God’s people are familiar with question asked by Christ in Luke 18:8, “When the Son of man comes, shall He find faith on the earth?” One PCG member told me that she cannot accept the point presented in the CGF booklet saying that Christ has already come secretly. I asked her, “Is it not written in the Bible that the Day of the Lord and Christ’s coming would be just like a ‘thief [...]
Over 300 competing churches claim to be God’s true Church! At one point or another, you probably wondered which Church is being led by Jesus Christ. If, like me, you have been baptized and have had hands laid on you, God our Father has given you the gift of His Holy Spirit! This puts you and me in a special category; that of being amongst His firstfruits who have been begotten into God’s [...]
THREE STEPS TO DEVELOPING PATIENCE Ask for God’s Holy Spirit daily. We need our strength and power replenished daily. Meditate on our future. There are a lot of negative things in the world. But there is positive gold to be found if we have the spiritual eyes to see it. We need to see how important our jobs will be. Be thankful for everything. Be content with what God has given you and [...]
PCG Armstrong College Graduate Minister asks Questions to PCG Members of the Church of Laodicea 1) Laodicean messenger / High Priest of Laodicea On the subject of the Laodicean messenger, page 35 of Malachi’s Message states the following: “If there is a Philadelphia-era human messenger, then logically, there is one for the Laodicean era also. Isn’t the Laodicean story really about the Laodicean messenger rejecting the Philadelphian messenger? The last specific warning to [...]
By Robert Ardis “The Day of the Lord!” What an exciting subject, especially when the Bible tells us it would come “as a thief in the night”—totally unannounced—a great secret known only by God the Father! And that great Day of the Lord would be ushered in by the Lord Himself, Jesus Christ, coming secretly and suddenly to His shattered and scattered Temple “as a thief”, in fulfillment of that greatest secret of [...]
Greetings brethren, this evening at sundown, this weekly Sabbath day will end, and we will enter into another day, which is very important to God. God is the Creator of all things, and the Creator of time. God set the sun, moon, and stars, according to His Will. As the sun goes down this evening, we will enter into the 24th day of the sixth month. This will be observed as a fast day, [...]
Good afternoon, brethren, to start this sermon, let us turn to Ephesians 6:11 — 13: 11 “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that [...]
Good morning, brethren, it is a beautiful Sabbath! This morning, brethren, I want to go back in time. I want us to look at something that happened in history, only about 67 years ago. This is something that is important, and can teach us a lesson. The date, December 1941, the place, Hawaii. Near Oahu, the Japanese attack force, under the command of Chuichi Nagumo, consisting of 6 carriers and 423 airplanes, is about [...]
Question: What is the position of the Church of God's Faithful (CGF) regarding fellowship/contact with friends/brethren who are in other fellowships? Answer: This question deserves a detailed answer and comes from a person who is deeply troubled by Gerald Flurry's insensitive command to Philadelphia Church of God (PCG) members that forbids any contact with anyone who is a former member of the PCG or the Worldwide Church of God (WCG) or the "daughter" churches. The [...]
Revelation 10:7 declares: "But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. The first verse of chapter 10 of the Book of Revelation begins an inset into the story flow of the Book until arriving at verse 14 of chapter eleven; then the continuity resumes. The Book of Revelation is [...]
Has the Law of God been blotted out? Has the Holy Sabbath Day been done away? Are Christians permitted to eat any and all kinds of meat? Didn't Jesus cleanse all meats? The answer to each of these questions is "NO" according to the Word of God! Yet today's Christian Churches teach the answer to these questions is "YES"! This article will explain how this difference has come about. Do you realize that some [...]
