“The current coronavirus outbreak is the biggest challenge for the world since World War II, UN Secretary General António Guterres has warned.” The public reaction to the current pandemic spreads across a wide spectrum. Apart from the handling of the disease itself, many moral issues are being raised. For a long time now, morality has…

In the midst of the coronavirus disaster, we are hearing many voices. The fact that the virus at the center of the crisis has many unknowns increases the cacophony. We hear experts contradicting each other, politicians leveraging the situation and the world’s top medical professionals doing their best to inform the public. All of this…

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…

Much is being written and said about the coronavirus disease, known as COVID-19. It is being regarded as an imminent global threat and perhaps a forerunner of further emerging infectious diseases. One recent article written by a Clinical Professor and Associate Director of Animal Diagnostic Laboratory, Pennsylvania State University, cited three reasons for this particular…

Probably most of us would agree that the world we live in today is deteriorating at an alarming rate. But why? The answer to that question has obvious spiritual implications, doesn’t it?  We can all agree, no doubt, that the god of this world, who is described as the “prince of the power of the…

Let us take a short walk back in time. As we began on this journey which became known as the Father’s Call, we had certain objectives in mind. Specifically, to understand how God’s government should function at the human level. The roles of the Father and Christ are without question. Christ, under the authority of…

Do you sometimes wonder if God is listening to you? Does it seem like your prayers are going unanswered? We have all experienced this at one time or another. Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that the remedy is found in Christ’s example. One of the great and endearing aspects of Christ’s life is what…

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.…

IT is difficult to ignore major events swirling around us on a daily basis. Their magnitude seeks our attention, particularly when they fit the general description of prophetic events. I find myself checking world news sources each morning with the anticipation of what else happened overnight. Since we are powerless to change the course of…

GOD has a plan for mankind. He has a plan for each and every one of us. He has called us into His Church…. to be part of His family, to be able to enjoy the blessings of His way of life. God wants us to be successful. But there is another spiritual being that…

“A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success.” The author of that statement is unknown, but what can be known is that there is a lot of wisdom in it. The author did not say that offering praise after a success is bad – it’s not,…

WELL, the brothers are at it again! The two sons of Abraham were half-brothers, as they had different mothers. The way they were raised produced an animosity between them that exists to this day and may have a bearing on events shortly ahead of us. Abram, as he then was called, was told by God…
