Why Jesus Appeared First to a Woman After His Resurrection

(Copyright 04-17-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas)   During the forty days between His resurrection and ascension, Jesus appeared to His disciples at various times and on one occasion appeared to over five hundred of His followers at once (I Corinthians 15:3-7). The gospel writers, however, are very explicit in noting that it was Mary Magdalene to whom He appeared FIRST after His resurrection. The importance which the evangelists attach to this fact indicate that it was no accidental occurrence, but that Jesus purposely appeared first to Mary Magdalene. A Revolutionary ActJesus not only appeared first to Mary, but He sent her forth […]

How to Conduct Ourselves as Ambassadors for Christ

(Copyright 05-21-2025) by David F. Maas (Charlotte, North Carolina)  To the members of God’s church in Philippi, the apostle Paul writes, “For our citizenship is in heaven” (Philippians 3:20). While some may spiritualize this fact away, Paul’s words come across as literal and real to those who understand that God has called us out of this world (John 15:19) and transferred us into His Kingdom (Colossians 1:13). Having our citizenship in the Kingdom of God by definition makes us aliens in the physical country in which we live. Like ambassadors of a foreign government, we cannot participate in the politics of another country, a practice […]

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 […]

Impeach Judges Who Use “Due Process” to License Crimes in Process!

Impeach the Judges Due Process: Concept ensure fair treatment when the government seeks to deprive individuals of life, liberty, or property.” government democratic party judges did just that with no “due process.” They deprived January 6 Americans of “life, liberty and property” because they were republicans.

And when democrats riot Media-Devils applaud. “Due process concepts were devised by historical figures such as King John of England. and the drafters of 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 […]

How Evolution Took Over Science –The Evolution to Evolution

(Copyright 02-17-2025) by David Rives (Lewisburg, Tennessee) Every time you turn on the TV, watch the news, or read a science magazine you will more than likely find evolutionary content, so much so that you would think that science and evolution go hand-in-hand. The scene was set for the acceptance of Darwin’s evolutionary ideas long before Darwin ever visited the Galapagos Islands. In the 1600s the science of geology was born as people began collecting rock samples and theorizing about the rocks as well as the fossils inside them. Many of these early geologists saw the rock layers and fossils as […]

Was Tom Homan Right to Rebuke the Pope?

(Copyright 02-13-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas)   In an open letter to the U.S. Catholic bishops, Pope Francis rebuked the Trump administration for its deportation of illegal immigrants. Francis insisted that assigning criminality to illegal status is contrary to Christianity and warned that such an approach will “end badly.” This is not the first time the pope has taken issue with Trump and his approach to immigration. In 2016 Francis held a mass near the Texas/Mexico border where Trump was planning the building of the border wall. He afterwards declared that anyone who builds a wall, rather than a bridge, to […]

Christ’s Coming to Rule

(Copyright) by Ray Daly (Lincoln, North Dakota)  Please read the material to follow.  It is an answer to your thought in the last lesson that “Christ could come soon”.  Or words to that effect.  Thus, I am going to present some teachings of prophecy, to see if you can grasp the plan as the Almighty has recorded it.  And note that when WCG was wrong, God’s word tells us that it was “not their fault”. Simply because it was not his time.  This is why we are some 20 years beyond the 6000 that men come up with. Anyway, please consider […]

A Chance to Right the Abortion Curse

by Richard T. Ritenbaugh (Charlotte, North Carolina)   On May 2, 2022, the American political scene erupted into an inferno of controversy with the unprecedented leak of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s draft opinion on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. If enacted as written, the ruling would strike down the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion throughout the United States and set aside the 1992 Planned Parenthood v. Casey decision. Most observers believe the draft was leaked to Politico to pressure a Supreme Court justice to change his or her vote on Dobbs and “save” abortion rights. At this time, an investigation ordered by […]

She bought me brand new for her 90th birthday. She put a gun rack in the back window for old times’ sake. She didn’t own a gun, just the gun rack. We got a lot of funny looks around town.

The Startling “Foreword” to the 2nd Edition

(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas)  I am honored and thrilled to write this Foreword for such a timely, church-shaking volume as this Second Edition of In the Spirit We’re Equal. What this book addresses is not just a “woman issue.” What this book addresses is a “church issue” and an issue of discipleship and world evangelism. This was made very clear to me about twelve years ago when the Lord visited me in an unusual manner and instructed me to “identify” with Sue and her two-fold vision to articulate the Biblical basis for the equality of women and men in Christ and […]

God’s Rebuke to LGBT-America: Biden and his Leftist Snakes

(Copyright) by Richard Frates (Easley, South Carolina)  The fraudulent election of Biden was God’s rebuke to: LGBT America and the Idolatry of, Democracy. Arrogant Folly: Believing majority votes and opinions, Divorced from God’s Anchor of Truth is freedom. Majority opinions absent from: The fear of God, will lead to Devil Worship, praising the wicked and condemning those who believe God. Everyone knows Biden was elected with FRAUD votes. Cowardly Republicans: Muzzled by Democratic party Snakes and Devil Media, obediently ignore Election Thievery. Hearts are being Tested: Jesus Christ said, Matthew 28:18 “All power in heaven and earth is given to me.” […]

Becoming a Blessing to Others

(Copyright) by Zac Poonen (Bangalore, India)  In Matthew 14:19, we see the three steps to becoming a blessing to others: (1) Jesus took ALL the loaves and fish;(2) He blessed them; and(3) He broke them. “It is only as you also allow the Holy Spirit to break the strength of your own will that you will become spiritual.” Then the multitude was fed. This is how the Lord wants to make you a blessing to others too. You have to give Him everything first, as the little lad there did. Then He will bless you with the power of the Holy Spirit. Then He will break you through many […]

Cognitive disconnects: Outlandish “stuff” D-voters claim to believe

Nothing new to see here, is there? I’ve been making a list of outlandish statements by unrepentant Biden voters, such as: “The border is not open. People still have to go through the process” [When you can wade across the Rio Grande, not row, and there is no border, it’s an open border; many just skip the “process.] “There is no connection between a bonus to […]

Something to Think About

(Copyright) by Ray Daly (Lincoln, North Dakota)  Just something to think about. First, ALL OF the prophecies presented by the Sabbath churches (and some Sunday churches) have failed. The question is why?  When they were sure they were right?  I have mentioned to you, I think, that they likely failed, because it was not The Almighty’s time.  Which his time is soon approaching and has been advancing.  Put all of the failed prophecies before you, and then consider what The Almighty has to say.  He says in one verse.  “Behold, I work a work in your days which you will […]

Was God’s Law Nailed to the Cross?

(Copyright) by Earl L. Henn (Charlotte, North Carolina)  In their struggle to find a New Testament scripture that supports their misconception that God’s law is “done away,” many people point to Colossians 2:14 to “prove” that Christ nailed the law of God to the cross. In fact, this verse becomes a major linchpin in their fallacious argument that Christians are not required to keep God’s “harsh Old Testament law.” Proponents of such a teaching say that the “handwriting of requirements [ordinances, KJV]” refers to the law “that was against us.” They further claim that Christ “took it out of the way” or abolished the […]

A Message Concerning the Canaanite Spirit that will Lead to the Worship of the Beast or Man of Sin

(Copyright) by Steven Blackledge (Sonora, California)  I happened to come across a message given by Daniel Joseph on WorldNetDaily concerning Jude… More specifically, the passage that pertains to Cain, and how this spiritual state of being is leading many to a false sense of understanding where they actually stand with God due to embracing sin, and the practice thereof as being acceptable to God as long as they believe in Jesus… I have always believed that it was Cain’s spiritual state, and the lack of faith HE had in the WAY of GOD that was the core reason that this […]

The Spices and the Visits to Christ’s Tomb

by B. L. Cocherell (Nevada)  There has been much confusion about the sequence of events surrounding preparation of spices and the visits to Christ’s tomb, because there seems to be no chronological order to the events as recorded in the gospel accounts. This study provides a plausible sequence of events by reviewing them in four segments: The time frame, Jesus’ burial, the women’s spice preparation, and the visits to the tomb. The Time FrameLong before the beginning of the Sabbath, Pilate gave his permission for Jesus to be crucified (Mk.15:13‑20). Everyone knew that, unless there were divine intervention, Jesus would die […]

My Trip to Kokomo

(Copyright) by Wayne Schatzle (West Chester, Ohio)  In September we had the privilege to attend our first Vietnam Veteran’s Welcome Home Reunion. It has been held in Kokomo, Indiana, for 24 years. I heard about it last year and decided to go. Those types of festivals have gotten a bad name due to some rowdiness and drinking, and some people view Vietnam vets poorly anyway. It was very reminiscent of Woodstock, and it was as if everyone there knew each other. I myself am a Vietnam veteran, and like most of the rest of my fellow vets I have a […]

How to Recognize and Overcome the Spirit of the Antichrist

(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma)  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. Both the “man of sin” and “the Beast” are described as putting themselves in the place of God […]

Is the Biden White House too Proud to Pray? Abraham Lincoln would say “Yes”

(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma)  Unless I have missed something, no call for prayer has come from the Biden White House during this time of national and international crisis. Even after 12 Marines were killed today in a terrorist attack in the midst of the turmoil in Afghanistan, still no call for prayer.  Why not? Such an official prayer call from the White House would not be unusual. It would, in fact, be the American thing to do. From the very beginning of our Republic, presidents from George Washington to Donald Trump have called on the nation to pray in times […]

The Ominous Threat to America’s Power Grid

(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio)  Never has the United States faced so many problems as it is now. It has become painfully obvious that solutions are as elusive as holding the wind in the palms of a person’s hands. The threat to America’s infrastructure is something very few Americans are considering due to concerns about inflation, supply chain disruptions, COVID, the crisis in education, and a president who is completely out of touch due to poor leadership. In a report released by the government, the Department of Homeland Security states that radical extremists plan to attack the nation’s power grid. It […]

To Separate or Not to Separate

by Brenda Branson (Hanson, Kentucky) Copyright © 2004   Most pastors and marriage counselors recommend that a couple stay together to work out major conflicts.  Their rationale is that issues are best dealt with face-to-face instead of at a distance, with two people working together to come to a mutual understanding.  This is true in most safe relationships. However, in an abusive situation, it is sometimes healthy and wise to separate, with the separation having a structure and a goal for the restoration of the relationship, if at all possible.  If you are in a 15-round prize fight, there’s nothing wrong […]

Why Are We to Count to Pentecost?

(Copyright) by Laura Lee (Bismarck, North Dakota)  PentecostPentecost means count fifty. Pentecost is also called the Feast of First Fruits and the Feast of Weeks. We are told in: Leviticus 23:15 to count to Pentecost. Lev 23:15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:  When was the Wave Sheaf Offering?Many believe that because we are told to count on the morrow after the sabbath, that this means the weekly sabbath. And, because we are to count, they understand that to […]

Wake Up to Reality

by John Jewell (London, England)  In the Letter from London a couple of weeks ago we wrote of the next major financial disaster to hit the western world following the credit crunch and the fallout from that. This was the incredible scam perpetrated by Bernard Madoff which resulted in a large number of people losing around $50 billion in total. A newspaper survey of the major losses showed that quite a number of people, who had many millions of dollars and pounds and wanted a safe, but profitable, haven for these funds had entrusted Mr. Madoff with the entire amount.

Vulture Bees Evolved or Adapted to Eat Meat?

(Copyright) by David Rives (Tennessee)   We know that vultures eat dead animals and are helpful in cleaning up those rotting remains, but did you know there are also bees that eat carrion? With all the talk of killer bees and murder hornets, here are some bees we can be thankful for! Vulture bees, as they have been named, have been found to have acid in their guts similar to the stomach acid of other animals that feed on carrion, like vultures and hyenas. While there are only three species of vulture bees that exclusively consume dead meat, there are other bees […]

Translated to Where?

by James Steinle (Swanville, Minnesota)  Some believe Enoch was translated and never died per Genesis 5:24. That he did not die is not true; that Enoch was ‘translated’ is true.  For an example of what happened to Enoch, we will examine what happened to Elijah which I believe cannot be any different in essence.  2 Kings 2:11 is used to supposedly prove that Elijah was taken up into heaven in a whirlwind, and so that is where he has been ever since; “And it came to pass, as they (Elijah and Elisha) still went on, and talked, that, behold, there […]

Some Things to Consider as a Possibility

by James Steinle (Swanville, Minnesota)  Ever wonder how even the very elect could, if possible, be deceived by false Christs (Messiahs) and false prophets which will show great signs and wonders (Matthew 24:24)?  Most of the elect base their world and society views on basic conservative teachings from the Scriptures.  So, if the elect might if possible be deceived by false Messiahs (or, a false Messiah), does it not make sense that a false messiah (and false prophets) would come across as very conservative sounding also in order to deceive? In the middle of the Scriptures is Psalm 118, preceded by […]

How They Make Us Sick Trying to Make Us Well

by David Antion (Pasadena, California)  Do you have sugar diabetes?Well, it might all depend upon the year. Prior to 1997, if you had a fasting blood sugar level over 140 you were considered to have sugar diabetes. But in 1997 an expert committee on the diagnosis and classification of diabetes lowered this number. After 1997 you had sugar diabetes if you had a fasting blood sugar level over 126. When doctors saw that a person had a blood sugar of over 125, they immediately diagnosed them with sugar diabetes. When diagnosed, they treated them. Even though the patient may not have […]

A Nation That Talks the Talk, but Refuses to Walk the Walk

(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio)  When it comes to problems, America is a nation that naively believes it has the leisure of looking the other way and turning a blind eye to what is urgent and in need of immediate attention. This in all actuality is a monumental understatement when realizing the cold hard reality of what we’ve become as a nation and people. Even though the very survival of the country is at stake, this is a generation either in complete denial of its true condition or is tragically viewing problems with a wait and see attitude. This non-urgent […]

How to Understand Prophecy

by BibleStudy.org (Farmington, Michigan)  What is Biblical Prophecy? How can we understand it? Simply put, prophecy is history foretold before it happens. God uses it to reveal events to occur in the future and to warn man to repent and change his ways. The Bible is the only book ever written that can demonstrate its supernatural inspiration through prophecy. Our Creator not only can predict the future, he also has the power to cause his predictions to occur in every detail! Fulfilled Biblical prophecy is a major proof of God’s existence. They attest to his authority and power to influence the course […]

A Drop to Drink

by Joseph B. Baity (Charlotte, North Carolina)   Water is growing markedly more precious with the extended and expanding droughts of the American West. Some sub-regions count 2021 as the twenty-first consecutive year of too little rain. Currently, 95 percent of the West—the most extensive area ever on record—is officially in drought, with 65 percent rated “extreme” or “exceptional,” the two direst categories. As a result, hydrologists and other water experts are anxiously preparing for an unpleasant announcement, expected later this month, of the first-ever federally declared water shortage on the Colorado River. This declaration includes Lake Mead, the nation’s largest capacity […]

Command to Love

Command to Loveby Church of God Group (Christchurch, New Zealand)  To the Children of God, brothers, and sisters of Jesus Christ in whom the Holy Spirit dwells, this is a call to attention and a call to action. Jesus said, “A new commandment I give, that you love one another”. This Love is the ultimate gift of the Holy Spirit and yet is the greatest challenge to us, as humans. The church is the body of Christ, and as such is the Temple in which the Holy Spirit resides.

People flock to the mountains to witness the sometime breathtaking event each year. What I have come to appreciate more than the autumn leaves is the late winter leaves. Why is that you ask? For some reason after a long winter of icy cold and forceful winds a very few leaves manage to hang on the trees. They are dry and shriveled, yet still clinging to their life source. Why do I like seeing them? Nature teaches us many lessons and, […]

28th Amendment to the United States Constitution

Sent by Howard Naasz (Colorado)  An idea whose time has come.For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they didn’t pay into Social Security, that they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment) while ordinary citizens must live under those laws. The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform that is being considered…in all of its forms. […]

The World as We Know It is About to Become History

by David Ben-Ariel (Toledo, Ohio) Those who strongly disagree with the “European Union” forging ahead, the Euro-skeptics, state sovereignty is under attack and that the EU is going backwards, descending into the darkness of fascism, not advancing democratic ideals but sacrificing them with impunity. Rodney Atkinson, author of three books on the subject of Fascist Europe Rising (his most recent), led the charge, sounded the alarm, from a strictly secular point of view that interestingly matched what theologian Herbert W. Armstrong was warning about from a purely biblical perspective: the revival of the unholy Roman Empire is well underway and most […]

Go To Your Brother…

by Arlan Weight (Bismarck, North Dakota)        From my first encounter with the Worldwide Church of God in the late 60’s and early 70’s ‘suspension’ and disfellowshipping’ were common practices. Prior to either one of these measures being taken, there was an effort to reconcile with the one involved in the infraction. From my perspective the effort usually involved the ministry, maybe not always, but usually.       Over the years I have always had this nagging thought that many people were never reconciled or encouraged in a right way such that they would return and consequently were disfellowshipped. Once disfellowshipped they […]

You are scared in the presence of God because you KNOW you do not measure […]

Major Changes are Necessary if America is to Survive

(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) When looking at society, it is becoming more difficult to not only understand changes taking place, but where changes are headed. To discuss whether the changes are justified or not is a point of contention. Condemnation towards those who are conservative is becoming more widely accepted because society is more liberal and lawless. Conservatism, however, is viewed as the culprit for out-of-control reasoning and resulting behavior in the nation today. How Stable Will America Be If Liberalism Becomes the Overriding New Reality?Liberalism and people who are liberal have been waging a full-scale assault on the nation’s […]

Division Will Lead to the Nation’s Destruction if not Restrained

(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) The year 2020 will go down in history as a year of deep division. It will be remembered as a time in which Americans turned on one another. The national election for the presidency will be remembered as illegitimate by Trump supporters and conservatives, but fair by Democrats and liberals. Most Americans fail to see long range repercussions for the way they decide to deal with problems. What is taking place will irreversibly harm the country as long as emotions are the driving force behind the stances people are taking. What is developing is a national […]
