Commencement address time again (but can the grads read?)

(Copyright 05-03-2025) by Curtis Dahlgren (Stephenson, Michigan)  “IT WILL COME AS NO SURPRISE to anyone who has listened to a commencement speech in the last ten years to know that a spirit of elitism has been fostered among students – and deliberately – by politicians. Not so well known is the fact that many professors pander this same line to their classes, telling them how smart, how well-educated they are. “The words of politician and professor combine to reinforce the usual late-teenage ignorance; students of that age already assert their self-superiority. In short, too many professors pander to their audience and […]

Creationism is Cool Again?

(Copyright 04-07-2025) by David Rives (Lewisburg, Tennessee)  Once upon a time, belief in Creation was labeled as fringe. No, it didn’t start that way. Creation was the bedrock of most famous scientists and their discoveries, but a few generations ago, slowly, but surely there was a march through many institutions that pinned Bible believing Christians as extremists and fanatics. Many school children were required to watch the 1960s classic film, “Inherit the Wind” in their classes. One of the well-known lines from this film was preached by Dick Tracy: “Fanaticism and ignorance is forever busy and needs feeding. And soon, your honor, with banners […]

Will Judah and Israel Go into Captivity Again?

(Copyright) by Rhoda Foust (Lehigh Acres, Florida)  What caused Judah and Israel to go into captivity? Was it not Yahweh’s command? De 4:19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, [even] all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which Yahweh thy Elohim hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven. Did they do just that? Jer 8:2 And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have […]

The Born Again Teaching

(Copyright) by Craig White (Australia)    The purpose of this paper is to take another look at the born again doctrine; not just from the angle Herbert W Armstrong presented the case, nor the mainstream Protestant approach allegorising the words of Christ. The concept is not merely an argument that the new birth occurs at the resurrection or upon conversion to Christianity. Rather, this paper takes a brief look at the history of the doctrine as espoused by Herbert W Armstrong which may be traced at least back to Sabbatarians and Russellites in the 19th century. Thus, I attempt to show […]

Born Again: The Kingdom of God!

by David Ben-Ariel (Toledo, Ohio) Jesus was sent to Earth to deliver a Message to mankind. A startling message from Outer Space – the third Heaven – from our CREATOR GOD. A correct understanding of what that REVELATION is – the one and only true Gospel – separates God’s Church from all others and exalts the pure religion above every false way! (John. 17:17). There is only one way to enter God’s Kingdom – and that is through Christ! (Acts 4:12). He is the Key that unlocks God’s Royal House, the Open Door to the Universe, the Gateway to Eternity, the […]
