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 […]
Are You in the True Church?
by Wayne Schatzle (West Chester, Ohio) Are you in the True Church that was founded by Jesus Christ? That is an important question to ask when you consider that Jesus warned there were false brethren and false ministers. Paul had a chilling warning to the church at Corinth:” There are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ’s. Marvel not! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light, therefore it is no great thing if HIS ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness”. That scripture should be a wakeup call to all of us. Consult […]
The Word, The Spirit and The Church
by Robert Schmid (Westminster, California) Is there any doubt in anybody’s mind that this world, that we live in, is NOT the Kingdom of God? I do not believe so, for we all know that we live in a world that is not God’s world, but Satan’s world. Satan is the ruler of this age, and the evidence of his rule is all around us. When Christ was on this earth, He was the light in a dark world, but after a few short years He left, to be at the right hand of God the Father in heaven. What about the […]
Cleavage in the Church
by Philip T. Derstine (Puckett, Mississippi) “If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” We can speak up, so that our silence does not cause us to become partakers of other’s sins (Ezekiel 33, entire chapter). In this post-911 world, the sword has already come on the land with worse judgments to follow (verse 3), so when we see the connection between certain sins and an even more certain judgment, it is our job to warn the people being lulled to sleep by the complacency of Church leaders: The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him when he […]
Are there Still Elders in the Church?
by B. L. Cocherell (Nevada) Some believe and teach that the early church did not have an organized ministry which selected men who were given authority through the ritual of laying on of hands to supervise, teach, and govern congregations in an official leadership capacity. Some also believe and teach that men identified as elders in the early church were not spiritual leaders but were just older men with no official capacity. The logic used to attempt to validate these two beliefs, is that the Greek words translated in most English bibles as ordained are not a correct translation of these […]

Ending the Cycle of Abuse in the Church of God
by Laura Lee (Bismarck, North Dakota) If you saw an old woman being robbed, would you help her? If you knew a child was being sexually molested, would you report it to the proper authorities? If you knew a woman was being abused by her husband, would you help her? If you heard a man beating his wife, would you call the police? If you knew someone had just lost a loved one, would you be a friend? If you knew someone had a family member who was mentally ill, would you be a friend? If you saw, or […]
