–> 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.

–> Greetings, It would appear from the daily events which unfold around us, both locally and internationally, that human nature is becoming more and more unrestrained.

inney and I addressed a question we received on the subject of why we as a Church group have not been more specific about appropriate dress and grooming for services and on the use of makeup. We thought it might be helpful to share the main part of our response. I would like to preface…

–> Many have wondered how the Veal/Stiver trip has been going and the following will bring you up to date as of November 1. We were all expertly chauffeured around London then through the Euro Tunnel underneath the English Channel without incident by Mr. Veal – despite him driving on the wrong side of the…
