Perfect or in Part
by William P. Goff (Myrtle Beach, South Carolina) Scriptures from the KJV In Mathew chapter five, we find one of the most loved portions of the Gospel, the “Beatitudes” this teaching by Christ forms the beginning of what’s become known as the “Sermon on the Mount.” I would like to start my message today, by reading those Beatitudes, because it will begin to set the stage for what I want to address today. (I am going to read verses 1-12 of Matthew chapter 5, and then kind of skip through and comment on the rest of that particular chapter.) Mathew 5:1 “And seeing the […]
A Message Concerning the Canaanite Spirit that will Lead to the Worship of the Beast or Man of Sin
(Copyright) by Steven Blackledge (Sonora, California) I happened to come across a message given by Daniel Joseph on WorldNetDaily concerning Jude… More specifically, the passage that pertains to Cain, and how this spiritual state of being is leading many to a false sense of understanding where they actually stand with God due to embracing sin, and the practice thereof as being acceptable to God as long as they believe in Jesus… I have always believed that it was Cain’s spiritual state, and the lack of faith HE had in the WAY of GOD that was the core reason that this […]
God’s Most Excellent Way of Truth…
(Copyright) by Steven Blackledge (Sonora, California) To Be Set Free by Applying HIS WAY through HIS SON… Hope your sabbath has been a refreshing, and joyous one so far… Hard to believe a week has come, and gone as the Passover season once again is but a memory… Hope yours was spiritually edifying… I wrote what was below yesterday to help those who are still under the impression that God’s holy days were no longer necessary to be maintained… It is so easy to gravitate towards beliefs that are contrary to God’s Word… We are all born with a rebellious spirit […]
The World’s Buckling Supply Chain
(Copyright) by Joseph B. Baity (Charlotte, North Carolina) A convergence of adverse and unexpected events has resulted in a global supply chain crisis of enormous proportions, threatening to derail worldwide economic activity in virtually every financial sector, with social and political stability stumbling in its wake. The trouble began with the global lockdown—beginning in the spring of 2020—in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Consumer demand for goods and services tanked rapidly, as many workers were laid off or forced to work from home. At the same time, students were required to school at home via the Internet, and everyone had to […]
A Teenager’s Perspective
(Copyright) by Brenda Branson (Hanson, Kentucky) A Teenager’s Perspective on Living in an Abusive Home “All children deserve a father they aren’t afraid of. All women deserve a partner they can trust. All abusive men deserve a chance to break the cycle of abuse they learned from their fathers.” This is the dream of most families who are struggling with dysfunctional and abusive relationships. I agree with this dream. I grew up in a home where my father was abusive. If this dream had been a reality when my family needed it, perhaps I would have a father I could respect, and […]
National Slavery: TRUMP, Jumps in the Swamp
by Richard Frates (Easley, South Carolina) TRUMP, and Republicans, giving tax dollars to Insurance companies in the form of tax credits to purchase insurance will guarantee, insurers, doctors and hospitals will charge more for services. And it will make Americans a type of bond servant to insurers; making it impossible for most Americans to pay for medical services, as needed, themselves. That is a form of slavery, buying slaves, for Insurers, with their own tax dollars. Over generous to employee’s insurance, by unions, especially government employee unions federal and state and large employers; is – WHY – medical cost is so […]
HEY JUDE (the real one) and the sermon notes of Enoch, seventh from Adam
(Copyright) by Curtis Dahlgren (Stephenson, Michigan) “According to the Oxford English Dictionary’s first definition, a ‘skeptic’ is ‘one who holds that there are no adequate grounds for certainty as to the truth of any proposition whatever.’” – Michael Shermer of Skeptic magazine, quoted in Time magazine, last spring “If Truth were dead, how would you know THAT?” – C. Dahlgren, 2017 THINGS JUST GET CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER (to coin a phrase). “Claim” is a favorite media word. If traditionalists “claim” something, it must be fake news, but if “Progressives” write something, the media and pop culture do not treat THEM skeptically. Shermer cites The Miracle Myth, a 2016 book by a University […]
The 2-State – Non-Solution – in Israel
by Richard Frates (Easley, South Carolina) Palestinians seeking their own state in the West Bank and Gaza in Israel, with the help of the United Nations, is just an attack on Israel. And the so called “peace process” by the world nations, is an attack on Israel. A 2-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians is insane, unless the following conditions exist. When conditions and the attitudes of Muslims and Palestinians, change to the point that they obey God and “love their neighbors as themselves” Matthew 22:37-40; and Jewish families can live safely in Gaza and the Palestinian controlled areas of […]
Those Born 1920-1979
Sent by Robert Chisolm (Email) READ TO THE BOTTOM FOR QUOTE OF THE MONTH BY JAY LENO. IF YOU DON’T READ ANYTHING ELSE—VERY WELL STATED TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the 1930’s, 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s!! First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn’t get tested for diabetes. Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints. We had no child proof lids on medicine bottles, […]

The Spices and the Visits to Christ’s Tomb
by B. L. Cocherell (Nevada) There has been much confusion about the sequence of events surrounding preparation of spices and the visits to Christ’s tomb, because there seems to be no chronological order to the events as recorded in the gospel accounts. This study provides a plausible sequence of events by reviewing them in four segments: The time frame, Jesus’ burial, the women’s spice preparation, and the visits to the tomb. The Time FrameLong before the beginning of the Sabbath, Pilate gave his permission for Jesus to be crucified (Mk.15:13‑20). Everyone knew that, unless there were divine intervention, Jesus would die […]
How are we in the image of God?
(Copyright) by Bill Hillebrenner (Matthews, North Carolina) What does it mean that humans are made in the image of God? Romans 1 states that we should look at the things God made to understand the Godhead. The invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead . . . (Romans 1:20). God Made Kinds!Genesis 1 tells us that God made kinds. And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after […]
My Trip to Kokomo
(Copyright) by Wayne Schatzle (West Chester, Ohio) In September we had the privilege to attend our first Vietnam Veteran’s Welcome Home Reunion. It has been held in Kokomo, Indiana, for 24 years. I heard about it last year and decided to go. Those types of festivals have gotten a bad name due to some rowdiness and drinking, and some people view Vietnam vets poorly anyway. It was very reminiscent of Woodstock, and it was as if everyone there knew each other. I myself am a Vietnam veteran, and like most of the rest of my fellow vets I have a […]

The Real Reason for the Unfolding Tragedy in Afghanistan
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma) Young girls await in fear the arrival of the Taliban in Kabul I feel heartsick about the tragedy unfolding in Afghanistan, particularly for the women and girls who are about to be subjected to the most brutal forms of Sharia Law. It is a travesty that should never have happened. While many will be debating the logistical decisions made by the president and others that led to this catastrophe, I want to discuss the moral and theological decisions in America over the past 60 years that I believe have played a primary role in this disaster.

God’s Accuracy
Sent by Michael R. Zaeske (Kalamazoo, Michigan) God’s accuracy may be observed in the hatching of eggs. For example: -the eggs of the potato bug hatch in 7 days;-those of the canary in 14 days;-those of the barnyard hen in 21 days;-The eggs of ducks and geese hatch in 28 days;-those of the mallard in 35 days;-The eggs of the parrot and the ostrich hatch in 42 days.(Notice, they are all divisible by seven, the number of days in a week!) God’s wisdom is seen in the making of an elephant… The four legs of this great beast all bend forward […]
“They Shall Not Hurt Nor Destroy…”
by Arlan Weight (Bismarck, North Dakota) The words shown above are taken from the text of Isaiah 65:25. It ends the section of scripture that describes a wonderful time in the future when there will be no more trouble or sorrow. There will be no destruction as we have recently seen in New York City. These are the words that came to my mind as I watched the terrible mass destruction taking place September 11, 2001. It was so awful, so unbelievably heinous! How could any human being or group of human beings do what they did to other […]
Could All of the Animals Fit on Noah’s Ark?
(Copyright) by David Rives (Lewisburg, Tennessee) Many skeptics of the Bible, and even fellow Christians, have wondered how Noah could’ve fit all the millions of modern animal species on the Ark. He would have needed a fleet of cargo ships! But Noah didn’t take all the species on the Ark! Noah was only commanded to take every kind of land-dwelling, air-breathing animal on the Ark. while we always picture two giraffes and then two cows, and so on, the Bible actually says that Noah took seven pairs of some. But isn’t this making the problem worse? Well, let’s look more closely. Noah didn’t […]
How to Recognize and Overcome the Spirit of the Antichrist
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma) And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming and is already in the world. I John 4:3b In II Thessalonians 2:1-4 Paul speaks of an evil, end-time world ruler whom he calls “the man of sin.” This individual whom Paul says, opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, is obviously the same person that John refers to as “the Beast” in Revelation 13 and “the Antichrist” in I John 2:18; 4:3. Both the “man of sin” and “the Beast” are described as putting themselves in the place of God […]
“GAMES PEOPLE PLAY” and why the English capitalized the word “I”

Contrary to what you may have been told in college, no one has done more to fight the oppression of the individual. COINCIDENCE? I think NOT! The German word for […]
Lawmakers Above the Law
by Richard Frates (Easley, South Carolina) Government is the problem; imposing laws that only apply to others and not themselves. Matthew 23:4 – They put heavy loads on men’s shoulders but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them. President Trump needs to rescind the regulations that exempt congress and staff from the effect of Obama Care regulations; that they imposed on others. And he needs to sign another executive order requiring congress to be subject to all laws that apply to all Americans. And, that special health care insurance for them would be against the […]
Is the Biden White House too Proud to Pray? Abraham Lincoln would say “Yes”
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma) Unless I have missed something, no call for prayer has come from the Biden White House during this time of national and international crisis. Even after 12 Marines were killed today in a terrorist attack in the midst of the turmoil in Afghanistan, still no call for prayer. Why not? Such an official prayer call from the White House would not be unusual. It would, in fact, be the American thing to do. From the very beginning of our Republic, presidents from George Washington to Donald Trump have called on the nation to pray in times […]
Insight from Paul
by James McBride (United Kingdom) The apostle Paul’s letters shed a bright light on our walk with God The apostle cautions the brethren about getting above themselves: don’t rate yourself too highly, he writes to the Romans (e.g., Romans 12:.30). As the center of the Empire, Rome and its citizens exalted themselves over the ‘barbarians’ they had conquered. It’s a lesson for all of us and applies whether or not we serve in a church office, and it echoes the guidance of Jesus: ‘…you know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and […]
The Ominous Threat to America’s Power Grid
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) Never has the United States faced so many problems as it is now. It has become painfully obvious that solutions are as elusive as holding the wind in the palms of a person’s hands. The threat to America’s infrastructure is something very few Americans are considering due to concerns about inflation, supply chain disruptions, COVID, the crisis in education, and a president who is completely out of touch due to poor leadership. In a report released by the government, the Department of Homeland Security states that radical extremists plan to attack the nation’s power grid. It […]
Another Typical Day On Wall Street

Pentecost the Last Day
by William P. Goff (Myrtle Beach, South Carolina) The Feast of Pentecost is the “Last Day” of the count to Fifty, and it is a very important day for the Church of God. Pentecost, Day Fifty is our day; it’s the day that our Lord says He will “Raise Us Up”. The day of Pentecost is referred to in the Scriptures as: “The Feast of Weeks” and “The Feast of First Fruits.” But Scripture also refers to the Feast of Pentecost as “The Last Day.” It is rarely referred to any more as “The Last Day.” But in earlier times, including pre N.T. Church times, God’s people were well acquainted […]
FOLLY and The Cure
by Richard Frates (Easley, South Carolina) Folly Honored ends in Madness. Proverbs 26:1 “Like snow in summer or rain in harvest: Honor is not fitting for a fool.” Proverbs 26:8 “Like tying a stone in a sling is the giving of honor to a fool.” How true that is: America’s Congress, UK’s Parliament and Judges are giving honor to the – folly of fools – and planting folly in education, entertainment, government agencies, religion, and the world. The stone is the Folly: Media is the Sling! Principle: “Do Not hate your neighbor in your heart. Rebuke your neighbor frankly and […]
Are Polygamous Marriages Authorized by Scripture?
(Copyright) by Royce Mitchell, Jr. (Manvel, Texas) There are those within the Christian community who claim that polygamous marriages are authorized — even commanded — by scripture. But does scripture really support that assertion? Or has scripture been misapplied to allow men to do what they want to do with women? The truth is important because the spiritual health of our sisters, and our brothers, is at stake. To understand the truth, we have to go back to the beginning—to the Garden of Eden. In the Garden we find that God paraded the animals two by two in front of Adam […]
America’s Reprehensible and Irresponsible Spending Addiction
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) If Americans were asked to give their opinions of the state of the economy, how each person has been impacted by the COVID-19 crisis would in all likelihood determine what answers are given. Economic problems plaguing the country are not being reported truthfully. The mainstream media is not reporting the financial hardship Americans are facing. The loss of jobs, homes, vehicles, and other personal assets are barely given lip service. The number of permanent business closures nationwide is being completely overlooked. Why? It is a political hot potato that must be lied about and avoided […]

How the Resurrection Changed Everything for Women
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma) During the forty days between His resurrection and ascension, Jesus appeared to different disciples at various times, and on one occasion appeared to over five hundred of His followers at once (I Cor. 15:3-8). The gospel writers, however, are very clear in noting that it was Mary Magdalene to whom He appeared first after His resurrection. The importance which the Gospel writers attach to this fact indicate that it was no accidental occurrence. Jesus knew that actions speak louder than words and He purposely appeared first to Mary in order to make a clear statement about His […]
Forty-three kings and then came disaster!
(Copyright) by Curtis Dahlgren (Stephenson, Michigan) “We wrestle against wicked spirits in high places.” ‘ Saul of Tarsus My subject today is the 43 kings of Israel and Israel-Judah, the big question being: “Does history repeat itself?” SAUL ruled Israel for 40 years. David ruled for 40 years. Solomon for 40 years. Then the nation was divided literally in two. David’s line came to rule ‘ loosely speaking ‘ the southern kingdom of Judah. The northern ten tribes seceded ‘ over taxation ‘ and formed the House of Israel. Their first king set up not one but two golden calves. No matter the […]
Human Sacrifice in Scripture
(Copyright) by David Sielaff (Portland, Oregon) Iron Sharpening IronIn regard to: Human Sacrifice in ScriptureArticle by David SielaffComments by Laura Lee (Bismarck, North Dakota) This was an excellent article in regard to Human Sacrifice in Scripture, however I did find a few items written within the article which I would consider to be errors. On page 13 of Special Edition #66, the author states: “God the Father sacrificed His son Jesus, the Son of God and the first creation of God.” Jesus was not a created being: Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: Col […]

George Washington’s Answer for America’s Descent into Chaos and Crime
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma) Major American cities are descending into chaos with murders, thefts, assaults, and car jackings skyrocketing. This crime wave is a result, first of all, of a cultural rejection of God’s moral law. Secondly, it is a result of outrageous, lawless policies that are being implemented by leftwing mayors and district attorneys. These policies, which coddle criminals and demonize the police, are based on the “progressive” liberal philosophy that human nature is essentially good and it is evil institutions that are the cause of the problems. In this worldview, the criminals are by nature good people […]
America’s Mental State is in Need of Major Changes
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) If ever there has been a period of time in America’s short history that defies the words that are required to describe what the nation has become, it is now. Never has there been a time in which the mental state of the nation’s leaders and the American people have every reason to be questioned. Common sense has been replaced by total nonsense in the way far too many American’s reason and justify what they say and do. The mental state of the nation is alarming and equivalent to performing a dangerous balancing act on […]
Why Doesn’t She Just Leave?
Brenda Branson (Hanson, Kentucky) Copyright © 2004 The answer given in the 1920s to this question was that battered women were of low intelligence or mentally retarded. In the ’40s it was determined that women did not leave because they were masochistic.By the ’70s the experts claimed that a woman stayed in an abusive situation because she was isolated from friends and neighbors, had few economic resources, and was terrorized into a state of “learned helplessness” by repeated abuse.Experts spent time, energy, and government grants studying women and their problems, and by asking “why do women stay” they managed to […]

False Doctrines – “Vain” Worship: Does Jesus Christ Really Know You?
by Richard Frates (Easley, South Carolina) Did Gentile believers in the early Christian church, at the time of the apostles, worship on Sunday or observe Christmas and Easter? Scripture demonstrates that Gentile believers observed the same scriptural doctrines as the Jewish believers. Paul taught Gentiles: “Follow my example as I follow the example of Christ” and he praised them for “holding to the teachings” 1 Corinthians 11:1-2. Christian churches today, are foreign to Jesus Christ and the early church. I fear that Matthew 7:21-23 will apply to most of them on the Day of Judgment, “I never knew you: depart […]

The man exclaims “I am so happy to be forgiven and can now steal all I want because of what the kind stranger did for me”. Everyone is now thinking of […]
Elijah’s Chariot
(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) “What goes up must come down.” So goes the old saying. If Elijah went up in a Chariot of Fire, then where did he come down? Have you ever thought about it? Where did Elijah land at the end of his famous chariot ride? Many believe that he landed in heaven and is there today. Yet Jesus stated that no one has ascended to heaven except Himself (See John 3:13). This would include Elijah. The Chariot of Fire did take Elijah to heaven, but it had to be the first heaven where birds fly and […]

Discriminate
by Richard Frates (Easley, South Carolina) Or the Devil will, Control your Mind. The GOSPEL of SATAN Is: Do Not Discriminate; close the eyes of your heart to evil. That evil message is pounded into, young hearts and minds by: Educators, Media, government, and some religious leaders. “The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.” Giving honor and respect to homosexuals, and those who praise them out of fear of being criticized is the beginning of madness. The “Do Not Discriminate” message, lavishes praise, victim status, and honor on what God proclaims as evil; and condemns those who believe […]
America’s Anti-Slavery Founding Documents
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma) In 18th century Colonial America, a great spiritual awakening ignited an anti-slavery movement that impacted millions, including America’s Founding Fathers. This resulted in America’s founding documents being formulated as statements against slavery. This anti-slavery characteristic of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution was understood by America’s founding generation. This has also been understood by abolitionists and Civil Rights icons such as Frederick Douglas, Abraham Lincoln, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King, for example, in his “I Have a Dream Speech,” exhorted America, not to dispense with her founding documents, but instead, to live up […]
America the Angry and Lawless
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) If ever there has been an exercise in futility, it is the attempt to convince people to put differences aside and be united not divided. It was the theme of President Biden’s inaugural address, a speech equivalent to an unrealistic wish list. There could not have been a greater degree of meaningless platitudes spoken. The words were completely out of touch with reality, yet it should not have come as a surprise since leaders in Washington live in a bubble enveloped by a reality of their own making. The nation’s leaders and the American people […]
Lawless Federal Judges

The rulings of federal and some state judges today, render our constitution, irrelevant and unconstitutional. The attitude of most federal judges is: Why do you need law or constitution in America; when I have been given the authority to impose, my opinions, and call it the law? And congress dare not question or overrule my opinions. America, your powerful rulers, Barak Obama and Donald Trump bow down to the – phantom unseen source – of my inspiration; by confessing “Same sex marriage is settled law.” We […]
Spiritual Blindness
(Part One): The God of this World(Copyright) by David C. Grabbe (Charlotte, North Carolina) God created human beings in His own image (Genesis 1:26). While our bodies physically resemble the descriptions of God given in Scripture, His greater purpose is to form His character image in us. However, human nature leans toward creating God in its own image. Depending on background and experience, people will identify with some of God’s attributes and actions while other aspects of His nature may seem foreign to them. Some who grew up in an environment where God’s judgment was overemphasized may have difficulty accepting God’s love for them, […]
