Does Geology Really Disagree with the Bible?
(Copyright 03-24-2025) by David Rives (Lewisburg, Tennessee) Galileo famously stated that the Bible teaches “how to go to heaven, not how the heavens go,” which highlights the idea that the bible is not an exhaustive record of how God uses physics. But some have taken it too far, using this idea to support a long-standing belief that faith and science are fundamentally opposed. This perspective is increasingly being challenged and has been by the brightest minds in science for years. Today, a growing body of evidence suggests that Biblical scripture can offer valuable insights into various scientific fields, particularly geology. While the Bible […]
Dollars With Eyes
(Copyright 02-24-2025) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) On the back of a U.S. one dollar bill is a pyramid capped with an eye. This is the “eye of Providence” which symbolizes God’s eye. God is certainly watching the affairs of men upon the earth and not via any paper currency. “The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and His ears are inclined to their cry” (Psalm 34:15). “The eyes of the LORD are in every place, observing the evil and the good” (Proverbs 15:3). But evil men, lusting to have God-like power, now have the technology to place electronic “eyes” into […]
All Goes Well with the Godly
(Copyright) by Zac Poonen (Bangalore, India) Every step of your future life will be guided by God – if you decide to be a godly person. It is the one who honours God who gets the best in life – not the clever one, or the rich one, or the genius, or the one who gets lucky breaks in life. All insecurity regarding the future comes when we do not choose godliness as a way of life. So, decide to honour God at all times. He will then give you the best spiritually, and at the same time, all that is necessary […]
Breaking with Diotrephes
(Copyright) by Rich Traver (Clifton, Colorado) Many Biblical Examples exist of Political Situations within the Church. One notable situation was the Congregational Regime related by the beloved Elder and Apostle John as he concluded his Third Epistle. In these latter decades, especially as the Church of God grew, becoming its most significant work in centuries, then when coming under extreme duress, both from without and especially from within, a concept of government was developed to meet the challenges of the times. Not all members were entirely comfortable with what developed, and not all were treated equitably as it all played out. […]
America’s Covenant with God
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma) The earliest immigrants to this land believed that they, as a people, had entered into a sacred covenant with God. This was clearly expressed by John Winthrop who, in 1630, led a flotilla of eleven ships with 700 passengers to New England and founded the city of Boston and the Massachusetts Bay Colony. During their journey across the Atlantic, Winthrop formulated a sermon entitled “A Model of Christian Charity.” In it he exhorted his fellow pilgrims that “the eyes of the world are upon us” and that God would have them, in their new home, to be that […]
Rider with Bow?
(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) In the Book of Revelation, chapter six, we find the famous “four horsemen of the Apocalypse.” The first horse listed is a white horse. Some may think this white horse is similar to the white horse that Christ is riding in Revelation 19 at His return to fight against the nations. However, when you correlate the four horses with Christ’s explanation found in Matthew 24, then this white horse corresponds to the spread of false religion or a false message of some kind. Notice Revelation 6:1-2: “And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the […]
Mexico Reaches Natural Gas Agreement with Russia and China
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) Mexico has reached an agreement with two Russian and two Chinese companies after months of negotiations involving natural gas-pipeline contracts, according to negotiators directly involved with the talks. Under the terms agreed upon, Mexico will allow Russian and Chinese troops to stay in the country in order to protect America’s neighbor from “U. S. Aggression.” In return Russia and China will have access to all natural gas supplies “with assurances that all citizens of Mexico will be provided adequate supplies for all their needs,” according to negotiators. “This is a solution to a very tense and […]
What was WRONG with the Pharisees?
by Nathaniel Burson (Big Sandy, Texas) What was wrong with the Pharisees? Why did Christ condemn them? Was it for keeping the letter of the law? WHY would He condemn them for doing what HE, HIMSELF said? HE DIDN’T! He never condemned them for the righteous things they did! Matthew 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Notice He said that tithing of mint, anise, and […]

Dancing with God
Sent by Carolyn Klosowsky (Unknown) When I meditated on the word Guidance,I kept seeing “dance” at the end of the word.I remember reading that doing God’s will is a lot like dancing.When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.The movement doesn’t flow with the music,and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead,both bodies begin to flow with the music.One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the backor by pressing Lightly in one direction or another.It’s as if two become one body, moving beautifully.The dance takes surrender, willingness,and attentiveness from […]
Are We Walking with God?
by Alfio La Spina (Victoria British Columbia) Think about how Abraham handled difficult situations. Abraham had complete trust in God. When God told him to go to a place that He would show him he went and did not concern himself about where he was going. He had complete trust that God would take care of everything. It is amazing how God took care of Abraham. He will do the same for us as long as we keep our hearts focused on Him. This is the foundation of our salvation it allows our Father to shape us into useful vessels for […]
