I Want to be there for that Number!
(Copyright) by Jeffrey Caldwell (Arkansas) Our Pastor’s wife came back from a Christian celebration of the feast of tabernacles with a precious Scriptural passage that previously had not been embedded in my thinking. It is in the little book of Zephaniah … Zephaniah 3:16-17. As it reads in the New Living Translation: “On that day the […]
Representative Government is an Israelite Institution
(Copyright 10-06-2024) by Jeffrey Caldwell (Arkansas) In His last sermon (Deuteronomy 1:1) Moses says to the nation of Israel, likely a few million at that time: “Choose some well-respected men from each tribe who are known for their wisdom and I will appoint them as your leaders. “Then you responded, ‘Your plan is a good […]
The Bible
(Copyright 10-06-2024) by Jeffrey Caldwell (Arkansas) There is an unbiblical “convention” or “tradition” in Christendom, dividing the Scriptures into two major portions known as “Old Testament” and “New Testament” — which is unbiblical. Those terms are NEVER used by Jesus nor by His apostles. Those who gave us what WE call the “New Testament’ never […]
Holiness
(Copyright 10-06-2024) by Jeffrey Caldwell (Arkansas) For months now I have been writing to thousands of the leaders and churches of Christendom, of all denominations, everyone I could get an email address for, now in many states from Maine to Georgia, which I’m working on now, having written to about 30 denominations so far in […]
A Prayer for the Election
(Copyright 10-06-2024) by Jeffrey Caldwell (Arkansas) A Facebook post of August 9, 2024, a prayer for the election: Many of our religious tradition believe we should not vote, but we all believe that we should pray. Paul’s first letter to Timothy commends prayers for all people, a neglected teaching. I suppose this would be in the category of prayers […]

Recently came confirmation that an ancient seal from Samaria belonged to […]
A Question for Christians About the Sabbath
(Copyright) by Jeffrey Caldwell (Arkansas) Almost all who profess to be Christians these days believe that observing the weekly seventh day Sabbath is not the true Christian faith, and, presumably, thus not an aspect of what Jude calls “your most holy faith” (Jude 20, New International Version). Scripture says that at Creation “on the seventh day” […]
Christ on the Sabbath
(Copyright 2023) by Jeffrey Caldwell (Arkansas) Christ, in His earthly ministry, has much to say about the Sabbath. But Christ’s most significant Sabbath precept is the most neglected. Christ originated the Sabbath and certainly understands God’s holy purposes for its holiness (Genesis 2:2-3, John 1:1-3). Jesus underscores God’s purpose for creating the Sabbath in telling us: […]
