Yesterday, AC posted on UCG Current Crisis the article “Expansion of International Ambassador Outreach Mission”. In short, it will now be a channel for providing financial backing for organizations in the US as well as internationally. The actual IAO site is http://IAOutreach.org. Standard disclaimers all around. Technorati Tags: cog,church of…
Even I have to admit I’m surprised at the results of the Sabbath poll. Should Dennis Luker give a sermon specific to *practical* applications and challenges on keeping the Sabbath? Yes, it is past due = 47% Might be interesting = 9% *Yawn* = 18% There is nothing he can…
Even on the road, bad news travels fast. I cannot find the original on the AC website, but COG Writer Dr Robert Thiel wrote “UCG loses 8 ministers in November” on the blog Church of God News. It appears it was written before the resignation of Jon Pinelli, which someone…
[Ugh! Why do Blogger templates mess up the formatting so much?] I had pondered previously about why David Buchanan’s letter got such a wide circulation and yet I had not seen Erik Jones’ entire letter. Well, I now have a copy, and it is republished below in its entirety. Afterwards,…

I guess after “Weinland, Stumbling and Bumbling, but…
I cancelled the article I was going to post today. It just didn’t seem right. I feel we are at a crossroads. UCG is certainly at a crossroads, but even the United States and the rest of the world. It makes me think of an interesting verse, one in which…
Yesterday, I received the latest Legacy Letter, a newsletter put out by Leon Sexton of Legacy Institute. He begins by explaining how the intent of Thanksgiving was for the Pilgrims “to THANK GOD” (emphasis his) for delivering them and their little ones from oppression and helping them to survive in…
An anonymous comment recently asked if I had read the posting by Abigail Cartwright of “Review of Paper ‘Fasting, Prayer and the Will of God’”. I admitted that I had only skimmed it over once. I have since re-read it, and here are my thoughts. First of all, the “Fasting…
Strawmen, strawmen! Everywhere strawmen! You would think people would be tired of illogical explanations by now! The Sabbath paper brought up the subject of arctic circles. Well, apparently John Elliot at UCG did learn what a bad idea it was to try to establish doctrine based upon the exceptions rather…
