(Copyright) by Zac Poonen (Bangalore, India) God has allowed Satan and our lusts to be so strong, so that we don’t ever imagine that we can conquer them with our own strength. We are compelled to seek for God’s power. The Israeli spies saw themselves as grasshoppers when they saw the size of the inhabitants of Canaan (Num.13:32,33). Yet Joshua and Caleb trusted in God’s power and entered the land and slew those giants. We need that spirit to conquer ALL our lusts. So, keep saying, in faith, “I can, and I WILL conquer Satan and all my lusts, through […]

Why I Don’t Celebrate Halloween

(Copyright) by Sandeep Poonen (Bangalore, India) One of my children recently came home reciting this rhyme learned while at school. “Witches, ghosts, and goblins, walking down the street Knock on every doorway, ‘Trick or treat!’” I was shocked by how my child, in all innocence, could sing so casually and trivially about such scary things. I also noticed that this song grouped ghosts and goblins which are not real, with witches. I realized that this song sought to group witches into that same silly, not-real category. Some people think of witches as women with pointed-hats and a broom, or witch doctors in a jungle. But […]

The Price of Atonement

(Copyright) by Richard T. Ritenbaugh (Charlotte, North Carolina) “Nothing that man can present to God by way of sacrifice can ever purchase the blessing of forgiveness.”—Charles H. Spurgeon Like Luke in Acts 27:9, we tend to think of the Day of Atonement as “the Fast.” Afflicting our souls by not eating and drinking for the entire 24-hour period looms large in our thoughts as the day approaches—and certainly as we are experiencing the hunger pangs as hour number 23 crawls along! Even so, the holy day is called “the Day of Atonement” (or “Day of Atonements,” as the Hebrew word is plural) in Leviticus […]

2023 may be the year that brings Great changes to world travel – esp. for the Feasts

(Copyright) by James Steinle (Swanville, Minnesota) https://leohohmann.com/2022/11/18/g20-leaders-agree-to-work-toward-mandatory-digital-health-passports-for-all-human-beings-this-will-kickstart-one-world-beast-system-experimented-with-during-covid/ I think the larger COGs and their members may well have to rethink and change what/how and where Feasts are done, and especially ministers who travel. Unless they are willing to get the ‘jab’ or be able to pass a physical, and what that portends for them individually. Hopefully they, and all, are up to speed on the issues.

Nuclear Sword of Damocles

(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) A nuclear attack against the U.S. is an imminent danger similar to the “sword of Damocles” of Greek mythology. Nuclear devastation will be the ultimate Greek tragedy. We cannot be lulled into a false sense of security against the unthinkable. We must not fall asleep at such a perilous time in history. “Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about seeking whom he may devour” (I Peter 5:8). The following short video details the reality of a nuclear conflict. The threat posed by hypersonic missiles is here to stay and […]

America’s Founding Prayer was Offered in the Name of Jesus

(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) The First Continental Congress opened with Bible reading and prayer on September 5, 1774, at Carpenter’s Hall in Philadelphia, PA. Fifty-six Delegates were present from all 13 colonies except Georgia. Among those present were George Washington and Patrick Henry from Virginia and Samuel Adams and John Adams from Massachusetts. They met to discuss how to deal with Britain’s oppressive actions toward the colonies. Beginning with the Stamp Act of 1765, relations between the colonists and Great Britain had steadily deteriorated as King George continued to pile on tyrannical taxes and regulations about which they had […]

Is God a Family?

(Copyright) by Bill Hillebrenner (Matthews, North Carolina) Some believers think that the Word, Jesus Christ, was a created being. Revelation 3:14 is one scripture that is wrested in attempt to support this position. And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God (Revelation 3:14, KJV throughout). This verse has been twisted to mean that the Amen, the Christ, who is also the Beginning, the Alpha as well as the Omega, came into being at his birth. It is true that Revelation 3:14 does not […]

What to Expect in 2012

(Copyright) by John Jewell (London, England) What do you expect to happen in this new year of 2012? It certainly hasn’t started very well. Millions still suffer from an ongoing drought in various parts of the world. Many more suffer from the aftermath of floods over the past two or three years. Others still suffer dreadfully from the massive earthquakes that have inflicted the planet in recent years.. Countries such as Haiti where more than half the population still suffer and regardless of the weather continue to live in ramshackle shelters made of whatever scrap of wood or piece of […]

A Big Lie of One Scripture

(Copyright) by Darwin Lee (Bismarck, North Dakota) One prevalent lie of a particular scripture held by almost all of humanity, (except the few) throughout most all nations, if not all, is the lie about Gen. 3:16. All readers reading this article know well what the lie is. Except most do not recognize that it is a giant of a lie. That lie has been woven into the fabric of most of humanity for six thousand years now, that men-husbands are to rule over his wife. In general, men believe they are to rule over the inferior to them, women. A huge swath […]

The Sign of Jonah

(Copyright) by Richard Frates (Easley, South Carolina) Christ and the Tomb – Jonah and the great fish. Christians, Non-believers, and atheists ask the question: How can Jonah live in the belly of the whale for three days and three nights? 1 Peter 3:15 “In your heart set apart Christ as Lord. Always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the – hope – that you have.” That would include – questions – the hope that you have. The answer begins with: The bible does Not say Jonah Lived in the belly […]

Letters

Letters by Ray Daly & William P. Goff Letter from Ray Daly (November 12, 2022)Have a great coming week. And “wow the snow”. The Weather Channel even spent a few minutes discussing Bismarck’s snowfall. though they said it was 17″. They must have spoken before the final snow fell. I really had to shovel a lot of snow to get a pathway for one of our cars to get out. A neighbor came and got the plowing pile for me. I was so thankful that he had a snow blower. Letter from William P. Goff (November 12, 2022)Thank you, Laura, for […]

Ukraine Aftermath

(Copyright) by Rich Traver (Clifton, Colorado) We may not realize what we’re seeing in the events in central Europe. First, we don’t know Putin’s real objective, but it involves Ukrainian corruption beyond belief. It even involves important individuals in our current administration. The bio-weapons labs have been unreported, even though the US Congress had to ‘fess-up’ after first denying. But more than those elements, we are realizing that Russia IS NOT the big boogeyman (superpower) that we’ve long imagined. Secondly, that ‘smart weapons’ even among a small armed force can devastate the more substantial force. Russia can’t place any of its navy in the Black Sea! […]

Beautifully Broken

(Copyright) by Brenda Branson (Hanson, Kentucky) 12 I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. 13 No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. Philippians 3:12-14 NLT Paul was the first to admit he […]

Should Women Remain Silent in the Church?

(Copyright) by Clint Byars (Sharpsburg, Georgia) This is probably one of the most misunderstood subjects in the New Testament. There are two primary passages where the subject is addressed, 1 Corinthians 14:34-36 and 1 Timothy 2:11-15. 1 Corinthians 14 KJV 34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. 35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. 36 What? came […]

‘God bless America?’ Why should he?

(Copyright) by Curtis Dahlgren (Stephenson, Michigan) “I know that the Lord will heal this land because God is not done with America yet.” –Mike Pence (DECISION magazine, March 2022) “YET” is the operative word there. Ronald Reagan said that status quo is “the Latin word for the mess we’re in.” As many people have said in different ways: “If you are content with the status quo, are you out of your mind?” If you still don’t understand what the root problem is, especially now, you’ll probably never get it. The tit-for-tat in Ukraine could ignite World War III. We’re already losing 100,000 of our […]

666 Number of the Beast

(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) ”And he [the second beast] causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name” (Revelation 13:16-17). What did the apostle John mean, “the number of his name”? In verse 18, John said to count or calculate or add up this number of the name which would come to 666. So, the “number” of the name of the […]

When Were the Angels Created and When Were They Corrupted?

November 19, 2022July 8, 2025 by Laura Lee

(Copyright) by Jeffrey Caldwell (Arkansas) The angelic realm is created (Colossians 1:15-17). God created the earth, the heavens and everything in them in six days (Exodus 20:11). All the angels were joyful at the laying of the foundations of the earth (Job 38:4-7). The angels were created to serve people for a holy purpose (Hebrews 1:14). At the end of the sixth day everything was “very good” in God’s estimation (Genesis 1:28-31). Satan was in Eden, at that time, as the model of perfection, full of wisdom and exquisitely beautiful, a guardian with access to God (Ezekiel 28:12-14). On Day One of the week in which […]

Benjamin’s Neck

(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) ”And he [Joseph] fell upon his brother Bejamin’s neck and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck” (Genesis 45:14). If Jerusalem is the “apple” of God’s eye, then where can we find His geographical neck? Is it time for Christians to “stick our necks out”? How so? “Let not truth and mercy forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart” (Proverbs 3:3). The neck connects the head with the heart. Ponder this if you dare, but don’t “break your neck” over it. Meanwhile, the crowd roared with excitement as the two speeding […]

The Stakes Couldn’t Be Higher For America’s Survival

(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) Anger, frustration, uncertainty, and fear are just a few of the words that describes America’s emotional state today. It is a fragile condition and one in which the future of the country is being determined. The nation is aimlessly drifting without a sense of direction. Problems are insurmountable but denied as such by far too many people. There are no concrete answers offered, but only personal opinions. Solutions are as elusive as people trying to hold air in the palm of their hand. How can the nation survive if Americans are turning on one another? How […]

Understanding 1 Timothy 6:16

(Copyright) by Royce Mitchell, Jr. (Manvel, Texas) It is better understood in context. I’ve put the context below from the BBE bible: 1Ti 6:13 I give you orders before God, the giver of life, and Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate gave witness to the faith, 1Ti 6:14 To keep the word untouched by evil, clear from all shame, till the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ: 1Ti 6:15 Which at the right time he will make clear, who is the eternal and only Ruler, King of kings, and Lord of lords; 1Ti 6:16 Who only has life for ever, living in light to […]

The Financial Policy of Jesus and The Apostles

(Copyright) by Zac Poonen (Bangalore, India) Jesus has given us an example in money-matters that all who serve Him, and all churches must follow. When Jesus worked as a carpenter, up to the age of 30, He earned His living – honestly, without ever cheating anyone and without ever getting into debt. “Every servant of the Lord must ensure that he manifests the attitude of Christ in relation to money.” Thereafter, He was in full-time ministry for the next 3½ years. During this period, He had some strict principles in financial matters. His apostles followed those principles exactly and rigidly. The church is […]

Let Your Women KEEP SILENCE

November 12, 2022July 3, 2025 by Laura Lee

(Copyright) by Rich Traver (Clifton, Colorado) Long-Standing Tradition, in Churches of nearly Every Persuasion Generally Excludes Women from serving in Pastoral Capacities. What is the Source of Our ongoing Prohibition Against Women Speakers? The Apostle Paul addressed a growing question that was beginning to raise concerns in the early New Testament Church. In synagogues of that generation the issue would not have come to the fore, as women were strictly prohibited from participating in any speaking capacity. The focal scripture is the passage found in 1st Corinthians 14, verses 34 and 35, which reads: “Let your women keep silence in the churches: […]

1 Corinthians 15:52 Question

(Copyright) by Ray Daly (Lincoln, North Dakota) What time period in the future is the following verse speaking of? 1 Cor. 15:52. “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump. For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead in Christ shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A clue. Each day was ushered in by virtue of the “sounding of a trumpet”. Editor’s Note:If you already know the answer, then why ask? 1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be […]

Dismantled

(Copyright) by Jeffrey Caldwell (Arkansas) Dismantled: is a scientific deconstruction of the theory of evolution (2020). The talking heads in this program include some of my favorite Bible-believing scientists; it also features literature of leading evolutionary scientists. We all have the same evidence; the film makes the case that biblical history is more consistent with actual observational science than evolutionary history. This is true, even though biblical history never changes while evolutionary history is constantly being revised. In the view of the filmmakers our actual knowledge is converging towards consistency with the biblical narrative. A lot of genetics here, but also several […]

Are You Afraid of Failure?

(Copyright) by Brenda Branson (Hanson, Kentucky) How does it feel to fail? You know all too well, don’t you—the sickening feeling in the pit of your stomach when you didn’t live up to your own or someone else’s expectations. You feel foolish and incompetent, discouraged and defeated. Cruel laughter and smug remarks from people who have no confidence in you ring in your ears and drown out the encouragement of well-meaning friends. You can see it in their eyes—an expression of sympathy and disappointment—if they dare to even look at you. You wish a hole in the floor would swallow you up […]

Do you feel safer than you did in the 1950s?

(Copyright) by Curtis Dahlgren (Stephenson, Michigan) “We are safer now than we were in the fifties.” – lady on a Facebook thread DON’T START WITH ME, MA’AM. I can count about a dozen neighbors and brethren who have been murdered in recent decades, and I’ve lived in the country almost all my life. Jefferson County, Wisconsin didn’t have one homicide in the decade of the 50s. Didn’t you hear about 55 people getting shot in Chicago alone over Labor Day, ma’am? No one is saying that the olden days were perfect, but there are factual statistics on divorce, births out of wedlock, […]

Unsettled Law

(Copyright) by Richard Frates (Easley, South Carolina) Unsettled Law: President Trump, has – SURRENDERED – to the Devils’ children, with the words “Same sex marriage is settled law.” That is disgraceful, and the same as saying: the judgment of five judges, overrules the judgment of God. President Trump has, with that statement, placed himself and all Americans, bowing at the Devils feet. And, he has effectively, agreed with Satan, to criminalize God’s law in America. What God condemns, according to President Trump, must be honored; because of five bigoted and perverted judges. Saying ‘same sex marriage is settled law’ is disarming […]

America’s First Chief Justice Gave Some Shocking Advice About How to Vote

(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) John Jay (1745-1829), America’s first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, gave some very direct advice about how to vote this November. That his advice will seem shocking to so many is only indicative of how far we have strayed, as a nation, from the mindset of America’s founding generation. Let Christian Morality Be Your GuideJay was a lawyer from New York, a member of the Continental Congress, and a passionate abolitionist. He was one of the authors of the Federalist Papers, along with Alexander Hamilton and James Madison. Held in very high esteem by his generation, […]

Establishing The Throne of David

(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) This video was just released today, October 10th, 2022. Perfect timing for the Feast of Tabernacles. Jacob Prasch does a deep dive into the tribes which primarily helped to establish David’s throne over all of Israel. He shows how this was a shadow of the establishment of Christ’s throne at His future return. Jesus primarily lived in the Galilee area. Why? This was the area occupied by the tribes of Zebulun, Issachar, and Naphtali. Jacob explains that eleven of Christ’s original apostles were from these tribes. Once again, understanding the reasons for it will give […]

The Feast of the Open Book

(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) The Feast of Tabernacles is a joyous time of year. It is a time of bounty and celebration for the blessings of God. After the harvest, families would travel together to Jerusalem to celebrate and thank God similar to what we do today at Thanksgiving. Because the seven-day celebration was connected to a harvest, it was also known as the Feast of Ingathering (See Exodus 23:16; 34:22). There is another name for the Feast of Tabernacles that has developed over the centuries. Near the end of Moses life, he gave a final instruction. Notice: “So Moses wrote […]

Do We Need the Old Testament?

(Copyright) by John Reiss (Charlotte, North Carolina) “. . . the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” (II Timothy 3:15) An Amazon television series called The Man in the High Castle is an alternative history story based on the Axis powers prevailing in WWII. One of its most intriguing sub-plots centered on the Nazis seeking to erase the vanquished Americans’ history by rewriting it and obliterating any evidence of it. They even blew up the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor, replacing it with a different statue that fit their twisted ideology’s […]

Evolution and Pop Culture

October 29, 2022June 27, 2025 by Laura Lee

(Copyright) by David Rives (Lewisburg, Tennessee) If you pay attention while you’re watching TV shows and movies, you might be surprised by the amount of evolutionary content the writers and producers work into the finished product. Everything from kids’ movies about the Ice Age, to Flintstones cartoons, to sci-fi movies have subtle (or not-so-subtle) messages of evolution or millions of years. This is especially common within the science fiction genre of films. Many of them feature back stories that dip into the far distant past or alien civilizations that have evolved elsewhere in the universe. Indeed, this genre started to become […]

The Return of Christ

October 29, 2022September 16, 2025 by Laura Lee

(Copyright) by Ray Daly (Lincoln, North Dakota) Note what follows, and ask yourself what will happen, when the following event takes place. In Rev. 6:16, all nations on the earth will see the sign of the Messiah in heaven. The sign being the “Lamb”. Then ask yourself how said nations will view said vision. First consider that some 1.2 billion or so Christians believe in the return of Christ, the “Lamb”. How will they react when they see said “Lamb”? Will they prepare to war against him, or will they prepare for his coming in peace? But secondly, did you know that another […]

Now, Professor Timothy Darvill (of the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology, Bournemouth University, UK) has revealed Stonehenge’s solar secrets. In a 2022 research article published in the open access Antiquity Journal, Darvill outlines how Stonehenge was erected as a “perpetual calendar based on the 365.25 solar days in a mean […]

Coming to an End of Ourselves

(Copyright) by Zac Poonen (Bangalore, India) It is only when we have come to a thorough end of ourselves, that we are ready to come to the Lord. Jesus invited people saying, “Come to Me, all you who are weary and heavy-laden” (Matt.11:28). Jesus does not invite everyone to come to Him. Here we see Him inviting only those who are sick and tired of their sin-defeated lives. The prodigal son came back to his father only when he had “spent everything” and “no man gave him anything”. Then only did he “come to his senses” (Luke 15:14-18). We can […]

What is the Jubilee Year?

(Copyright) by BibleStudy.org (Farmington, Michigan) What is the year of Jubilee? Why is it important? How is it related to Jesus’ first message? In the Bible, the year of Jubilee occurs after seven sets of seven intervals (49 total) are completed. This special period is proclaimed on one of God’s annual feast days known as the Day of Atonement. Because God owns everything, he set up a special, regularly occurring time period called the Jubilee when a man’s possessions would be returned to him. This fiftieth year is sacred – it is a time of freedom and of celebration when everyone will […]

Gossip

October 22, 2022June 29, 2025 by Laura Lee

Gossip (Part 1)(Copyright) by Rich Traver (Clifton, Colorado) Was listening to a taped sermon by a UCG minister this week. In it, he made the point that we ought not be sending around internet derived information (aka ‘alternate news’) in that it could be the equivalent of “Gossip”! I took it as a fair admonition at first consideration, being that I do much of that kind of thing myself. Second thoughts on that: While there may be a measure of misinformation in some alternate reports, we have the opposing consideration to factor into our information sharing. We KNOW much (most) of […]
