We went around the Old City yesterday and looked down on the Garden of Gethsemane. They saw a little passing at the Place of the Skull, and I wanted to go afterwards to the Garden Tomb. I just thought I would read about that, but they don't feel able to come in. Well, I thought I would just read a ...

This world is in very deep trouble such as it never was before, know it's been several months already since the atomic scientists have come out and moved the Doomsday Clock forward one more minute from four to only three minutes till midnight and still counting. I've mentioned that several times ...

How many of you, brethren, have learned the vital lesson of true loyalty? Just what is loyalty? How can members of the Church of God develop this most essential character trait? You need to know - because no one will enter the Kingdom of God unless he has learned to be totally loyal to his Creator i ...

"... be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear" (I Peter 3:15). What was Jesus - the Son of God - like as a human being? It may come as a surprise to some that the sad, longhaired, weak-looking Jesus portrayed in m ...

Exactly what caused the death of Jesus Christ? Did His heart rupture as professing Christianity assumes? Did He suffocate? Or did He just pretend to be dead, and did His disciples later resuscitate Him? Can anyone know? And how important is it anyway? To BECOME the Savior of mankind, Jesus Chri ...

Behold, a sower went forth to sow: and it came to pass, as he sowed, that some seed fell by the wayside, and the birds came and devoured it. And others fell on the rocky ground, where it had not much earth [not much depth of any kind or was no good soil]; and straightway it sprang up, because it had ...

Just what is "The Church?" What is its object and purpose — its real mission? Is it an ORGANIZATION, or a spiritual ORGANISM, composed of those saints whose names are written in heaven, and who have, and are led by, the Holy Spirit? And, granting it is not just some one organization, ...ye ...

"Organization" and "evil" are not synonymous! As we saw proved in the last issue, God's true Church is organized and fitly framed together as a tightly knit body, constituted for a great purpose - to preach the gospel of Christ's soon-coming Kingdom to all the world as a witness! God is ...

Once a year, Christians are commanded to follow the example of Jesus Christ in performing the foot-washing ceremony He instituted on the eve of His crucifixion. But why? When men and women wore sandals - shoes open at the toes and on top - and commonly went barefoot as they walked the dusty an ...

Among other things, the Bible, believe it or not, is a book about money! Almost from one end to the other - from the account of Abraham's tithing and the spoiling of the kings (Gen. 14) right on down to the very last book which describes gold, silver and precious jewelry in the New Jerus ...

A 1984 British television series called Jesus: The Evidence left viewers to question how much of the New Testament is fact, how much fantasy. Can we trust the written records of the early church? Did its members distinguish between legend and fact? Did they leave us an authoritative record of what J ...

And now my friends, prepare yourselves to hear the most wonderful sermon ever preached, at least that's what people have always called it. The Sermon on the Mount has been called the most wonderful sermon ever preached but do you understand it, do you know what it says? Very few have ever understo ...

The greatest Passover since apostolic days is just ahead! Last year, some brethren "forgot" this commanded assembly! STUDY this article - and REMEMBER the Passover! "LET me color this one, Mommy!" said little Mary, holding a hard-boiled egg in her tiny little hand. "Mommy" was busily preparing ...

Now, to see just what He did preach, the example that He did set, what the early Church under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and the leadership of the Apostles did believe and what they did preach and the customs they did follow, we are once again going through the first four books of the New Te ...
