The Tragic State of National and World News
(Copyright 2024) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) Is it any wonder the majority of people are turned off and tuned out by today’s news? Meaningful and extensive in-depth coverage is nonexistent because America’s networks cherry pick what they consider is newsworthy. The mainstream media has gone lamestream by avoiding significant news that is taking place globally, because America is domesticated in its mindset of what is considered relevant. You can hardly blame anyone for not watching news that is mostly insignificant tabloid fluff. The way it is presented is accepted as the status quo, even though trivial, mundane, boring and […]
The First of the Unleaveneds
(Copyright 08-02-2022) by Rich Traver (Clifton, Colorado) A Poorly rendered expression found in Mark 14:12 creates a degree of Confusion among Believers. What day is Mark’s expression intending to identify? There are times in the New Testament, particularly as it involves the observance of such an important event as the Passover, when identifying an exact day can be especially important. Now, if there weren’t varying opinions as to when Passover ought to be observed, then perhaps which day, or days, being referred to in this Gospel narrative, wouldn’t pose the question that it does. Translational IssuesBut translators, being insufficiently familiar with the […]
The Human Foot – A Feat of Engineering
(Copyright 12-15-2022) by David Rives (Lewisburg, Tennessee) Did you know you were designed to run around barefoot? Genesis tells us that originally Adam and Eve were created naked. It wasn’t until after sin that clothes—and eventually shoes—came into being. But when we shed our shoes, we see that God’s design is the best. An incredible 25% of the bones in your body are found in your feet. These bones form three arches; the transverse, medial longitudinal, and lateral longitudinal arches found behind our toes and on the right and left sides of our feet. These arches beat the design of man-made […]
Miracle of One
(Copyright 04-28-2018) by Richard Frates (Easly, South Carolina) There will never be another you! That reality is why death is so fearful. There will never be another me or you. It is evident to all that the future guarantees we will all turn to dust and fade into darkness; the memory of you will be extinguished. But those who believe God and salvation through the Son of God, will always be remembered. Proverbs 14:32 “Even in death the righteous have a refuge.” Psalm 116:15 “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. The Miracle of One […]
The Leaven of 1 Corinthians 5
(Copyright 05-19-2025) by Gregory Diaz (Paterson, New Jersey) In Paul’s first letter to the Corinthian church, he addresses a type of fornication “not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife” (1 Cor 5:1). He tells them that, rather than mourning, they were “puffed up” and “glorying” over the man’s deed (verses 2 and 6). The seemingly clear and simple view is that the Corinthians, rather than judging him, were glorying in their tolerance of the man’s egregious sin. However, if we consider the message and example of Jesus, this non-judgmental treatment of a […]
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 […]
Vladimir Putin, The Antichrist, and the Kingdom of God
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming and is already in the world.I John 4:3b In II Thessalonians 2:1-4 Paul speaks of an evil, end-time world ruler whom he calls “the man of sin.” This individual whom Paul says, opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, is obviously the same person that John refers to as “the Beast” in Revelation 13 and “the Antichrist” in I John 2:18; 4:3. In I John 2:18, John says, You have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now there are many antichrists in the […]
‘The most brilliant thoughts of all time’

This is the final column for now in a series based on a book review of “The Most Brilliant Thoughts of All Time” by John M. Shanahan — who also created the “Hooked on Phonics” program.

Bear up, bear out, bear onwardThis mortal soul alone,To selfhood or oblivion,Incredibly thine own, As the foam heads are loosenedAnd blown along the sea,Or sink and merge foreverIn that which bids them be.

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 […]
The Startling Cluelessness of the Left-Wing Media
(Copyright 2024) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) It is startling that a professional journalist could be this clueless about America’s founding principles and documents. But during an interview on MSNBC, Heidi Przybyla, a journalist for Politico, slammed Christians who believe that their rights come from God and not from government. Przybyla declared that there is a difference between Christians and Christian Nationalists, whom she considers a threat to American democracy. One tenet Christian Nationalists hold in common, she asserted, is the belief that rights come from God, not from government. After listening to Przybyla, one has to wonder if she has read […]
Tracing the Roots of American Tolerance
(Copyright 07-31-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) I caught a portion of the Muslim funeral procession for the fallen NYPD officer, Didarul Islam, who was viciously murdered on Monday. Along with feeling sad for his wife and two small children, I was reminded of how this procession was an expression of American tolerance, which is rooted in our nation’s Christian roots. For example, try having a public Christian funeral procession with crosses and prayers in the name of Jesus in Iran or Saudi Arabia or any number of Islamic or Marxist nations. It will not be tolerated or will be […]
Endure to the End of What?
(Copyright 07-24-2025) by Craig Sablich (Charlotte, North Carolina) No matter how old we are, everything we have experienced in life, every right or wrong decision, has contributed to the experiences that have shaped who we are at this very moment. As much as we would like, we cannot change or eliminate a bad decision that might have set us on a heart-breaking path. We can only look forward, ask for, and accept the forgiveness, mercy, and love of God. When I recall the struggles I have faced in life, I sometimes cannot help but consider God’s Word, which teaches us to endure. […]
“Act of God” And Original Sin – Most Eat the Forbidden Fruit?

To those who are conscious of God: Instead of Devil-Media conscious and have the “Beginning of Wisdom” that is the fear of God. The answer is given by Jesus Christ in Luke 13:1-5 “Now there were some present at that time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

Laws of Logic, Inherent and Fundamental to Reality
(Copyright) by Jeffrey Caldwell (Arkansas) The laws of logic appear to be inherent and fundamental aspects of reality — or else, it seems, all our thinking and “scientific investigation” is futile! Rather small children that we be, our ability to grasp or be absolutely certain about the essential nature of reality is limited. Even most atheists seem to think, as I do, that the laws of logic are immaterial, unchanging, universal, and eternal. Those are Biblically proclaimed attributes of the Creator who claims to be the Lawgiver and the Sustainer of all things. God-fearing scientists think the laws of logic are the way […]

Here are excerpts from the book “Project Pearl” by Brother David. His previous book is “God’s Smuggler to China.” There are so many miracles of God’s divine providence and protection that happen when we trust in God instead of man.

Become a Part of the True Church
(Copyright 06-28-2025) by Rod Reynolds (Wentzville, Missouri) Dear Friends and Brethren, There are many Churches that claim to be Christian. The claim to be a Christian Church implies that its teachings are consistent with the teachings of Jesus Christ, and that Christ’s example is followed by the Church making the claim. It ought to be obvious to anyone who seriously considers the matter that not all Churches that claim to be Christian really are following teachings consistent with the teachings of Jesus Christ found in the Bible. If one comes to that conclusion, perhaps he may wonder, “How can I be a […]
Ventilations: The Brats of Europe Need a Good Spanking!
(Copyright 06-01-2025) by Craig M. White (Australia) I recall vividly my Dad’s railing against the United Kingdom’s membership of the European Union during the 1970s and that it did nothing for the country. He detested the loss of British sovereignty and the way the British governments permitted the EEC (now the EU) to walk all over them. And I still recall his joy when the British voted to leave the EU in 2016. I was visiting the Blue Mountains just outside of Sydney enjoying the snow and watching the results coming in on my laptop on that eventful day. He and […]
A Revival of Hatred
(Copyright 06-04-2025) by Joseph B. Baity (Charlotte, North Carolina) On May 8, 2025, the world witnessed the eightieth anniversary of the Allied victory in Europe over the Axis forces led by Adolph Hitler’s Nazi Germany. Though Hitler and his minions committed untold atrocities against humanity, the greatest of these was the Holocaust, the barbaric extermination of over six million Jews. Sadly, the same malevolent tenets of antisemitism that inspired the Holocaust have experienced a resurgence in Western civilization, spurring a new movement of violent opposition to Jews and the modern nation of Israel. Antisemitism can be defined as unfounded animosity or hostility against […]

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 […]
From Eden to AI – The Spiritual Cost of Trying to Play God
(Copyright 04-21-2025) by David Rives (Lewisburg, Tennessee) We’ve explored the idea that while AI is revolutionary, it remains a product of human design, devoid of organic intelligence or morality. Today, we discuss the topic of transhumanism, and the dangers of this AI cult. Artificial Intelligence has potential for both good and evil. But its potential for harm stems from its reliance on algorithms and logic, often neglecting moral and ethical considerations. And certainly, since AI is not created in the image of God, it can’t have a true conscience or sense of morality. This leads us to the question: Where does […]

Living on the Resurrection Side of the Cross
(Copyright 04-17-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) Throughout history the Church has emphasized the passion, the sufferings, and the death of Christ on the Cross, and thus highlighting the sufferings and sorrow of earthly existence. This is well and good, but we must not park there. There is the other side of the Cross—the Resurrection side—that we must embrace and live in. On the suffering side of the Cross, the disciples of Jesus, as depicted in the Gospels, are dull, fearful, and selfish, even arguing over who will be the greatest in the kingdom. On the Resurrection side of the Cross, […]
A Romanized Expression of Christianity?
(Copyright 05-12-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) Tracing the Roots of the Pomp and CeremonySurrounding the Choosing of a New Pope The world seemed mesmerized with the magnificent pomp and ceremony surrounding the announcement of Cardinal Robert Prevost as the next pope. In the excitement of it all, Catholic news journalists found themselves declaring religious dogma rather than objectively reporting the news. One Fox News reporter, for example, could not contain his excitement, and gushed forth calling the new pope, “the direct descendant of Saint Peter.” There is, of course, no biblical basis for such pomp and ceremony, nor for the pope […]
What is the true origin of Halloween?
(Copyright) by BibleStudy.org (Farmington Hills, Michigan) What connection does the origin of Halloween have with Noah’s flood? Who, in the world, celebrates a version of the holiday? Evidence suggests that Halloween and the flood are linked by a certain fixation on the dead, death itself, and the occult. This link between the holiday and a celebration called the “day of the dead” is written about by Frank Humphrey. He wrote, “What is often overlooked, however, is that there is the remembrance of the ‘Day of the Dead’ followed by a New Year. This occurs on our (modern Roman-based) calendar at the end of […]

Example 1 Corinthians 9:9-14 “do not muzzle an ox treading out the grain” is speaking of supporting those who preach the gospel. President Trump: Plow the hearts of democratic party leaders and judges, infested with deep darkness and deception with “light and truth.” The Demons in them will hate the light and scream like Tasmanian devils. But the […]
Principles of Cleanliness
(Copyright 04-06-2025) by Rod Reynolds (Wentzville, Missouri) You’ve probably heard it said, “Cleanliness is next to godliness.” Although reputed to be an ancient saying rooted in Hebrew literature, the phrase “cleanliness is next to godliness” is not in the Bible. However, the principle of cleanliness is found throughout the Bible and is linked with “godliness,” or being holy. Words relating to cleanliness or its opposite, uncleanness, are found hundreds of times throughout the Scriptures. Cleanliness, then, is a concept very important to God, and integral to the life of a Christian. In this message, explore with us the concept of cleanliness, […]

Journey to the Mountain of the Lord
(Copyright 2023) by Warren Zehrung (Little Rock, Arkansas) Introduction:Dear Laura Lee, Thanks for the work you are doing. Sorry I’m getting this Feast sermon out to you so late. “Journey to the Mountain of the Lord” contains an important message. In the Worldwide Church of God, we shied away from verses concerning the birth of Jesus Christ because they smacked of “Christmas” – which indeed is an abomination. I would go so far as to say that the church has been remiss, even negligent, in not proclaiming the truth about the birth of Jesus Christ according to Scripture. These verses in the Bible […]
Unlocking the Mystery of Mankind’s Destiny
(Copyright 03-30-2025) by Rod Reynolds (Wentzville, Missouri) As human beings our lives are largely consumed by those things that we think are important at any given time. In reality, however, often those things we think are so important are of fleeting significance and will soon be forgotten. Those things that truly are important, however, and that are of lasting significance, are commonly given scant attention. The true destiny God desires for human beings is not only a subject about which most people know virtually nothing, but it’s also a subject to which most people give little thought or concern. We’re told […]
The Dangers of Education!
(Copyright 03-31-2025) by David Rives (Lewisburg, Tennessee) Let’s talk about the dangers of education on an intellectual level. I don’t mean research, or experience, or field-work, or training, or growing in knowledge. I’m talking about the education you can get from colleges for the price of a nice house. I’m talking about the “higher-learning” you can get from a recognized institution (and still be paying for it when you hit 50). I don’t have a college degree, although I employ quite a number of people who do. In fact, the majority of my friends and colleagues have Ph.D.’s in some scientific […]

We were having an informal interactive Bible study and the conversation turned to the role of politics in changing American culture. I suggested that it will take more than politics and an election to change America. Everyone heartily agreed and Rafael pointed out that the church in America needs to understand spiritual warfare, and he quoted II Corinthians 10:4-5, which reads, For […]

So why go over it now on what is commonly called Pentecost (meaning count 50) or the Feast of Weeks or the Feast of Harvest? What application does it have to us? As I think we will see, the Songs of Moses are not just about ancient history. There are lessons to be learned from these, actually two, songs of Moses. In fact, the lessons that our Creator wanted His people to learn was so important that it was actually taught […]

Fulfilled Prophecy a Proof of God and the Bible
(Copyright 03-16-2025) by Rod Reynolds (Wentzville, Missouri) How do we really know God exists? How do we really know that God answers prayers and keeps his word? How do we really know even what his word is? Many people, in reality the vast majority, live their lives with little or no knowledge of or regard for the true God. There are many who scoff at the idea that God actually intervenes in a decisive way in the affairs of men and nations (2 Peter 3:3-4). Fulfilled prophecy is one of the primary proofs not only that God exists, but of his identity […]
Spiritual Significance of Washings and Sacrifices
(Copyright 03-09-2025) by Rod Reynolds (Wentzville, Missouri) We are told in Scripture that the “law,” which often in the New Testament refers to not just a law code but to the Old Covenant system, “was our tutor to bring us unto Christ” (Galatians 3:24, NKJV). In the King James Version is “schoolmaster” in place of tutor. The Greek word is “paidagōgós,” and the role includes not only instruction, but “guardianship,” both training of and constant attendance to the conduct and safety of a child. As Paul goes on to point out, those who are faithful to Christ are no longer under […]

The Prayers of George Washington
(Copyright 2022) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) As he was preparing to leave home as a young soldier, George Washington’s mother, Mary Ball Washington, exhorted him, “Remember that God is our only sure trust.” She also urged him, “My son, neglect not the duty of secret prayer” (Hyatt, 1726: The Year that Defined America, 131). The evidence is overwhelming that Washington remembered and carried out his mother’s exhortations. It is obvious that prayer played a prominent role in his life and in the birthing of the United States of America. Prayer As a Young ManIn April of 1891, several of Washington’s descendants, […]

He will become chief of nations, and a people yet unborn will hail him the founder of a mighty nation (Hyatt, America’s Revival Heritage-Second Edition, 73). According to historian, George Bancroft, these words were spoken by an old Native American chief concerning George Washington several years before the Declaration of Independence. He spoke these words as he reminisced with Washington and others about a battle, 15 years previous, when they were on opposite sides during the French and Indian Wars. The Chief […]

Fundamentals of Prayer
Fundamentals of Prayer – Part 1(Copyright 02-09-2025) by Rod Reynolds (Wentzville, Missouri) Prayer is an essential element in spiritual vitality. It’s in prayer that we develop the close personal relationship with God that makes his spirit a power in our lives. We repent in prayer. It’s in prayer that we labor for the salvation not only of ourselves but of others. It’s in prayer that we give praise and thanksgiving to God and seek of him those things of which we have need. It’s vital to pray–and to understand how to pray, when, for what. Even if you have been praying […]
