Our Future
(Copyright 08-09-2025) by Gary C. Miller (Pocahontas, Arkansas) THE KEYS TO OUR FUTURE ARE IN OUR HANDS“Often times it happens we live our lives in chains and never even know WE have the Key.” (Eagles, 1974) ASK:“And all things, whatsoever you shall Ask in Prayer (Speak It), Believing, you shall Receive.” (Matt. 21:22) “…Ask, and you Shall Receive…” (Jn. 16:24) GIVE:“Give and it shall be given to you; good measure,…running over, shall men Give into your bosom…” (Lk. 6:38) SEEK, KNOCK:“…Seek, and you shall Find; Knock and it shall be Opened…” (Lk. 11:9). We may have to Seek and Knock several times. SPEAK, BELIEVE […]
God Our Provider
(Copyright 06-13-2025) by Charles Whitaker (Charlotte, North Carolina) One of God’s names is Yahweh Jireh—the Ever-Living One, our Provider. Our Father supplies all our needs—what we need for our daily living as well as what we need to carry out His work. The story of the building of the Tabernacle of Meeting illustrates how God provides all we need to do His work. Today, this story serves as an encouraging example (I Corinthians 10:6) to us as we actively collaborate with God in building another structure—His church. The Tabernacle of Meeting was an important structure to God—it functioned as a portable Temple where He could dwell while His […]
Our Passover & Unleavened Bread
(Copyright 04-10-2025) by David Antion (Pasadena, California) The Churches of God have traditionally placed emphasis on the death of Christ – observing the “night in which He was betrayed.” We do it “in remembrance” of Him as He instructed (1 Corinthians 11:24) “for as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes” (v. 26 NAS). Editor’s Note:There is nothing in scripture anywhere showing that Christ changed the date of Passover to be celebrated before his death. All Christ did on the night He was betrayed was to introduce the […]
Our Brethren Continue to Die of Starvation
(Copyright 03-10-2025) by William P. Goff (Tuckerton, New Jersey) The Donor letter dated March 9, 2025, is now posted at: https://khofh.com/donor-letter-march-9-2025/ Our Brethren continue to die from starvation. I revised the last paragraph in that letter to say the following: “I just received word from Dauglas, it’s very sad news. Another orphan, Brian from the Getionko congregation has now died from starvation. And a few widows are too weak to get out of bed, they too are starving to death. God Help Us. The need is great over there; we need to make others aware of the suffering. If others only knew of […]
Jesus Our Victory
(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) The Resurrection of Jesus Christ was a great victory that is important to every Christian. It is unfortunate that many have turned to pagan fertility symbols to celebrate this event. The apostle Paul stated: “And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is vain, and your faith is also vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God… And if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is futile, and you are still in your sins. Then those who have fallen asleep in Christ are perished” (I Corinthians 15:14-18). While the death of […]
Jesus Our Shepherd
(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) Jesus speaking in John 10:11: “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for his sheep.” In John 10, Jesus described many attributes of a good shepherd. Joel P. Kramer produced a 30-minute video from his years of filming sheep and shepherds in Israel. This stirring video will bring the words of Jesus and David found in John 10 and Psalm 23 alive. On my grandfather’s headstone is a quote from Psalm 23:1, “The LORD is my shepherd.” That quote has always given me comfort. So, I found this video by Joel […]
We are Our Own Worst Enemy
(Copyright) by James Steinle (Swanville, Minnesota) Many Americans see disaster after disaster happening. What’s the cause? Allow me to suggest it may be we ourselves. In Deuteronomy 28, God told the Israelites if they diligently obeyed his commands he would bless them, their land, crops, and animals, making their nation the highest in all the earth. Their enemies would flee from them. He warned them not to look how other nations worshipped their false gods (Deuteronomy 12:29-32). He also told them if they didn’t obey his commands, curses would overtake them in all the areas where they had been blessed. History shows […]
Getting OUR “tracks” back on track too
(Copyright 2022) by Curtis Dahlgren (Stephenson, Michigan) NEEDLESS TO SAY, the Democrats think they are our leftward angels. Mitt, Liz, and the never-Trumpers are too smug by half. I asked a guy if he was a Trump fan and he said, “I’m not a fan of anybody.” There’s a little libertarian smugness in that tack too. Likewise self-righteous Christians who think their hands are too clean and pure to touch a ballot on election day. That attitude is killing us. That’s a long way of saying I hope GOP voters have purged out any sense of smugness from our thoughts, words, or […]
Was Our Savior Created?
by James Steinle (Swanville, Minnesota) This question is one that has different understandings by many in the various assemblies over the years. There are a number who believe Yayshua or Jesus did not exist until he was born of Mariam. I believe the Scriptures both old and new uphold and support that he was in existence before the existence of anything else. However, I do not believe he was eternal as the Father was until he was given life eternally after coming down from Heaven and sacrificing his life for ours. Here is my understanding about this often quietly talked […]
Our Planned Future
(Copyright) by James McBride (United Kingdom) Armed conflict disrupts the lives of millions of earth’s populace—though ‘the West’ has been blessed with more than half a century of relative tranquility, with a welcome rise in living standards. But inequalities persist, and world leaders are behind the scenes planning radical change, change that will affect all of mankind. Our track record down the centuries, however, raises a red warning flag. After six millennia of civilization, governments have utterly failed to implement utopia; ‘…the way of peace they have not known’. For every ‘solution’ is undermined by human nature and scorn for foundation […]
Our Heavenly Citizenship
(Copyright) by Austin Del Castillo (Charlotte, North Carolina) “For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.” (Philippians 3:20) Many of us appreciate the concept of order. Disorder causes us to become anxious and even feel threatened. We want to either get out of such an environment or fix it. The ongoing unrest in this country, with all the protesting, looting, and burning that carried on for months in several of our major cities, gives us great cause for concern. Since their peak, things have improved somewhat, but a sense that the […]
Jesus Our Passover
Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) The Crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth marked a turning point in the history of the Jewish people and led to the birth of the church of God forming the spiritual body of Christ. Concerning the death of Jesus, the Lamb of God, the apostle Paul states, “For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us” (I Corinthians 5:7). The term “passover” refers back to the Israelites’ sojourn in Egypt when God commanded them to slay a lamb then put its blood upon the lintel and doorposts of their dwellings. The lamb’s blood would cause the destroyer to […]
America’s Founding Documents Declared “Harmful” By Our Own Government
by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma) In a stunning capitulation to the Marxist crusade to transform America, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has determined that America’s founding documents may be “harmful or difficult” for some users. They have, therefore, posted a “Harmful Language Alert” above their online catalog, which includes the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and other documents related to our founding. With statues of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson being toppled, the 1619 narrative being taught in public schools, and now this official warning of potential “harm” in reading America’s founding documents, it is obvious that the Leftist […]
Sharing Our Lives at the Feast
by Mark Schindler (Charlotte, North Carolina) One of the great blessings that God gives us every year is the command to keep His holy days. As with all of His laws, they do much more for us than they do for Him. As a loving Father, He provides for our every need, and the holy days are a need that we do not fully realize that we have. The holy days give us a chance to spend extra time together. With other members of God’s church, we sing hymns, pray, and hear His Word expounded in a setting suitable for drawing us closer to each […]
Our World
by Grigore Sbarcea (New South Wales, Australia) This Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached to all the world as a witness to all nations, and then the end will come. Friends and Leaders Around the World:The respite from Europe’s and the worlds debt problems did not last long. Things only got worse. The perennial conflict between Israel and the Palestinians has been joined by the Arab rising nightmares. Global warming and climate change are marching on relentlessly. Widespread famines in Africa and elsewhere, and water shortages in much of the world, are now a fact of life; and this […]
