We saw in Part 1 that it’s the attitude that makes all the difference. God will save the righteous, the ones who are willing to sacrifice and the ones who aren’t in it to save their own hides. God will save the ones who exhibit brotherly love, which doesn’t mean…
“When thou seest the abomination of desolation, thou shalt flee to Petra.” OK, I confess that it doesn’t say that. I made that up. However, some would speak as though the Bible says it just that clearly. We are not definitely told that Christians will flee to Petra during the…
This is just too good not to share! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/6489418/Planned-Parenthood-leader-resigns-after-watching-abortion-ultrasound.html
In the past, UCG had a controversy with a couple of its ministers because they strayed from the official line on evangelism. Many COG organizations teach that the Gospel is to be spread by the ministry and not by its lay people. Some have even publicly stated that they do…
It appears that there is an alternative to reading Robert Thiel’s Church of God News blog by another LCG member, Wallace Smith. It’s called Thoughts En Route.

My wife and I are currently reading through Exodus together. While we look at the symbolism once a year anyhow, it seems that the full impact doesn’t hit you unless you actually read the story. The metaphor for Pharaoh being a type for Satan goes deeper than some would treat…
I’m such a geek, as if you didn’t know. The nice thing about wiping out your hard drive and staring over is that you can set it back up the way you want it (after you’ve learned the hard way all the ways you don’t want it, that is) from…
Recently, David Ben-Ariel posted the article “Truth About Makeup”. I really mean he “posted” it and not “wrote” it, as it is a recycling job of one of Herbert W Armstrong’s (HWA) articles. Well, here is an interesting quote from that article: The English word "lipstick" is not used anywhere…
I appreciate the prayers and emails. I’m feeling better. It wasn’t serious, but it did develop into bronchitis. It’s just sort of odd that I don’t even get back into the routine of everything after the Feast, and then I get thrown off course again. Like I said, nothing serious,…
