Be Kind
(Copyright 07-16-2025) by James C. Stoertz (Charlotte, North Carolina) “And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:32) We are encouraged to be many things in this world: Be smart. Be observant. Be ruthless. Be empathetic. Be all you can be. I recently had a discussion with one of my children regarding a mantra I used when they were children, long before God called me into His church. It was “Be nice!” I leveled this instruction at the kids at all times, but especially when they were squabbling. I would tell them, “Be nice! And […]
How to be an Anchor in the Storm
(Copyright 2017) by Brenda Branson (Hanson, Kentucky) One of the reasons a battered woman is finally able to leave an abusive relationship is because she has someone who acts as her anchor in the storm. “For a battered woman, having an anchor can mean the difference between helplessness and empowerment to work toward a solution,” says Susan Brewster, author of “To be an Anchor in the Storm.” She compares the role of friends and relatives of battered women to the anchor of a ship. The anchor: * is made of the strongest steel which is able to withstand corrosive elements around it* […]
Can Pain Be Eliminated?
(Copyright 2023) by James Steinle (Swanville, Minnesota) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2vT-_GE0BA 1 hour 24 min. Yes, its long, but you are going to REALLY learn about health and how to improve it (5-10 minutes for arthritis for one lady). This is an interview of Clint Ober who founded the research on the health effects of ‘grounding’ and why it works to eliminate the source of aliments not just the effects. He tells of his experience helping himself with troubles caused from an active sports life when younger (he is 78 now), and others with arthritis, MS, PMS, stress, sleeplessness, autism, etc. (It’s hard […]
Blessed to be a blessing
(Copyright 2017) by Brenda Branson (Hanson, Kentucky) Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. Genesis 12:1-2 ESVMy friend, Todd Agnew, wrote a short devotional several years ago that has given me a different perspective on blessings from God. “God chose Abram to start the nation of Israel. He sent him away from his family, away from all that he […]
Do Not Be Afraid!
(Copyright 2022) by Ted E. Bowling (Charlotte, North Carolina) “Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.” (Matthew 10:29) Not long ago, at the end of a day of inspections in eastern Georgia, I stopped to fuel my vehicle. As I stood pumping the gas, a sparrow landed about five feet away and began pecking on some crumbs, seemingly unafraid of me. I watched him for several minutes until he flew off out of sight. I could not help thinking of Jesus’ words in Matthew and Luke informing […]

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.
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 […]
The Mainstream Media Needs to be Put Out of its Misery
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) The American people have access to an exorbitant amount of information, yet most are unaware of what’s taking place in the country and the world. The majority of Americans are either mentally malnourished when it comes to being well informed or mentally overweight as a result of filling their minds with unfiltered junk. People willfully choose what they believe is worth knowing. Most Americans are making the wrong choices. What takes place on reality shows, in sports, music, movies, weekly sitcoms and the latest gossip about the lives of celebrities is the focus of far […]

Why a Revived Christianity Will Be American Marxism’s Worst Nightmare
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) In his blockbuster new book, American Marxism, Mark Levin warns that Marxist ideology has now permeated every facet of American society, including the educational systems, the media, corporations, Hollywood, and politics. He obviously touched on a deep, felt need for the book shot to #1 on Amazon before it was ever released. That America is deeply concerned was confirmed in a recent NPR poll in which people were asked if they thought that American democracy was “alive and well” or “under threat.” Sixty-seven percent of the respondents said they believed American democracy to be “under […]
Strive to Be a Perfect Servant of the Most High
by Alfio La Spina (Sooke British Columbia, Canada) Matthew 20:25-28 (ESV) 25 But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 26 It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, 28 even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Those of us that have […]
Can There Be False Prophets… Today?
by Royce Mitchell, Jr. (Manvel, Texas) Virtually from the beginning of the existence of man there have been those trying to deceive man with false doctrines and teachings. We are even told that one of the last enemies of God to be put away is the False Prophet. Whoever these people are, we need to be aware of their existence and to work steadfastly to keep our minds free from their false teachings. This author hopes to guide the brethren in their quest to be one of those who it is impossible to deceive in the end. We first need to […]
Must Women Be Silent in the Church?
by Jeffrey Caldwell (Redwood City, California) Ralph Woodrow, an evangelical Christian minister, is a correspondent of mine. He is a bit famous for formerly supporting Alexander Hislop’s thesis in The Two Babylon’s, but then repudiating his support in a follow-up book when he was challenged to check into the quality of Hislop’s scholarship, which he found quite lacking. He’s taken a lot of heat for that, but I believe he is being quite honest about it. He has written many short books which are edifying biblical studies and his latest is: Must Women Be Silent in the Church? a biblical study […]
Be Strong and of Good Courage
by Tommy S. West (Wake Forest, North Carolina) Recently, I was given the honor and privilege to present a short message to a small local church group in Garner, NC — The Sabbath Church of God — on the important subject of courage. Yesterday, I presented it to a group in Clinton, NC — The Clinton Church of God. Courage is an attribute that God demands of us as we trek the road of life. It is NOT limited to Christians only — it is a universal trait and is a characteristic of every successful person. Please allow me […]
Do You DARE to Be Bold?
by Nathaniel Burson (Big Sandy, Texas) Do you? Can you truly go BOLDLY before the throne of grace? Without fear? This is a time to be honest with yourself. Aren’t there usually some nagging concerns in the back of your mind when you pray? What if God were here now… in front of you… Would you be nervous? Would you be concerned that he might be mad at you? If so, then you are not ABLE to be BOLD, and you must ask yourself… WHY. You are scared in the presence of God because you KNOW you do not measure […]
