It is apparent that recent events have revealed how unprepared governments were for the unexpected. Although there have been epidemics in the past (remember SARS?), there has been a distinct lack of preparation for a similar or greater pandemic. Does that read like a commentary of the Church of God? How prepared are we for…

What kind of leader is Jesus Christ? One of great love and compassion. He has tremendous love for all human beings. In Matthew chapter 23, we can read of that compassion. “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your…

In Jeremiah 17:9 we read the following: “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; Who can know it?” Oh no! Does this refer to followers of God’s also? It basically refers to those without God… but those who are making a diligent effort to truly follow God do not get away scot-free.…
