One of them had turned on the gas ...

Sometime ago I read two stories in the evening newspaper with special interest. One had to do with the Popular expression: "the only good Jap is a dead Jap."

I wonder how many fully realize the stark seriousness of this time - that we are now entering the supreme CRISIS of ALL-TIME! What is the true MEANING of the world condition today?

In this column, written just for true believers, I wrote in the September-October number of the terrible persecution - even martyrdom - that impends for God's really converted people. In Revelation 6:9-11 we are told that the plagues of God's judgment on "Babylon" will not be poured ou ...

Not only does America stand in immediate peril, unrealized by our people, but YOU, as a true Christian and child of God, face undreamed - of persecution - even martyrdom - in the months that lie just ahead! WHY are we heedless of impending danger? It need not come to YOU; for God freely offers you f ...

It is a great joy, to those of under standing, to look ahead into that glorious happy future, AFTER Christ has come! But we are still living, now, in the last climactic days of this present evil age. And we are face to face with stern FACTS! The question is, will we race the facts, acknowledge them, ...

Some people look upon Christianity as something to PUT OFF, if possible, until a last-minute death-bed confession - assuming that thus they can enjoy life, and still escape the tortures of hell.

Heart transplants are forcing doubts about the definition of death. There is growing tendency to make abortions legal. Many are asking if medical science is going too far.

What has the world today got to do with the world tomorrow? What is your life now got to do with the future? Say 100 years from now when you die, what happens next? Theologians have all kinds of real interesting ideas. Some of them are so hilarious; they really are funny. Have you ever heard about g ...

Can you quote any verses to substantiate whether or not the Bible says heaven is the place people go to when they die? Can your preacher quote any such verse? I have the verses that most ministers use to quote right here. We'll take a look at those verses, and we will see they don't promise heav ...
