Valentine’s Day and Real Love

(Copyright 02-12-2025) by Staff (Charlotte, North Carolina)   How can we say, “I love you”? Let me count the ways! On their wedding anniversary, a husband might give his wife a lovely card and a gift, some flowers, and maybe even a romantic dinner at an upscale restaurant. With them, he is saying, “I love you.” On Father’s Day, his wife might give him a card and a gift. Likewise, she is telling him that she loves him. But our society, urged on by the greeting card industry and other merchants, tries to tell us that it is not enough for family members to declare […]

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 […]

Day of – ATONEMENT – and Suffering

(Copyright) by Richard Frates (Easley, South Carolina)  Leviticus 23:26-27 “The Lord said to Moses – The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. Hold a sacred assembly and deny yourselves.” V28 “Do not work on that day, because it is the Day of Atonement, when atonement is made for you before the Lord your God.” The Day of Atonement is an invitation and command, calling believers to identify with the death and sufferings of Christ by fasting on this day. If not fasting, then how else would you “deny yourselves?” It is also a prophecy that […]

A Day of Lust, Not Love

(Copyright) by Martin G. Collins (Charlotte, North Carolina)   Our Savior Jesus Christ tells the woman at the well in Samaria, “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him” (John 4:23). As the first great commandment (Matthew 22:37-38) suggests, true worship of God and agape love are entwined. In flagrant contrast, most people in this world celebrate their holidays, not in spirit, truth, and love, but in fleshly practices, lies, and in the case of Saint Valentine’s Day, lust. Sexual immorality has always been the essential ingredient […]

No One Knows The Day

Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California)  Jesus Christ warned His followers to be watching for the signs of His return lest they be caught unprepared and miss out on the Resurrection.  Concerning the time of His return, notice: “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. … Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come.  But understand this: If the homeowner had known in which hour the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house […]

Thanksgiving Day – Pagan?

by Bradley RichardsonEdited and Revised by Avram Yehoshua (Flagstaff, Arizona)  Before getting into the actual history of Thanksgiving, which may shock some people, let’s look at two Christian arguments for keeping it: ‘I don’t keep Thanksgiving Day as a holy day. It’s a national day of giving thanks for what God has provided. It’s not a holy day.’ Isn’t this the response many Christians use for justifying Sunday, Easter, and Christmas? Many who observe those thoroughly pagan days do not keep them as pagan holy days but observe them none the less. The question is: Is it right to keep any of […]

Do You Desire the Day of the Lord?

by David C. Grabbe (Charlotte, North Carolina)  In II Peter 3:10, the apostle prophesies that “the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.” The Day of the Lord is a period of judgment just before Jesus Christ’s return when He will judge in favor of some but against many more. All but the most liberal mainstream Christians are looking forward to Christ’s return. However, many […]

His Last Day Ever

by Jonathan Gray (New Zealand) “Get out! Get ready!” said the email in my box last Thursday. “Prepare while you have the chance.” There was urgency in the tone. “Get out of the big cities” quickly. And away from coastlines? Well, warnings like this had been coming for about five years now. Some from possible crackpots, but others through reputable intelligence sources. Now the warnings were growing more urgent. Our world economy in danger of collapse angry nations planning to invade when the collapse occurs, trial runs in some cities for possible nuclear attacks, Planet X on its way toward Earth, to cause […]
