Dear Brethren and Co-Workers with Christ: First visited New Zealand. There I attended the Summer Educational camp for teenagers, held on an island just offshore from Auckland. There were about 150 teen campers there besides a number of Ambassador College students serving as counselors and camp assis ...

Higher biblical criticism has long been peddled among theologians and laymen alike. Many are affected by its theories. What is "higher" biblical criticism? Why should we be concerned about it? What motivates it? How does it work? Where did it come from? It's time to examine and explode t ...

Since its inception in 1934, The Plain Truth has consistently warned that an end-time union of ten nations in Europe - a "United States of Europe" - would rise within the bounds of the old Roman Empire. Now Europe's most powerful leaders are appealing to the past as a guide for the future. In Euro ...

More people are unhappy, miserable, depressed, discouraged, deep in debt, and violent during the holiday season than at any other time of the year. There is precious little peace on earth or goodwill among men. There doesn't seem to be much of Christ in the commercialized "Christmas" that began la ...

Healing in the world into which Jesus came and in the world today, out of which Christ has called us. Final summary. LET'S SEE IF we can pick up the loose ends and put them together. We need clearly to understand HEALING as Christ put it in His Church for us today. Today the medical profession int ...

What's happening to the "service professions"? Take a look at big city hotels, restaurants, cleaning establishments, cab lines, custodial businesses and bus lines - a subtle new pattern becomes obvious. Surly, disgruntled waiters; irritated, short-tempered clerks; careless, impersonal people strug ...

Then look at Easter. What means the term Easter itself? It is not a Christian name. It bears its Chaldean origin on its very forehead. Easter is nothing else than Astarte, one of the titles of Beltis, the queen of heaven, whose name, as pronounced by the people Nineveh, was evidently identical with ...

Does the Bible REALLY condemn such things as dancing, card playing, drinking, theatergoing? Here is a frank, straight-from-the-shoulder explanation of what GOD regards as "sinful." CAN YOU be a completely dedicated Christian without being some kind of "freak"? Without missing out on the interest and ...

Now God's law and government was the basis of God's character. His character is merely God's law in action; but it must be chosen voluntarily, and activated voluntarily, by the one who has it - or he couldn't become God. God Himself WILLS and has made the decision to have that kind of love i ...

Religion is difficult to divorce from politics, from science, from the space race, from the arms race, from international geopolitics, from the monetary crisis, or from the way of life as it is lived by millions of people in different countries all over the world. When you look at the world and its ...

God places an important responsibility on the leading members of His Church. If new people don't see us living God's way of life and benefiting from it, they won't buy it! 2 Corinthians 6:16, 18 "I will dwell in them and walk in them." What do they see and experience in us? Are they ...

The Pentecost question is one that can be made very complex and complicated. Also it can, and I feel should (especially before brethren), be made quite simple. To simplify it, I do NOT like to say the issue is WHETHER we count 50 days from a Sunday inclusively or exclusively. In ENGLISH, 50 days FRO ...

DO YOU realize God has purposely closed much of the Holy Bible from human understanding, until now? Look at the pitiful spectacle - hundreds of different sects and denominations, all confused and mixed up, each with its own different ideas, beliefs and practices - all disagreeing as to what the Bibl ...

WHY ISN'T the true gospel of Jesus Christ being preached today? Why haven't you heard Jesus' own gospel - the message He preached? Understand that JESUS came into the world not as a human philosopher or idealist, but as A MESSENGER DIRECT FROM GOD, the Creator of heaven and earth, the One who ...
