Greetings, There is nothing more sure in God’s Church than change. In the second and third chapters of Revelation, Christ stresses that it is the overcomers, the changers, who will have their names written in the Book of Life and who will sit with Christ on His throne. So, change toward God and away from…

God wants us all to grow spiritually – both as a group and individually. How we grow individually depends on how much we as children of God invest in the process. In other words, to achieve the level of spiritual maturity that God desires for us, it is important that we realize our personal responsibility.…

The Kingdom of God – An important Element of the Gospel The world has been successively ruled by kingdoms. From a biblical perspective we see this clearly outlined by Daniel as he explains to the Babylonian king the contents of the king’s dream. Daniel told Nebuchadnezzar, “…For the God of heaven has given you a…

Greetings, Gridlock in the physical realm, such as we see within politics today, more often than not is deadlock. Nothing will change until a compromise is struck. And compromise, by its nature, inevitably leads to the further denigration of standards that, at one time, might have been called godly. Chaos, stress and disorder are the…

His strengths and weaknesses are laid bare for us to see. The overall sense that we gain from his life is that he was a man after God’s own heart (Acts 13:22). This tells us a…

We would like to see our nations, our local communities and particularly our churches and families more united. Unfortunately, we live in an environment where some…

We are told that in God’s estimation it was “very good.” God rebuilt this perfect earthly environment out of the destruction caused by Satan’s rebellion. The pinnacle of…

–> I wanted to take a few minutes and provide an update on the Church of God – The Father’s Call organization structure. One of the strong beliefs that we have held as we began organizing as a group, was the need to be very careful of mixing the normal business and administration of the…

–> Greetings, I recently read an interesting observation in regard to human conduct. “We have the liberal freedom of unrestrained personal behavior.” This is an intriguing statement for members of God’s Church to consider. Liberal freedom is usually applied to progressive political reform emphasizing individual rights and liberties. It is most commonly presented as the…

–> Greetings, Perspective is a marvelous thing, isn’t it? One of its many definitions is: a true understanding of the relative importance of things; a sense of proportion. If we hear a child or a grandchild cry in a particular way, we can know if it’s a cry of pain or fear, anger, attention or…

–> Greetings, Recently I have had the opportunity to visit several church areas and spend time with a number of members. Many are experiencing stressful trials and difficult circumstances in their lives. We are reminded by some of the apostle Paul’s comments in his letters that there is nothing new in this. Paul began his…
