God's annual festivals remind us how He is working out His master plan for mankind, step by step. The first three festivals - Passover, the Days of Unleavened Bread and Pentecost - picture events leading to the first spiritual "harvest" of Spirit - begotten human beings into God's univ ...

Is it wrong to listen to a fellow-member who disagrees with the ministers? To attend other churches? To listen to other religious broadcasts? To admit "Jehovah Witnesses?"

Flood 2325/2324 B.C. Tishri reckoning. Birth of Abram 1972 B.C. Covenant in 99th year 1873 B.C., Nisan 15. Exodus 1443 B.C., 430 years later.

Recapturing the True Values of Sex - the Commanded Functions. IT ASSUREDLY IS EVIDENT BY NOW that sex was designed neither as some-thing evil, filthy and degrading - nor, on the other hand, to be used in premarital, extramarital, homosexual or other manner of perversion. Beyond Comprehension, Sex di ...

SEEING their leader walk out of sight up smoking Mount Sinai had a strange effect on many of the people. Even though quaking with awe, their curiosity was so strong that they wanted to follow Moses. Before he could get very far up the mountain, God ordered him back. Moses Rushes Down. "People are tr ...

THE LIGHT IN THE DARK AGES. FEW understand the prophecies relating to God's Church throughout history. Most churches and their commentaries IGNORE these prophecies, explain around them, or deny they have any prophetic meaning. But why? Could it be because PROPHECY EXPOSES THE FAKES? GOD'S Church ...

NOW YOU HAVE, in brief, the missing half of sex knowledge. In all books pretending to impart information about sex, the half from God's revelation should have come first, as, indeed, it has been placed first here. The Foundation, it has, in this book, been emphasized that the Holy Bible is the FOU ...

In just continuing where we left off last Sabbath, and I brethren could not speak unto you, now he's speaking you remember to the Church at Corinth and remember as I said last week this is just a continuing of the letter, we just left off with part of the letter and we're going right on this is ...

Sabbath services had ended and I was in a hurry to get home, my mind savoring the pot roast and strawberry shortcake awaiting me there . Why are people bunching up in the aisle again, I asked myself, and what is holding up this line? Eventually weaving my way up toward the front of the line the ...

Again we find it necessary to publish the basic principles explaining which laws are still in force. Here is how you can know which laws in the Old Testament were changed or abolished, and which we are commanded to observe today! LETTERS from new members often ask us, "How can I know the difference ...

Grandma Wilson gave Major a whole-wheat pancake. He began to take big bites out of it as Jim came downstairs for his breakfast. "Good morning, Jimmy," called out both Grandma and Grandpa Wilson. Major waved a greeting with his tail. "Good morning," Jim replied with a yawn. He accepted a kiss ...

The count for the Holy Day offering is not yet complete and will not be for another day or two. However, with 293 Churches, the results so far are very encouraging. To date the Offering has almost duplicated last year's offering. However, with 42 Churches yet to call in this year's Trumpets offe ...

"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations," Jesus commanded His disciples, "baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19). This plain, direct command of Jesus Christ certainly sounds simple enough, doesn't it? ...

UNTIL NOW, I have not been able to give a clear, concise explanation of precisely WHAT and WHY is the CHURCH. And WHY NOT? People naturally and normally think only of and about physical and material things. People do not realize it, but they have been CUT OFF from God! The human mind, unless and unt ...

Revelation 19:20-21 states those who receive the mark of the beast or worship his image are slain by Christ at His second coming. How can people without the Holy Spirit escape the destruction? It says elsewhere you can serve only one master, either God or Satan. - You tell me that Christ died ...
