Any Church Is Better Than No Church
by Nathaniel Burson (Big Sandy, Texas) “But… you’ve GOT to go to church somewhere!” Everyone in the world, regardless of their religion, knows without question that the one thing most important in life is to go to church. This is the one thing that all religions agree upon; going to church, synagogue, temple, or mosque is the fundamental sign of a believer. Sure, they all disagree on which day, what time, how long, and what to do when you get there… but as long as you GO, the rest doesn’t matter much. Most people don’t even care what church you go to – but you […]
O’Biden Care: No Voice, No Choice, No Rejoicing
(Copyright) by Curtis Dahlgren (Stephenson, Michigan) “Use your freedom to put to silence the foolishness of ignorant people (and the over-educated).” – Peter (paraphrased) THAT DOESN’T SOUND LIKE a very “Christian” thing to do, but the apostle Peter wasn’t going woke and advocating censorship. He was advocating living a blameless life and being prepared to give a good answer if asked to explain your faith (the perfect squelch). Peter was addressing the “scattered tribes” in Asia Minor where people weren’t under the Roman boot as much as in the Holy Land. The apostle Paul was free to say about anything he wanted […]
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 […]
Let No One Deceive You
by Richard T. Ritenbaugh (Charlotte, North Carolina) As Daniel 12:4 predicts, we live in a time of increasing knowledge. Data flows constantly around the globe, facilitated by communications satellites, the Internet, television and radio, newspapers and magazines, telephones, pagers, and a host of other means and methods. This rapid—indeed, almost instantaneous—flow of information makes possible the doubling of man’s knowledge in just a few years rather than the decades it used to take. Having such a sea of information available at the touch of a key or the click of a mouse makes some people uneasy. They may like being able to get […]
Take Heed That No Man Deceive You
by Garry D. Pifer (Bloomington, Illinois) Jesus’ disciples came to Him on the mount of Olives and asked Him what would be the sign of His coming and of the end of the world. His response, known as the Olivet prophecy, is found in Matthew 24 and Mark 13. It is interesting to note His first statement, as recorded in verses 4 and 5 of Matthew 24. He instructed them, and us, to “take heed that no man deceive you.” He continued by saying “many shall come” and “shall deceive many.” They would be able to do that by […]
No Erosion Between Rock Layers!
(Copyright) by David Rives (Tennessee) You’ve probably heard the conventional story of how the rock layers formed. The most popular story is that rock layers form slowly over millions of years by the same geologic processes we see operating today. Weathering and erosion then produced hills, valleys, and the other topographical features we see today. But a quick trip into the Grand Canyon, perhaps the most spectacular place to view rock layers, shows this narrative can’t be right. If this old-age view is indeed a correct interpretation of the evidence, we’d expect to see weathering and erosion between rock layers. After […]
