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 […]

(Copyright 2022) by Alfio La Spina (Victoria British Columbia) Idolatry More Prevalent Than Many RealizeBrethren are you sure you are following Christ? Are you doers of the word or are you doers of what a man says from the pulpit? Do you quickly agree without checking the scriptures, all the teachings that comes from your church’s supposed headquarters? Are you told that you will only hear this here or that your salvation depends on being loyal to the church that you attend, and you believe it? Have you heard this one, we are the only ones that know where the place of safety is? If […]
Do you feel safer than you did in the 1950s?
(Copyright) by Curtis Dahlgren (Stephenson, Michigan) “We are safer now than we were in the fifties.” – lady on a Facebook thread DON’T START WITH ME, MA’AM. I can count about a dozen neighbors and brethren who have been murdered in recent decades, and I’ve lived in the country almost all my life. Jefferson County, Wisconsin didn’t have one homicide in the decade of the 50s. Didn’t you hear about 55 people getting shot in Chicago alone over Labor Day, ma’am? No one is saying that the olden days were perfect, but there are factual statistics on divorce, births out of wedlock, […]
Do We Need the Old Testament?
(Copyright) by John Reiss (Charlotte, North Carolina) “. . . the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” (II Timothy 3:15) An Amazon television series called The Man in the High Castle is an alternative history story based on the Axis powers prevailing in WWII. One of its most intriguing sub-plots centered on the Nazis seeking to erase the vanquished Americans’ history by rewriting it and obliterating any evidence of it. They even blew up the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor, replacing it with a different statue that fit their twisted ideology’s […]
Wonder of the Human Ear – How Do We Hear?
(Copyright) by David Rives (Lewisburg, Tennessee) Have you ever wondered how you can hear my voice, or any other sound? Our sensitive ears can pick up the faint whisper of the breeze, the buzz of a bee’s wings, or the patter of rain on a puddle. These same ears can withstand music blaring in our headphones, a baby screaming, or a car back-firing. How is this possible? Well, here’s the short, simplistic version of how your ears work. Sound travels on sound waves. These waves are collected by the outer ear and travel down the ear canal to the eardrum causing […]

Something to Do!
by James Steinle (Swanville, Minnesota) Something to Do!by James Steinle (Swanville, Minnesota) Every 5 weeks I can send in a ‘letter to the editor’ of our local Morrison County Newspaper which I have been doing for less than a year now. The letter must be limited to 200 words or less (not counting the title or signature). My hope is some other believers might be inclined to start doing the same thing in their local paper area. Below is an example of two for any interest or inspiration. Example 1:BEST GIFT TO GIVEWhat gift could we possibly give to someone who has […]

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 […]
Just What Do You Mean Apostasy?
by Robert E. Tigue (Des Plains, Illinois) An apostasy is not people leaving an organization…. but it is the organization leaving…. turning aside from…or abandoning Truth.

One who commits apostasy is an apostate, or one […]
Why Do You Observe Saturday?
(Copyright) by John Currier (Douglasville, Georgia) This is a fair question and one that is asked quite often of those of our faith. I mean, after all, isn’t Sunday the day that people are supposed to worship God? All the churches counting from the Roman Catholic Church right on through the Baptists, the Methodists, the Pentecostal churches, and even the Mormons and the Jehovah Witnesses observe Sunday as the day of worship. So, if all these churches say that Sunday is the day of worship, how can we claim otherwise? Well, the answer lies in your Bible. Is there […]

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?
