenny went home that night the happiest mother in the whole of North America. Sometime later, she answered a knock on […]
Signs and Wonders or God’s Righteousness Being Exercised in Faith?
(Copyright) by Steven Blackledge (Sonora, California) Ensuring that our faith is not shaken during these precarious times we are living in is based on our reliance upon the Spirit of God as individual believers… Understanding our relationship with our Father in heaven through our Lord Jesus Christ is priority as HE WHO is not seen is as far greater stronghold than anyone, and thing of the creation… As scripture reminds us, we should not be moved as we experience what our Savior declared would be “the beginning of sorrows.”… God is love, and WHO HE is must be our strength, […]
The Vulgar State of America
(Copyright) by Joseph B. Baity (Charlotte, North Carolina) Time was, in America, when we did not accept crude language, gestures, or behavior in polite society—certainly not in mixed company—and never during prime-time television. Offensive words and actions, those that transgressed decency, were reserved for “adult-only” entertainment venues, back alleys, and the proverbial locker room. Alas, that is no longer the case. Public discourse and what passes for entertainment are now coarser than ever. Vulgarity has gone mainstream, and few, if any, seem to care. Nine years ago, Dr. R. Albert Mohler, as president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, penned an article […]

The Two Triangles of the New Testament
(Copyright) by Avram Yehoshua (Flagstaff, Arizona) The two Triangles consist of three Scripture points each that the Lord Jesus, Paul, John, and the Book of Hebrews present concerning how Christians should walk out their faith in Jesus of Nazareth. The two Triangles reveal the biblical way to follow Jesus Christ that will challenge you, but hopefully you’ll see that the Lord has another Way for you to follow Him—His Way. The First Triangle deals with Jesus being our Example and the Second Triangle speaks of the Church (the Body of Christ). If you can, please try and disprove the concept that […]
To Separate or Not to Separate
by Brenda Branson (Hanson, Kentucky) Copyright © 2004 Most pastors and marriage counselors recommend that a couple stay together to work out major conflicts. Their rationale is that issues are best dealt with face-to-face instead of at a distance, with two people working together to come to a mutual understanding. This is true in most safe relationships. However, in an abusive situation, it is sometimes healthy and wise to separate, with the separation having a structure and a goal for the restoration of the relationship, if at all possible. If you are in a 15-round prize fight, there’s nothing wrong […]
Day of – ATONEMENT – and Suffering
(Copyright) by Richard Frates (Easley, South Carolina) Leviticus 23:26-27 “The Lord said to Moses – The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. Hold a sacred assembly and deny yourselves.” V28 “Do not work on that day, because it is the Day of Atonement, when atonement is made for you before the Lord your God.” The Day of Atonement is an invitation and command, calling believers to identify with the death and sufferings of Christ by fasting on this day. If not fasting, then how else would you “deny yourselves?” It is also a prophecy that […]
Why, Oh God, Why?
(Copyright) by Bill Glover (Eugene Oregon) Tragedy strikes and we find ourselves crying out to God: “Why, oh God, Why? Why did this tragedy happen to me? After all, I believe and trust in you and yet you allowed this terrible thing to happen to me! I pray for your intervention and yet you do not hear and answer! Why?” The above scenario is something we can all identify with regularly. We truly believe we are trusting God and serving Him faithfully and yet bad things happen to us. Why? Then we struggle maintaining faith in Him. If God really loves […]
Lost a Job – God Will Help You
Sent by Glen Walker (Fort Wayne, Indiana) God watches His children Years ago, when Colorado was going through hard economic times, I lost my job, and it took me six months to find another. My unemployment ran out, I had no income coming in, and I was behind on my rent. Eventually I was evicted from my apartment, and my 7-year-old daughter and I were living in the car with everything we could fit in it. We sold everything that wasn’t absolutely essential and used that money to buy food. We washed up in gas station bathrooms, and I tried to find well-lighted […]
The Love of God and Enduring till the End
(Copyright) by Tommy Willis (New Orleans, Louisiana) The trials of life have increased with the Coronavirus, with a rise in suicides, domestic violence, drug abuse, and we could make a long list. Some are having frightening, pandemic-induced dreams. That’s the reality of the times we are living in—increased tribulation. The Plague has made us think more about our mortality. I heard some social psychologist say recently that we in this society were not ready to face our mortality; and the plague is forcing us to; and many are terrified. Too often we live in denial of death and suffering; and the plagues could […]
A Short Study of Five Common Beliefs About the Scriptural Calendar
(Copyright) by Gary Miller (Pocahontas, Arkansas) The Scriptural calendar has been a matter of differing views since time immemorial. A major cause for this uncertainty is the loss in antiquity of the knowledge of the patriarchal astronomers. Although only sketches remain within the Scriptures, enough details are there to set weekly and annual Sabbaths, New Moons, Land Sabbaths, and Jubilee years. This is not unexpected since Yahweh commands observance of those times in their seasons (Lev. 23:4; Gen. 1:14). How could He command us to keep His Sacred times, which is the sign He sanctifies us (Ex. 31:13; Ezk. 20:12, 20), […]
O’Biden Care: No Voice, No Choice, No Rejoicing
(Copyright) by Curtis Dahlgren (Stephenson, Michigan) “Use your freedom to put to silence the foolishness of ignorant people (and the over-educated).” – Peter (paraphrased) THAT DOESN’T SOUND LIKE a very “Christian” thing to do, but the apostle Peter wasn’t going woke and advocating censorship. He was advocating living a blameless life and being prepared to give a good answer if asked to explain your faith (the perfect squelch). Peter was addressing the “scattered tribes” in Asia Minor where people weren’t under the Roman boot as much as in the Holy Land. The apostle Paul was free to say about anything he wanted […]
“They Sang as it were a New Song Before the Throne”
by Author Unknown (Minnesota) In Rev. 14:1-5, God speaks of 144,000 redeemed from among men–first fruits–virgins–who follow the Lamb wherever He goes–not defiled with women {church groups}–having the God-Family Name written on their foreheads. It is these redeemed that begin “singing” {speaking of} the new way (Ps. 138:5) to rightly worship God and follow Christ and make Them your God and put away your idols far from you. ONLY Jesus Christ was anointed to be your Mediator–none else! In Is. 42:8 God says no longer He will give His glory and praise to your carved images {men who lead you to […]

Passover, Obligation, and Love
(Copyright) by John W. Ritenbaugh (Lancaster, South Carolina) Recently in Miami, Florida, a vacationing West Virginian pulled a few crumpled bills from his pocket to tip a valet-parking attendant, mistakenly giving him a thousand dollars! Driving off, he was well on his way back to West Virginia before he discovered what he had done. He returned to Miami to find that the attendant, knowing the man had made a mistake, had given the money to his supervisor to hold in case the man returned to claim it. The news report primarily focused its attention on the honest young man who returned […]
Breaking with Diotrephes
(Copyright) by Rich Traver (Clifton, Colorado) Many Biblical Examples exist of Political Situations within the Church. One notable situation was the Congregational Regime related by the beloved Elder and Apostle John as he concluded his Third Epistle. In these latter decades, especially as the Church of God grew, becoming its most significant work in centuries, then when coming under extreme duress, both from without and especially from within, a concept of government was developed to meet the challenges of the times. Not all members were entirely comfortable with what developed, and not all were treated equitably as it all played out. […]
The Seven Thunders
(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) “And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud, and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire. And he had in his hand a little book open. And he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth. And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars, and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I […]
Wonder of the Human Ear – How Do We Hear?
(Copyright) by David Rives (Lewisburg, Tennessee) Have you ever wondered how you can hear my voice, or any other sound? Our sensitive ears can pick up the faint whisper of the breeze, the buzz of a bee’s wings, or the patter of rain on a puddle. These same ears can withstand music blaring in our headphones, a baby screaming, or a car back-firing. How is this possible? Well, here’s the short, simplistic version of how your ears work. Sound travels on sound waves. These waves are collected by the outer ear and travel down the ear canal to the eardrum causing […]
America’s Covenant with God
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma) The earliest immigrants to this land believed that they, as a people, had entered into a sacred covenant with God. This was clearly expressed by John Winthrop who, in 1630, led a flotilla of eleven ships with 700 passengers to New England and founded the city of Boston and the Massachusetts Bay Colony. During their journey across the Atlantic, Winthrop formulated a sermon entitled “A Model of Christian Charity.” In it he exhorted his fellow pilgrims that “the eyes of the world are upon us” and that God would have them, in their new home, to be that […]
Did the Flood Cover Mountains?
(Copyright) by Ernest L. Martin (Portland, Oregon) Did the Flood of Noah produce so much water that all the mountains of the earth were submerged? What is the real meaning of Noah’s Flood? Recognizing that the river system that was known in the time of Adam was still in evidence in Moses’ day, goes a long way in showing that the topographical features of the earth in and around Mesopotamia were essentially the same at both periods of time. This gives reasonable proof that nothing in a geographical sense was drastically altered when the flood came on the earth in the […]
Seeing Is Not Believing
(Copyright) by Ryan McClure (Charlotte, North Carolina) Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” (John 20:29) We all know the old saying that claims, “Seeing is believing.” It has us trusting that if we can see whatever it is with our own two eyes, we can accept it to be so. For instance, we would probably be skeptical about a snake and a hamster being best friends. Perhaps even more astonishing would be the friendships among three predators: a bear, lion, and tiger (affectionately labeled “BLT”). Yet, these […]
Does Color Matter?
(Copyright) by David Rives (Lewisburg, Tennessee) About half of the world’s bird species migrates. That’s a lot of birds since there are more than 10,000 species! These small travelers have an ingrained knowledge given to them by their Creator to migrate as seasons change, often to follow food sources or reach safer nesting grounds. They can take surprisingly long journeys, including one tiny type of warbler that migrates over 8,000 miles one way, setting the record for distance traveled related to size. Researchers have found something most migrating birds share in common — lighter colored feathers than nonmigratory birds. They suggest these paler […]

The Bottomless Pit
(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) One of the most fascinating and intriguing chapters of the Book of Revelation is chapter nine. We shall discuss the symbolic meaning of the things described in the first 12 verses. Rather than quoting these verses, take a minute to read them for yourself. To summarize, we begin with the sounding of the Fifth Trumpet. A star falls from heaven to the earth. This star or fallen angel has the key to the “bottomless pit.” To have the key to something means that you have possession of it. If I hand you my car keys, […]
Captivities of Israel and Judah
(Copyright) by BibleStudy.org (Farmington, Michigan) When did the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah go into captivity? Why did God send them out of the land he gave them? Where did they settle after leaving their captors? Long before being taken into captivity, Israel existed as a unified kingdom under Saul (reigned from 1050 to 1010 B.C.), King David (1010 – 970) and Solomon (970 – 930). Soon after the death of Solomon, however, the Kingdom of Israel divided into two separate pieces with each possessing their own line of rulers. Ten of the tribes formed the Northern Kingdom (also known as the Kingdom of Israel in the Bible) […]
The Prophecy of 70 Years!
by Paul Janvier Mbock (Cameroon) (Jeremiah 25: 11-14, 29:10, Dan 9: 2, Zac 1:12)As the modern state of Israel (composed of Jews or Judah), recently commemorated the 70th anniversary of its creation or existence, on May 14, 2018, we must turn to the Word of YHWH (Torah), to understand the implication of this very significant event, in the fulfillment of some important biblical prophecies, in this end time! “Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.” (Amos 3:7)-NKJV). The 70-year prophecy was made by YHWH, through Jeremiah, after the ancient nation of Judah (the […]
Rider with Bow?
(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) In the Book of Revelation, chapter six, we find the famous “four horsemen of the Apocalypse.” The first horse listed is a white horse. Some may think this white horse is similar to the white horse that Christ is riding in Revelation 19 at His return to fight against the nations. However, when you correlate the four horses with Christ’s explanation found in Matthew 24, then this white horse corresponds to the spread of false religion or a false message of some kind. Notice Revelation 6:1-2: “And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the […]
“Hummingbird Nest”
(Copyright) by David Rives (Tennessee) Tiny homes are all the rage these days. They even have television shows dedicated to showcasing these little custom jewels. But if you think that 300 square feet is minimalist, what if I told you that I’m showcasing today a comfortable home with a floor plan of only 250 – square millimeters, that is! A lot of work goes into building a Hummingbird nest. These tiny homes are normally really hard to spot, because otherwise, predators might come and harm the young. The female Hummingbird camouflages the nest with bits and pieces of lichen and moss […]
Why Are We to Count to Pentecost?
(Copyright) by Laura Lee (Bismarck, North Dakota) PentecostPentecost means count fifty. Pentecost is also called the Feast of First Fruits and the Feast of Weeks. We are told in: Leviticus 23:15 to count to Pentecost. Lev 23:15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete: When was the Wave Sheaf Offering?Many believe that because we are told to count on the morrow after the sabbath, that this means the weekly sabbath. And, because we are to count, they understand that to […]
Yet Another “Happy New Year”
(Copyright) by John Jewell (London, England) Is what most of the British people were wishing each other as the chimes of Big Ben rang throughout London and resounded from the loudspeakers of radios and television sets throughout the rest of the western world as their citizens likewise wished each other a Happy New Year or however it is in their local language. Bonne Annee I think, in French! Throughout the United Kingdom parties were being held, fireworks let off in celebration. And, of course, the usual competition for best firework display between Sydney in Australia and London. The London organizers […]
You Are King

Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of […]

Your peace would have been like a river and your godliness as the waves of the sea.” – the God of Israel FROM WHENCE COME WARS AND FIGHTING AMONG YOU? “From the lusts that war within you… You adulterers and adulteresses, know you not that friendship with the world is enmity with God?” – James Someone said that only a nation on its knees is able to stand up to its enemies.

DOOMSDAY CLOCK TURNS 75 THIS MONTHCreated in 1947 at the University of Chicago the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, dubbed it the “Doomsday Clock” as a symbolic clock whose setting is based on world events.

Realizing the bomb, they had created could be a global threat, the clock was developed by the Manhattan […]
Prayer Closet Dynamo!
(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) When you pray, what is your spirit saying to God? “O God, I’m a miserable wretch, not worthy of your mercy. I beg and plead with you to hear my cry and grant me this one petition to be delivered from my need [whatever it may be: healing, financial help, peace of mind, etc.].” We are all familiar with the Psalms which are hymns set to music. Yet, they are also prayers. “Thus conclude the prayers of David son of Jesse” (Psalm 72:20). David was a musician. He knew the powerful effect that music has on our […]
Facts on Tithing
by Wayne Schatzle (West Chester, Ohio) I am bewildered by the tactics seen on television in fund raising efforts. If you watch much of “Christian” broadcasting there is a common teaching: (a) the law of God is done away; (b) no amount of good works will get you a place in heaven; (c) believers are to Tithe, which is to pay 10% of their income to the Christian effort. Any thinking person will find some confusion in the things preached. If the Law is done away- why does a person have to tithe? And if no good works earn you […]
Evolution Is Dead! Take That, Nietzsche!
(Copyright) by David Rives (Tennessee) We have never been able to create life from non-life in the lab, despite millions upon millions of tests in the most favorable conditions possible. We have never observed one basic kind of animal turn into another kind, much less a human. Animals adapt…they change… this is observable. But a dinosaur has never turned into a bird any more than a giraffe could ever turn into a hippopotamus! That is a belief based purely on faith — not on the fossil record. Charles Darwin was not a scientist. He was an explorer and author with a vivid imagination […]
Overview of the Covenants

Jones (Nevada) The following pages contain the basic outlines of the old and new agreements with national Israel and the Sovereign Father’s agreement with the elect during the Gospel age of salvation. THE FIRST AGREEMENT WITH NATIONAL ISRAEL TYPE OF AGREEMENTThe first agreement was an exclusive agreement between God and the individuals who comprised national Israel. Moreover, this agreement was open-ended and included the ten commandments, obedience to whatever God asked of them, and the practice of the sacrificial system. Deut.29:1.

Wake Up to Reality
by John Jewell (London, England) In the Letter from London a couple of weeks ago we wrote of the next major financial disaster to hit the western world following the credit crunch and the fallout from that. This was the incredible scam perpetrated by Bernard Madoff which resulted in a large number of people losing around $50 billion in total. A newspaper survey of the major losses showed that quite a number of people, who had many millions of dollars and pounds and wanted a safe, but profitable, haven for these funds had entrusted Mr. Madoff with the entire amount.

HOW Elijah will Restore all Things!
by Paul Janvier Mbock (Cameroon) Here is How Elijah will restore all things (Matthew 17:11), Before the coming of Jesus-Christ (Mal 4:5-6; Act 3:19-21) ! (NB: All in this document is translated from French) God says in the Bible: “Do not keep the prophetic words of this book (the Bible) a secret, because the time is near.” (Rev 22:10). With the help of the Holy Spirit (Jn 14:26; 16:13-14), God shows us today, the work Elijah has to do, just before the coming of the Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord! (A) What are the Things to be restored, according to the […]
You Can Pray Like King David
(Copyright) by Nestor A. Toro (Wadsworth, Ohio) The ancient king of Israel has more of his prayers recorded than any other figure in Scripture. Examining them allows us to deepen our relationships with our Creator. King David was a man so extraordinary that, in Acts 13:22, God described him as “a man after My own heart, which shall fulfill all My will.” That is a huge compliment from the God of the universe. How would you like to be referenced as a role model of righteousness? As was the case with other great servants of God, David was not perfect. In I Chronicles 28:3, he […]
A Day of Lust, Not Love
(Copyright) by Martin G. Collins (Charlotte, North Carolina) Our Savior Jesus Christ tells the woman at the well in Samaria, “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him” (John 4:23). As the first great commandment (Matthew 22:37-38) suggests, true worship of God and agape love are entwined. In flagrant contrast, most people in this world celebrate their holidays, not in spirit, truth, and love, but in fleshly practices, lies, and in the case of Saint Valentine’s Day, lust. Sexual immorality has always been the essential ingredient […]
Jesus Our Passover
Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) The Crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth marked a turning point in the history of the Jewish people and led to the birth of the church of God forming the spiritual body of Christ. Concerning the death of Jesus, the Lamb of God, the apostle Paul states, “For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us” (I Corinthians 5:7). The term “passover” refers back to the Israelites’ sojourn in Egypt when God commanded them to slay a lamb then put its blood upon the lintel and doorposts of their dwellings. The lamb’s blood would cause the destroyer to […]
