My Father Taught Me that God is Really Real without Saying a Word

(Copyright 06-14-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas)   When I was 11 years old my family was living on a farm near Tipton, Oklahoma where my dad worked as a farmhand making .50 cents per hour.  Our family attended the Assembly of God church seven miles away in Tipton, and we were there every Sunday morning, Sunday night and Wednesday night. Becoming dissatisfied with his situation on the farm, Dad began making plans to move to Dallas, Texas and work as a bricklayer. But as he made his plans to move, he heard the Holy Spirit speak in his heart, “What about pastoring […]

How are God the Father and Yeshua One?

(Copyright 2008) by Bryan T. Huie (Dennard, Arkansas)  To most Jews, including many Messianics, the nature of God is defined in the Shema: DEUTERONOMY 6:4 ” Hear [shema’], O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one [echad]! (NKJV) Messianics apply this understanding of the oneness of God to a confusing statement by Yeshua recorded in the tenth chapter of John’s Gospel. In response to the Jews’ request to confirm that he was the prophesied Messiah (John 10:24), Yeshua stated: JOHN 10:30 “I and the Father are one [hen].” (NASU) What did he mean by this declaration? Was Yeshua here applying the Shema […]

Father Knows Best

(Copyright) by Mike Ford (Oxford, Georgia)   Remember the 1950s television sitcom Father Knows Best? Robert Young starred as the mythical father of the Anderson family. His wife was a homemaker and mother to their three children. Each week an opportunity arose for “Dad” to solve a problem. What happened to those wonderfully innocent and uplifting days? But what kind of fathers are portrayed on television today? Homer Simpson, simple-minded buffoon, or the jovial Dr. Cliff Huxtable, dominated by his wife and manipulated by his children. Or worst of all, the male-chauvinist, crude, and perverse Al Bundy. What has happened to fathers […]

Heavenly Father

by Richard Frates (Easley, South Carolina)  Heavenly Father, the Tower of Babel is standing high; rising to the heavens; the world nations are united against you. Terrorists kill, men women and children in the UK, and the explosion is heard in New York and Moscow, Genesis 11:4-8. Heavenly father, we citizens of the world no longer need you. Leaders of the nations can communicate in a moment. Our scientists, educators and engineers can quickly devise a plan or scheme to solve all the world’s problems. Heavenly Father, go away; we, the world nations will make our own gods and give them artificial […]

Roles of Father, Son and Holy Spirit

by Ray Daly (Lincoln, North Dakota)              Mathew 28:19. “Go you therefore and teach all nations.  BAPTIZING them in the NAME of the Father, and [the NAME of] the Son, and [the NAME of] the Holy Spirit!”            Obviously, I applied the word “Name” in brackets, when referring to the latter two.  Simply, because most of mainstream Christianity believes that that is the main “topic” of the above.  The names of the “three” beings in the God head.  It seems that, even though they believe the three mentioned are three individuals, they NEVER tell us what said names are.            While the […]
