A Health Plan You Can Live With
(Copyright) by Wayne Schatzle (West Chester, Ohio) In an effort to avoid being cut open and having my heart worked on like so many of my friends of late I have decided to take some drastic measures in my life and be smart in what I shove into my mouth. I have read several books on the subject, and I am sharing with you some of the highlights from my studies. Listed are some of the changes I am trying to make in my life. If you are content in “living to eat” and don’t care if you wind up […]
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 […]
Only God can make America great now (and the jury is out on that)
(Copyright 2022) by Curtis Dahlgren (Stephenson, Michigan) “Even Trump himself has tried to warn his worshippers that the only savior of anyone and any country is God and NOT him! He has come straight out and told people this truth!” – posted on Facebook by a friend. FROM WHAT does this country most desperately need to be saved? I’m dipping into my Facebook scroll today. Here’s one example: “Their minds belong to us and they’ll learn what we want ’em to learn; forget the parents.” – a public school teacher. More examples, regarding “wokeness”: “People who cannot recognize a palpable absurdity are very much […]
Can you say Camarasaurus?
(Copyright 2023) by David Rives (Lewisburg, Tennessee) Dear friends, 2023 has been amazing so far. In February, I flew to Salt Lake City to get some firsthand experience with the different options that are available on state-of-the-art projection systems for the planetarium. After comparing projection and server systems, we feel we have made the best choice to fit the type of shows that we plan to have here. We are hoping to start the system install sometime in May. We know that the planetarium will make a great impact on our visitors as they learn about the Wonders of our Creator’s Universe. The […]
Can You Prove What You Believe?
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) Christianity today is in a state of complete confusion because the nation’s clergy and members of church after church are confused. What can only be described as one big giant mess is because deception has made huge inroads that has resulted in so much confusion. II Timothy 4:3- “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap on themselves teachers, having itching ears.” Churches across the country are not telling members what they need to hear, but what they want to hear. Christianity in America […]
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 […]
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 […]
Can We Prove that Christ Could or Could Not Sin?
by Rhoda Foust (Lehigh Acres, Florida) To begin with, can we agree that God made statements and promises and swore to those promises? Did these promises include Christ’s sinless sacrifice and resurrection? If we can agree to these things, then the only argument is whether we do or do not believe God’s words one hundred percent. To reach a conclusion we will look at and study some pertinent scriptures, asking the question, “Could God, in the flesh, have sinned? The symbol ^ will indicate my emphasis on a word or words. Acts 15:18 ^Known^ unto God are all his works ^from […]
Can You Know WHEN?
by Nathaniel Burson (Big Sandy, Texas) Can you unlock the secrets that tell you when the end of the world is coming? Does God have a set date in mind? Will he reveal it to man before the end comes? The Bible tells you, YES! Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. His father KNEW, nearly 2000 years ago, the DAY and even the HOUR of Christ’s second coming! Not even Christ knew this, when he was on earth. But later, after his resurrection, he said […]
