The idea that a country would have no official religion was a very progressive one in the 1700s. What we find, though, is that it is a anomaly today as well. There is a religion that denies its own existence (sound like the tactics of anyone we might know?). It…
“God works in mysterious ways”. Is that just a saying? Many of you know that I sort of grew up in the Church. I was probably 12 when we started attending. I have seen all sorts of attitudes come and go over time. Some people were fun loving, caring and…
The dishonest handling of the Biblical text never ceases to amaze me. This literal reading implies that God specially created Adam and Eve from dust, and that all humans are descended from these original parents.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; ~ 2Ti 4:3 I find it interesting that people seem to be afraid to listen to dissenting opinion. Whatever happened to the “marketplace of…
I read in the Issue 134 April 30, 1990 Journal News of the Churches of God that “PCG Buys Swans in Flight”. Previously, I had read about this on the Church of God News site under “PCG Acquires Big Sandy Sculpture”. I wasn’t sure why then, but something about the…
