Power of Life and Death
(Copyright 2010) by Jamie McNab (England) You will recollect that we said before that our words, our tongues, and our ability to speak and communicate, really is a gift. Unfortunately, of course, it can be abused, like any other natural force. You could take electricity for example: you can light your house, cook your meals and so on, but wrongly used, electricity can burn and kill. We said in our first discussion, that we should “Guard our Lips”. Last week we entitled the message: “Choose Words of Life”. Today, we are heading this message as: “Power of Life and Death”. Proverbs […]
Choose Words of Life
(Copyright 2010) by Jamie McNab (England) Right brethren, we are continuing with a study that we began last week. We were talking about our words, about our language and about our ability to communicate through words. And we said last week that if you think about it, animals sort of communicate a little bit, they bark, cheep or chirp, or do similar things. But human beings are very much different. We have words with which we can convey ideas and thoughts. That is very much a characteristic of our God, of our Father and of Jesus Christ our Lord. And […]
A Matter of Life and Death
(Copyright 04-05-2025) by Warren Zehrung (Little Rock, Arkansas) Day of Atonement 2024(Sermon Notes) by Warren Zehrung October 12, 2024Yom Kippur We have come to the tenth day of Tishri, the seventh month of the Sacred Hebrew calendar. Today is the Day of Atonement. The Day of Atonement remains an enigmatic concept for the Church of God: Fasting on a Feast day is mysterious, and the emphasis on no work, is difficult to interpret and understand. Today, we’ll bring a little clarity to the matter. The Day of Atonement is a wonderful day in the Plan of God picturing the reconciliation of God […]
The Crown of Life
(Copyright) by Martin G. Collins (Charlotte, North Carolina) Some call the Tower of London “the Cradle of the English Race.” It is well named, for it was there that England had her beginnings as a nation. It is the oldest palace, fortress, and prison in Europe, dating back 900 years. Housed within its walls in the underground Jewel House beneath the Waterloo Barracks are the Crown Jewels of England. The incomparable collection of crowns, scepters, orbs, swords, and other regalia is displayed in a specially designed vault and display case surrounded by heavy security. As one walks into the vault, […]
The Book(s) of Life
(Copyright) by Nathaniel Burson (Big Sandy, Texas) This is another one of those questions that explains the inner workings of reality and salvation on a level that is quite astounding. We tend to take the things we see in scripture at face value and assign anything we don’t understand to “the awesome power of God”. But the more you study the Bible and get to know the mind of God, you see that each of these things functions according to a set of laws; and each of them follows a pattern, and an exact scientific process. Matthew 10:29 Are not two […]
Ask for the old ways, wherein is life
(Copyright) by Curtis Dahlgren (Stephenson, Michigan) “The past will not tell us what we ought to do, but what we ought to avoid.” – Jose Ortega y Gasset “A fool contributes nothing worth hearing and takes offense at everything” … “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all” … “It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.” – Aristotle “In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise […]

Obedience is Life
by Alfio La Spina (Sooke British Columbia, Canada) Obedience to the Word of God starts in the heart. The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord. Proverbs 1:7 (NIV) 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 9:10 (NIV) 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Psalms 111:10 (NIV) 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise. The fear of our Lord and God […]
On the Lighter Side of Life
Sent by Ted & Joanne Saunders (Renton, Washington) Bilingual BarnyardA flock of sheep are romping in a field, happily going “baa baa” to each other and discussing life as usual when suddenly they hear a “moo mooooooooooooooooooo!” They look around and see only sheep. They carry on playing as before. “Moooooo mooooooooooo mmmoo!” One sheep can hear it all too clearly next to him. He shuffles away a little from his friend, a worried look on his face, and then asks, “Georgie, why are you mooing? You’re a sheep. Sheep go “baa!” His friend replies gladly, “I know. I thought I would learn […]
Living Life Today
by John Jewell (London, England) Poet John Masefield wrote “All I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by.” Oh, if only mankind as a whole could find such satisfaction and happiness so simply stated. Today, however, in nation after nation of the western world, there can be few who find any satisfaction with their life and/or lot. At this point why not carry out the simple test of asking ones-self the question “am I honestly really satisfied and happy with my life in today’s world” or what’s life all about anyway!” Many people in the western […]
