The rich spiritual content of the book of Ruth, so meaningful during the Pentecost season, IS often overlooked. The English Bible does not reflect the original position of the book of Ruth. Today we find it sandwiched between the larger books of Judges and I Samuel. However, in the Old Testament as ...

Why did Jesus Christ express such concern toward those He called "lukewarm"? Why did He say He would rather they be "cold"? The young man's attitude and approach to Jesus Christ was not childlike! Jesus had just taken little children up in His arms, and blessed them. Jesus said ...

The late Sir Bertrand Russell declared: "Religion is based, I think, primarily and mainly upon fear." Presumably he would have agreed with the ancient Greek historian Polybius that the purpose of religion is to keep the masses in check. And one must admit that in many cases they had a point. So much ...

Personal from Herbert W Armstrong - Some of the teachings in the Bible are a little hard for the average thinking mind to understand. James tells us to count it all joy when trials, ordeals, reverses, beset us (Jas. 1:2). Troubles a JOY? That's pretty hard to accept, isn't it? And, for the avera ...

OK, SPORTS fans. Today's chalk talk is about a special kind of game. You'll never read about it on the sports page or hear Howard Cosell talk about it on TV. Yet it is the most popular game in the world. It isn't a spectator sport; it's the kind of game everybody can - and does - pla ...

The conspiracy aborted, we were able to concentrate on the task at hand, saving the Church. On Monday morning, January 8, I came to my office for the first time since the takeover. At the entrance to the building I ran a gauntlet of media people who had been keeping a day and night vigil outside. Tr ...

Question: A new book, The Passover Plot, suggests that Jesus, mistakenly believing Himself to be the promised Messiah, schemed throughout His life to manipulate people so that the Old Testament prophecies would be fulfilled. According to the book, Jesus planned to feign His death and resurrection. B ...

Just LOOK how far we have come since this decade began! And then look at what's JUST AHEAD! In the next four years, you are going to see STAGGERING EVENTS happening in this world, which few, even today, would believe! Yet, just beyond, in a way almost NO ONE today would believe, WORLD PEACE is com ...

Death-dealing tornados, rampaging floods, searing droughts - this is today's worldwide "weather report." Why must it be this way? What does the future hold? "The devastation is terrible! Ohio looks like it's been bombed!" exclaimed Governor James A. Rhodes, surveying the tornado-t ...

Facts about the MEGAPODE (big foot), a little-known Australian "brush turkey," have evolutionists wrangling. Seems they can't decide whether this rare bird is degenerate, over-specialized, or primitive. As a matter of fact - some of them wonder whether it's even a bird. In this special ...

What does it do and how do you get it? The Holy Spirit, according to the organized religions of this world, is the third person in the Godhead. BUT IS THAT TRUE? The belief in the Trinity is the heart and core - "the CENTRAL doctrine of the Christian religion" (The Catholic Encyclopedia, article "Tr ...

Here's how to avoid being an easy mark for theft and violence! It's exasperating and discouraging to be a victim of crime. I know, I've been a crime victim twice in recent months. Even though I constantly read about increasing crime, I was still jolted and upset when I became the victim. In bo ...

Few - even professing "Christians" - understand some of this Biblical terminology. Few understand the difference between being "saved by GRACE," and "rewarded according to WORKS." Here is a surprising sequel to the article, "What Do You Mean... Salvation?" in ...
