Do we really understand why we keep them? And do we understand this particular festival of the Feast of Unleavened Bread thoroughly? You know, we have an entirely different situation today than they did in the days of Jesus and the first original, first century, apostles. I think that we have heard ...

Did the Protestant reformers get back to the "faith once delivered"? Were they led by God's Holy Spirit? The naked FACTS in this series of articles are a revelation of long-hidden truth! The startling fact that rank paganism came in and took over the early professing Christian church is ...

Many have never understood how God came to predestinate and call YOU, me and other members to various functions, offices and administrations in HIS CHURCH in our time.

In these days of doubt and challenge to traditional beliefs, it's hard to know what to accept. Was Jesus Christ a myth as some say? Or did He truly exist? Can He be found in history?

What do you think was the sin most frequently condemned by Christ? I'll repeat that, what sin do you think was most frequently condemned by Christ?

Remember back to your high school days when there was a particular group you wanted to break into. Maybe it was the athletic clique, or perhaps the scholar's corner, or the popular cheerleader's circle. How painful it was when you were rejected because you didn't quite meet their standards. Wh ...

The progression of prophetic events in Revelation is temporarily interrupted after the sixth angel blows his trumpet (the second "woe") (Rev. 9:13-21). Revelation now gives us two inset chapters. They bring the reader up to date on a very important happening during the last days. That landmark ...

Greetings everyone! I know a lot of people have been drawn many different directions the last few days, but many are very loyal and encouraging. I hope all of you are trying to be loyal and encouraging through the trials we're going through. And we certainly all need each other's prayers. Bre ...

Two good books in this area are A History of the Holy Land, Michael AviYonah, editor, and Daniel to Pad, Gaalyahu Cornfel ...

The 1980 presidential election campaign is in full swing—and red-hot! On August 27 the candidates were DEBATING on HOW to debate! They accuse each other, promise what they think will win votes. But inflation and unemployment continue. World troubles escalate. Even the Soviet Union has serious troubl ...

Having opened a little-used desk drawer, I came across an accumulation of sermon and sermonette notes from services I had attended years ago. As I nipped through the yellowing pages, my eyes fell on certain powerful and unforgettable messages. Memories flooded my mind while words came to life once a ...

The tragedies of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during those frightful days in 1945 were "in the interest of peace" Yet, today, twenty- five years later, would peace still escapes us. We see only the prospects of war. Why? The scourge of war is almost as old as man! Every known means of exterminating an ene ...
