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 Post-Christian Age in America
(Copyright 12-01-2023) by James Lloyd (Medford, Oregon) The Bible told us it would come when it said there would be a “Falling Away [from the truth]” (II Thessalonians 2:9), but very few saw the form this “departure” from the Gospel would take, as the attached humorous cartoon shows. The Scriptures also describe it as a “Snare,” but the practice of breaking free to pursue unrestricted, selfish interests is essentially when Flesh and Blood pursuits unexpectedly rise above Spiritual and moral considerations. Jesus Christ said this time would be similar to Sodom and Gomorrah, as that account formed the vivid historical example […]
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 […]
Spare the Rod, Save the Child
(Copyright) by Catherine C. Kroeger (Brewster, Massachusetts) The American Journal of Preventive Medicine carries a report of a study on corporal punishment of children. The research was conducted by a medical team at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill. One discovery was that spanking with an object rather than the hand raised by nine times the likelihood of other forms of abuse. Parents who spanked frequently were far more likely to beat, burn or shake their children. Pediatrician Adam Zolotor, lead author of the study, wrote “Parents get angry when they’re spanking, and it’s not working. . . If […]
Pulsating Discs from the Sky?
(Copyright 06-02-2008) by Jonathan Gray (New Zealand) Attention. Aliens are coming to abduct all the good looking and sexy people. You will be safe, I’m just emailing to say goodbye. I chuckled as I read that email from my friend and colleague John Paige. Whenever John phones, you can be sure we’ll end up laughing about something. If you didn’t know, laughter is good for the heart. How’s your heart? Anyway, speaking of aliens, I mean the extraterrestrial kind, have you heard about the group of alleged ancient astronauts who supposedly dropped out of the sky and left behind some pulsating discs in caves […]
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 […]
The year the lions lay down with the Lamb

About Keeping the Sabbath or Not
(Copyright 10-16-2023) by Jeffrey Caldwell (Arkansas) A current article in World Net Dailyhttp://worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=57978notes: Greg Laurie, a WND columnist and senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, Calif., one of the eight largest Protestant churches in America, maintains it’s wrong for Christians to observe Saturday, claiming Jesus and the apostles never taught anyone to keep the Sabbath. He says it’s the only one of the Ten Commandments not specifically repeated in the New Testament. “Of all the New Testament lists of sins, ‘breaking the Sabbath’ is never mentioned,” Laurie said. “That is because it was given to the Jews, not the non-Jews.” Back […]
The Number One Problem No One Wants to Talk About
(Copyright 2006) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) When my wife, Linda, died in 2005, a number of things changed in my life. The area I am more aware of is the number one problem facing the country when it comes to health. Linda weighed 50 lbs. when she died as a result of colon cancer. It was a slow agonizing death, and I am still coming to terms with it to this day. It has been a life altering experience and has made me more aware of cause and effect when it comes to disease and physical health. The one area Linda […]

The Corruption that is Called Christmas
(Copyright) by Jeffrey Caldwell (Arkansas) Eve, the first woman, meant well … at least she felt she meant well … reaching for the forbidden fruit. Satan’s deceitful and misleading spiel had convinced her. Nobody had ever lied to her … she wasn’t prepared for that. After all, “… she saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would give her…” (Genesis 3:6), can’t fault the reasoning. Adam knew better, he remembered God had said it was not to be eaten, that death would be the consequence. But he went along with […]
Vladimir Putin, The Antichrist, and the Kingdom of God

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’
(Copyright 2010) by Curtis Dahlgren (Stephenson, Michigan) “We have it in our power to begin the world over again.” — Thomas Paine, c. 1774 IT’S NO SECRET THAT OUR PRESIDENT WANTS TO “REMAKE” AMERICA (Barack Hussein Obama). 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.

Commencement address time again (but can the grads read?)
(Copyright 05-03-2025) by Curtis Dahlgren (Stephenson, Michigan) “IT WILL COME AS NO SURPRISE to anyone who has listened to a commencement speech in the last ten years to know that a spirit of elitism has been fostered among students – and deliberately – by politicians. Not so well known is the fact that many professors pander this same line to their classes, telling them how smart, how well-educated they are. “The words of politician and professor combine to reinforce the usual late-teenage ignorance; students of that age already assert their self-superiority. In short, too many professors pander to their audience and […]
Flesh-Eating Bacteria Cases on the Rise: Here Are the Symptoms
(Copyright 08-18-2025) by Jason Darrow (Email) Every year, around 150 to 200 severe cases of Vibrio vulnificus are reported to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, with most cases occurring during the summer when more people are swimming in the ocean and eating raw oysters. Some people can also contract necrotizing fasciitis by eating raw oysters or seafood contaminated with the bacteria. (How about some sushi my friends?) According to the CDC, one can reduce their risks of infection by avoiding salty or brackish water when they have a wound from a surgery, piercing, or tattoo. The wound should also […]
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 […]
Christ The Firstfruits
(Copyright 08-01-2025) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) Jesus of Nazareth was called “the lamb of God” by John the Baptist (John 1:29). Indeed, Jesus became a Passover lamb by laying down His life so that we may escape death just as occurred hundreds of years before in Egypt. The descendants of Abraham and Jacob had multiplied in Egypt and eventually became slaves to the Egyptians. God sent Moses to Pharaoh to demand the release of His people. As you know, Pharaoh refused even after the land had suffered various plagues. A final plague was pronounced upon Egypt that would bring death […]
The True Church

IS THERE A TRUE CHURCH ON EARTH….TODAY?Is there an actual “True” Church with the same doctrines of the original church the Messiah founded? He said “…I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it…” (Matt. 16:18). He said there would be one….today. That is, it will not die out. Did He mean it?

The War on America’s Christian Heritage
(Copyright 08-07-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) A federal judge has blocked a new Arkansas law requiring Ten Commandments displays in public school classrooms, citing concerns about the separation of church and state, which is not in the Constitution. Similar laws in Louisiana and Texas are also facing legal challenges. The photo above is of a Ten Commandments monument being removed from the Oklahoma State Capital Grounds after a federal judge declared it unconstitutional and ordered it removed. This government animosity towards the Bible is ironic considering that the first English Bible printed in America in 1782 was created for “use in schools” […]
Are the Sabbath and Holy Days Done Away?
(Copyright 08-13-2025) by Earl L. Henn (Charlotte, North Carolina) For centuries, people have tried to find ways to convince themselves and others that Christians are not required to observe the Sabbath and holy days. A favorite scriptural target in this quest is Colossians 2:16-17. Some teach that a heretical group of Judaizers in the Colossian church was trying to enforce obedience to Jewish practices, such as the laws of clean and unclean meats and the holy days. Under such a scenario, they argue, Paul is telling the Colossians that they did not have to do these things, and further, they had no need to be concerned […]
Did Jesus Break the Sabbath?
(Copyright 08-02-2025) by Rod Reynolds (Wentzville, Missouri) Dear Friends and Brethren, It’s been asserted that Jesus broke the Sabbath, and hence we are free to disregard it as well. But did Jesus break the Sabbath? The basis for the idea that Jesus broke the Sabbath is the accusations made by Jesus’ enemies among the Pharisees and scribes. Because Jesus performed miracles of healing on the Sabbath and did not honor their manmade rules regarding Sabbath observance, the Pharisees accused him of breaking the Sabbath. But did he in fact, break the Sabbath? To many who consider themselves Christians, not to mention those who […]
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. […]
History has Clearly Spoken: Mamdani’s Vision for NYC and America will Destroy the Economy
(Copyright 07-26-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) The election of Zohran Mamdani as the Democrat nominee for mayor of New York City, has set off a firestorm of controversy. Although he calls himself a “Social Democrat,” his statements carry a ring of Marxism. For example, he has called for eliminating private property ownership, and in its place, implementing government-run housing for everyone. He has also called for a government-run chain of grocery stores. These and other statements have led to many, including Donald Trump, to warn that he is a communist. Winston Churchill said, “Those who do not learned from history are doomed to repeat […]
The American Church and Donald Trump
(Copyright 07-31-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) Daniel 2:21 says that God “removes kings and raises up kings.” Psalm 75:7 says, “God is the Judge: He puts down one and exalts another.” In Isaiah 45:13, God said of King Cyrus of Persia, “I have raised him up.” Donald J. Trump was raised up as President of the United States for a specific purpose, which the American church needs to understand. Trump was raised up, not to save America, but to give the American church a window of opportunity to awaken from its spiritual doldrums and be the instrument of God for […]
Was Peter the First Pope?
(Copyright 07-26-2025) by Rod Reynolds (Wentzville, Missouri) Dear Friends and Brethren, Last Sabbath I posted a sermon that I had edited titled “Jesus and James.” However, after posting the sermon and sending it out, I realized I had neglected to include a link to the sermon in the newsletter. It’s not difficult to find any article or sermon posted on our website as we have a searchable index listing them, and also an archive page that includes a number of sermons from previous years, most of which have not been edited.

The Heavenly Man
(Copyright 04-25-2025) by Rebecca Wise (East Bend, North Carolina) Here are excerpts from a book written by a Christian evangelist and planter of many ‘underground’ “house churches” in China. So many miracles happened that there isn’t room enough to tell all of them. I highly recommend this book; you won’t be able to put it down. In “The Heavenly Man”, Brother Yun tells about how when he was 16 and his father was terminally ill, God encouraged his mother and healed their father after the family kneeled around his bedside and begged Jesus to heal him. The entire family (including six […]

“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.

Why Keep the Sabbath?
(Copyright 07-05-2025) by Rod Reynolds (Wentzville, Missouri) Dear Friends and Brethren, Most professing Christian Churches keep Sunday as their day of worship. Have you ever stopped to ask why? Where in the Bible is Sunday commanded to be kept as a weekly day of rest and worship? If you keep the Sabbath on the day commanded by God for it to be kept, the seventh day of the week, according to the sacred calendar, the way God counts days as recorded in Scripture, has anyone ever asked you why you keep it as noted?

Is there a path that can put an end to violence, unnecessary suffering and sorrow? What happens when we die? Is there a way to eternal life, and if so, what is […]
Death in the Vatican
(Copyright 04-23-2025) by Richard T. Ritenbaugh (Charlotte, North Carolina) On April 21, 2025, Pope Francis, 88, died of a stroke and irreversible heart failure in Vatican City. Though the pontiff had returned to work after a five-week hospital stay, he was still recovering from double pneumonia and related health complications. The day before his death, he made his last public appearance at St. Peter’s Basilica, offering a final Easter address (delivered by his aide, Archbishop Diego Ravelli) for the world’s 1.3 billion Catholics. Argentine-born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the 266th leader of the Catholic Church, was the first Jesuit pope, the first from the […]
The Pearl of Great Price or The Power of Prayer

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. Beginning with Mao’s ‘Cultural Revolution’ in China (1966-1976), all Bibles found by authorities were burned, and anyone found with one (or […]
Stephen and the New Deal
(Copyright 06-25-25) by Richard T. Ritenbaugh (Charlotte, North Carolina) Luke begins the action of the book of Acts just weeks after the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In his second chapter, only days after Christ’s dramatic ascension to the Father’s right hand, he relates the giving of the Holy Spirit that launches the New Testament church. The ensuing chapters detail its subsequent growth and expansion throughout the world as God added thousands of believers to the church (Acts 2:41; 4:4). He shows the apostles performing stunning signs and wonders—even Peter’s shadow passing over the sick left healed people in its wake (Acts 5:12-16). An anomaly to the dynamic […]

Lazarus and the Rich Man
(Copyright 06-21-2025) by Rod Reynolds (Wentzville, Missouri) Dear Friends and Brethren, The Bible tells us that Satan “deceives the whole world” (Revelation 12:9). How does he do this? One of the main tools that he uses is false religion, false teachers, false prophets, impostors, including those who come in the name of Christ, calling themselves “Christians,” but sowing lies, confusion, false doctrines, twisting the Scriptures to lead people into error (Matthew 24:4-5; Acts 20:29-30; II Corinthians 11:13-15; II Peter 3:16-17; Jude 1:4-5). So, the vast majority of people today professing Christianity are victims of deception, confused about Biblical doctrine, and believing concepts […]
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 […]
The Rapture
(Copyright 06-03-2025) by Paul Janvier Mbock (Cameroon) I – INTRODUCTIONThe Plain Truth about the “Rapture” can only be grasped if we understand that Biblical Prophecy clearly speaks of two (2) distinct Advents, which will take place at the end of time, namely: – First, of the Advent of the Son of Man, Elijah, who will first bring about the Physical Kingdom of God, ZION, and – Second, of the Advent of the Son of God, Jesus, who will then bring about the Spiritual Kingdom of God and the Millennial Reign or Millennium! The Confusion that has long been maintained about these […]
The Distorted Thinking Behind the Riots in Los Angeles
(Copyright 06-14-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) When Freedom is Turned into Lawlessness & Anarchy Political supporters of the violent protestors insist that they are exercising their First Amendment rights of Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Assembly. This is a blatant distortion of those rights and America’s founders warned this would happen with an amoral and irreligious people. America’s Founders knew that the success of the nation they had formed hinged on the moral character of its citizens and their ability to govern themselves. For example, President John Adams, in a 1798 speech, warned, We have no government armed with power capable […]
When the Bible was King in America
(Copyright 06-14-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) The Bible was the most cherished and the most quoted book in early America. America’s founding generation found in the pages of the Bible its moral compass, its guide for ethics, and the lens through which it viewed and interpreted all of life. It is, therefore, not surprising that the second most popular book in early America proposed a ceremony making the Bible America’s king. In January of 1776, Thomas Paine published his very popular book, Common Sense, in which he presented compelling arguments for independence from Great Britain. The book sold 500,000 copies, which would […]
The Truth About Speaking in Tongues
(Copyright) by Zac Poonen (Bangalore, India) “Every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation (change)” (James. 1:17). God never makes a mistake, He never changes and He gives only perfect gifts. Therefore when He gave the gift of “speaking in unknown languages” (“tongues”) to the church on the day of Pentecost, He knew exactly what He was doing. The gift of “tongues” was a perfect gift. God has not changed His mind about the gift, for He never changes. God knew the controversies that would surround this gift in the 20th […]
How to be an Anchor in the Storm
(Copyright 2017) by Brenda Branson (Hanson, Kentucky) One of the reasons a battered woman is finally able to leave an abusive relationship is because she has someone who acts as her anchor in the storm. “For a battered woman, having an anchor can mean the difference between helplessness and empowerment to work toward a solution,” says Susan Brewster, author of “To be an Anchor in the Storm.” She compares the role of friends and relatives of battered women to the anchor of a ship. The anchor: * is made of the strongest steel which is able to withstand corrosive elements around it* […]
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 […]
