London, the capital of violent crime? You must be joking! Why only a very few years ago one could walk these historic city streets in relative safety. But no more. London is beginning to look more and more like Houston, Texas, and New York City every single day. "The Capital of Crime," scr ...

We believe that there is but one God, who is a Spirit — the Creator of all things — the Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in us of who is to be worshipped in spirit and in truth — upon whom we are continually dependent, and to whom we ascribe praise for our life, food, raiment, h ...

THINK of it! NEVER BEFORE in modern history such a ghastly unthinkable tragedy as the MASS SUICIDE of more than 900 people! In a ritualistic "religious" ceremony, parents administering a mixed drink of fruit juice and cyanide, then watching their little ones writhe in piercing painful conv ...

Another of America's great men is dead. Another old soldier is gone. Somehow, the death of General Dwight David Eisenhower touched a still tender part of the American heart and perhaps it signalled the passing of more than just a man. It was fully expected - for months we had known any morning's ...

I've heard many people talk about sin, but they leave me wondering what sin is - what it is a person must give up as a Christian. I want to change and give my life to God, but I don't know what to repent of. When I look at my past, it seems to me I've been a lot better than some people I know. ...

I saw a very interesting cartoon the other day. The subject is a representation of the Ten Commandments on the usual two tablets of stone, and all over the face of it are remarks, queries, corrections, and suggestions, as if made by an editor going over copy for possible publication. The implication ...

Her eyes were alive with excitement and her face, although somewhat flushed by a flurry of activity, was fresh and radiant as she greeted me with an enthusiastic, "Hi! How have you been?" Her hurried planning was in preparation for a dinner honoring those responsible for Outreach, a program ...

I have just returned to my hotel from a 45-minute audience with His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince of Japan. Last Tuesday and Wednesday I was in Okinawa. I had gone there at the suggestion of Prime Minister Sato of Japan. It may well be called one of the trouble spots of the world. When I was he ...

God gives us all strong encouragement in our struggle to succeed in our Christian lives. Is God's plan to reproduce Himself a bizarre idea that has no chance of success? Is it just a grand experiment that will end in a molten mass amidst consuming flame? Will God and Christ then be alone in the un ...

SHOULD CHRISTIANS OBSERVE CHRISTMAS? What is its real origin? Does it really celebrate the birthday of Christ? What does the Bible say about the Christmas tree? Where did we get our Christmas? Did we get it out of the Bible? Or did Christ or the Apostles institute it? Is it truly a Christian institu ...

Which FAMILY must the Christian put first - the natural human family or the GOD Family into which he is begotten? IF YOU ARE really a Christian, you are a begotten child of God - begotten into the GOD FAMILY. God says, through the apostle John, "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it dot ...

Exactly three days and three nights after His death on the stake, Jesus Christ of Nazareth stepped through a solid rock tomb, having been transformed instantaneously back into spirit life. Once again He was able to step back into space - a completely different dimension. But what has your Savior bee ...

Why is it that societies which know the least about the Bible most often treat their elderly better than those which claim to know most about the Bible? "I sat up all night. I didn't close my eyes. I couldn't sleep," Mattie complained. "A woman in another cell was yelling all night, an ...

If you turn "green" with envy at the success of others, then here, from God's Word, are a few points you should consider. It was almost like a carnival. Several energetic bystanders had climbed nearby trees and were waving enthusiastically. Other watchers had cut branches from the trees ...

It is Tuesday morning July l9th. We are in flight in our G II from Tokyo to Hong Kong. We have on board one of my "Japanese sons"—a high member of the Japanese Diet, with his very charming wife and two of their three sons. Last Sabbath we had a private dinner in the private dining room con ...
