One of the most important doctrines Jesus Christ has put in His Church is that of the "Old" and "New Covenants." WHY should these be misunderstood? For that matter, WHY should the Sabbath truth, the annual Holy Days and festivals, tithing, healing or even salvation? Yet they are misunderstood. God h ...

Philippians 1:1 (RSV used throughout) Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the bishops and [the] deacons.

I want to tell you, my friends, the scientists that have been developing these great terrifying weapons of destruction are themselves very, ...

I find it impossible to believe that a Minister of Jesus Christ could at the same time be THIEF — STEALING FROM GOD! Nearly all ministers and 98% of brethren have been LOYAL. Yet during recent years "liberals" have risen up in the Church, watering down the laws of God. ...
