by

(Copyright 2023) by John W. Ritenbaugh (Lancaster, South Carolina)   Branded on our minds is the idea that I Corinthians 15 is the Resurrection Chapter, and indeed, resurrection is its major theme.

by

(Copyright) by Richard M. Riss (Madison, New Jersey) During the first century, many women were active in Christian ministry.  Acts 21:9 mentions the four virgin daughters of Philip the evangelist as prophetesses who lived in his home at Caesarea, where Paul and his associates visited during his third missionary journey.

by

(Copyright 2023) by John Reiss (Charlotte, North Carolina)   The weeks before heading into the fall holy day season are an appropriate time to review what the church has learned over the decades about God’s appointed times and how they fit into His plan.

The Pragmatic Japanese

by

(Copyright 2021) by Richard T. Ritenbaugh (Charlotte, North Carolina)   Most neighborhoods in suburban America are densely packed affairs with houses standing perhaps as little as twenty feet apart.

We can’t see the stars for the nebulae – it’s all just theoretical

by

(Copyright 2021) by David Rives (Lewisburg, Tennessee)   Why should you believe in creation, and not evolution? I mean, scientifically speaking.

Leadership in the Church of God

by

(Copyright) by James McBride (United Kingdom) What principles guide leadership in the Church of God? That question might disturb some brethren, for it implies that the church can be ‘led’. Should it?

Fellowship? With Whom?

by

(Copyright) by Royce Mitchell, Jr. (Manvel, Texas) That is a good question! Who exactly should we welcome into our fellowship? Should we fellowship with just anyone? Should we limit it to those who exactly share our opinions of what scripture means? Should our fellowship be confined to those who attend our own group? Or should […]

Insight from Paul

by

(Copyright 2022) by James McBride (United Kingdom) The apostle Paul’s letters shed a bright light on our walk with God. Our world is fast becoming the mirror image of the world of the apostle.

It Worked Last Time

by

(Copyright 2023) by Rich Traver (Clifton, Colorado) Someone sent me this.  Hopefully, it’s bunk, but they ARE getting pretty desperate.  Society in large part fell for it last time, and that facilitated many aspects of the sinister agenda against we the people.  We now know that the panic conditions were hugely ramped-up. Predictions of massive numbers […]

Another Look at Footwashing

by

(Copyright 2002) by Bill Keesee (Charlotte, North Carolina)  In the thirteenth chapter of his gospel, the apostle John records a ceremony that Christ performed and instituted on the very last night of His life.
