Elijah
“Elijah fed by ravens” by Mikael Toppelius, 1775 Some words seem to bring up controversy no matter what. I’m all for having a passion and a zeal about God’s business, but sometimes we attach our emotions to the wrong things.

More Than Just About Arrival
Yesterday, I wrote about “The End of the Law”. The main point is that it is love that should drive us and motivate us to do what is pleasing in God’s sight. From there, the Law drives us to Christ in a loving and lasting relationship. But, that is still…
“The End of the Law”
4For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. (Romans 10:4, King James Version) When people say that Christianity is about relationship, they are correct. God created human beings in His image. He could have created robots or fleshly automatons, but instead He created…
COG – WA the Official Name?
I’ve been busy working (I’m not complaining about that, mind you), so I haven’t seen any of the webcasts yesterday or today. So, imagine my disappointment when I check all the official sources and even FB, and I see nothing on the name of the new organization. However, James Malm…
What’s In a Name? And What Is a Peaceful Separation, Anyhow?
Well, the Church of God – a Worldwide Association has been meeting since Sunday (earlier, if you count the “pre-meeting meetings”) to discuss structure, organization and a name.

On the Lighter Side
Recent Internet sightings: HWA memorabilia on sale on eBay for $13.50. Of course, the person selling it probably got it for free. UCG says, “You made a smart decision to check out UCG as the next step in your career. We have created this web page to tell you about…
Go To Your Brother Series
Well, this isn’t exactly sanctioned, so let’s see how long it lasts. This is a very old “Compass Check” series done by the rebellious, radical rogue Clyde Kilough of all people. That in itself begs all sorts of questions, many of which I don’t have the answer to, but…
Transparency vs Privately
Recent events and topics have had me thinking a lot about Mt 18. I don’t even have to mention the verses, do I? Well, at any rate, I’ll quote them all the same. 11For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. 12How think ye? if…
