11And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first…
“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.
The latest crisis in United Church of God an International Association (UCGia, or UCG for short) seems to indicate that the Churches of God organizations will continue to get smaller and smaller.
