–> Greetings everyone, Christ spoke of what world conditions would be like at the end of the age in Luke 21, one of the gospels accounts. He spoke of false Christs, war among earth’s nations, earthquakes, famines, pestilences, signs in heaven and persecutions. Many of these events and situations have occurred through time. But today…

–> Greetings, King David declared that God’s law made him wiser than his enemies and gave him more understanding than his teachers (Psalm 119:98-99). He saw the law as the source of truth and that truth provided great peace. These are powerful concepts in David’s mind that helped him to see God in a very…

–> Greetings, It is ever so human to allow adversity in our lives to cause us to doubt. Especially to doubt our relationship with God. “Surely if I were in good standing with God, this adversity would not be happening. God must not be pleased with me.” This mindset certainly has deep Protestant roots, but…

–> Greetings, What does time mean to you or me? What did it mean to people in Noah’s or Lot’s day? A minute would have been 60 seconds; an hour would have been sixty minutes; a day would have been twenty-four hours, etc. They would have had their own terminology for a particular span of…

–> Greetings, Cliff Veal is currently on a trip to Africa and Madagascar. He has already been with brethren in Rwanda and was happy to report that one of our members there, Kakuze, who had been operated on for severe gall bladder problems last year, is doing much better. She has no more pain, but…

–> Greetings, Context is important when studying the Bible as we all know. Word usage generally is helped when a context is clearly understood. Such is the case with the Greek word ekklesia. We use this word within the church context and it is familiar to us. But it is not a word derived from…

Kind regards, Brian Orchard

–> The Blue Bells of England and Hope England in the spring is a sight to behold. The weather in general in this part of the world is known for being rainy, often cool and generally not very inviting. That is all true, but it does have an upside. Because of the overabundance of moisture,…

–> Greetings all, Have you ever watched an arrow in flight? Most of us, if only in our youth at summer camp, have launched arrows or observed others doing so. It is not as easy as it looks to get one to strike the target dead center. When it does happen, it’s awesome. An avid…

–> Greetings, We can observe some interesting parallels between how Satan works in the world in general and the tactics he uses to try and destroy God’s Church. We are not ignorant of his devices (2 Corinthians 2:11). Satan will try to divide God’s people any way he can. An article appeared in the Times…

–> Greetings, It’s good for us to remind ourselves every day about why we are here. Mr. Herbert Armstrong began many of his messages with that very question, “Why are we here?” It’s an extremely important question because it’s answer is so calming and uplifting in a world that is growing more stressful and dangerous…

–> Greetings, The “frog in the water” analogy is well-known to most of us. It is a picturesque myth highlighting the fact that many simply don’t see the change happening around them. The analogy rings true because it makes a point that we can see in everyday life. The human mind has an inclination toward…
