Proverbs 31 has been quoted over and over again as a description of the perfect woman. It has been used to show the wide range of activities such a paragon might engage in - how industrious and virtuous a good wife could be. But is Proverbs 31 still a viable model for ideal womanhood - can ...

GREETINGS, in the name of Jesus Christ! I have to tell you, now, about our most serious problem in God's work. I made some mention of this—or part of it—at the Feast of Tabernacles, both at Squaw Valley and at Gladewater. It is SERIOUS and it is URGENT, and so I hope you will, as a begotten child ...

Emerging from the swirling mists of antiquity are many traditions and legends of a prodigious tower "... so high that - its summit should reach the sky...." Can these accounts be corroborated and verified? What does the Bible say about it? THE "TOWER OF BABEL" is not the exclusive property of t ...

In the world today there are 961,122,000 professing Christians. "Christianity" is by far the LARGEST single religion on earth. Islam, the second largest, is not half as big. But how many in the Western world, which calls itself "Christian," understand what REAL CHRISTIANITY is? How many really KNOW ...

Today more time is spent in watching television than in working. Brutality in sports is taken for granted. America and Britain are going the way of Rome - and, like Rome, they don't know it! "'Let's live it up' has become the password of our time," writes noted sociologist Howard Whitman. Fa ...

Surprised? You wonder, "How could God ever forgive Samson after the wretched mess he made of his life?" The life of Samson has always made good Hollywood copy.

If the Bible is inspired by God it cannot contain errors. But critics continually cite supposed biblical contradictions and inaccuracies. Here are some examples that show God's Word is entirely correct. The Bible has been maligned and attacked by critics who claim that God's Word is full of erro ...

Marital squabbles aren't fun. But they need not be destructive if a couple knows how to "fight" correctly. Here are the rules. It comes as no surprise to hear that married couples have arguments. In fact, sometimes they have more than arguments. They have fights! But it isn't polite to ...

"Extreme unction," however, to a burdened soul, was but a miserable resource, after all, in the prospect of death. No wonder, therefore, that something else was found to be needed by those who had received all that priestly assumption could pretend to confer, to comfort them in the prospec ...

Once again, I am in this remarkable "new" country, ISRAEL. From now on, Jerusalem will be the pivotal CENTER of world news. While here, I want to bring you up-to-date on the almost unbelievable, exciting, and momentous things now happening in this great Work. GIANT doors have been opening ...

The world is full of many man-devised idols of bizarre appearance. But only one God IS God! The world abounds with homespun ideas of God. Men prostrate themselves before carved stones, wood or even photographs. But in fact, most of that to which mankind has affixed the label "God" has fallen far sho ...

ROME has fallen! The greatest power the world has ever known is trampled in the dust. The Empire that had conquered the world is herself conquered! Italy is overrun by Germanic tribes.

AFTER GIDEON was dead and Israel had again started slipping into idolatry, one of Gideon's many sons schemed to become king of Israel.
