  1. 31st October 2009
  2. Wyatt Ciesielka

To encourage Congress to pass the "Elder Justice Act," a video documentary chronicling elder abuse was shown on October 19 on Capitol Hill.  Among other heart-wrenching accounts, the documentary told of Vicki Bastion, aged 92, of Hayward, California, who installed a security gate inside her home to protect her and her few remaining valuables from her grandson...

  1. 27th October 2009
  2. Gary F. Ehman (1937–2021)

The headlines glaringly scream: "Sex Offenders See New Limits for Halloween"; "Plan Ahead and Avoid Halloween Violence"; "Halloween: A Very Dangerous Day for Children"; "Halloween Costumes Cause Pedestrian Accidents"; "Police Warn about Drugged Candy." It's that time of the year again; pumpkins, witches, goblins, black cats, bats and vampires swirl around in the...

Walking a wall

  2. J. Davy Crockett III

It was a gray, chilly morning with soft, intermittent rain falling, which cleared to a blustery, cold, sunny afternoon as we visited the ancient walled city of Chester in England. This place was settled by the Romans over 2000 years ago as an outpost in the British Isles.

Make a Chain

  2. J. Davy Crockett III

“If it bleeds, it leads” seems to be the rule that newspapers, television and other news sources use today—and they have no shortage of heinous crimes and tragic occurrences to write about. Rape, robbery, murder, extortion, corruption in political and business circles and other acts of crime and violence seem to permeate all strata of our society. Abductions,...

Someone or something to worship

  1. 20th October 2009
  2. James W. Sweat

The adulation and hysteria surrounding the [almost new] American president is beginning to wane. That is, until the recent news video from New Jersey showing school children singing praises to President Obama.  From the onset of his candidacy to the inauguration, every appearance, every interview, and every public statement, had many of the masses and media...

Nimrod's promise

  1. 17th October 2009
  2. Wyatt Ciesielka

While it is doubtful that President Obama even knows about the Tomorrow's World Bible Study Course, his September 25, 2009 speech on the accomplishments of the recent G20 summit contained nearly identical language to what the Living Church of God published more than nine years ago, and echoed Nimrod's promises from four millennia past.

What are the odds...

  2. J. Davy Crockett III

It was a family gathering. Three generations from far and wide taking advantage of the Labor Day weekend to honor the patriarch of the family, who was to turn 88 years of age the next day. He was a man who had served his country with distinction; a young pilot in WWII and later in the Korean Conflict. When asked about his wartime experiences, the Colonel usually...

It takes a village to raise a child.

  1. 06th October 2009
  2. J. Davy Crockett III

In this age of "latch-key" children in which the parenting of small children is often left to the hired help, the concept of shifting the burden of child care to others is very popular.

Broken pride

  1. 29th September 2009
  2. J. Davy Crockett III

Sadness does not fully convey the emotion I have experienced in recent days. As a patriotic citizen of the United States of America, one who has experienced the blessings showered upon this nation, I have seen the blessings our citizens have received since the founding of this country, seemingly evaporating before my eyes.

The last Pharaoh?

  1. 26th September 2009
  2. Wyatt Ciesielka

You will soon become familiar with Tirhakah.  He was a mighty Egyptian pharaoh – a historic King of the South embroiled in incessant war with a historic King of the North.  Tirhakah will again become famous largely because Will Smith (of "Men in Black",  "Ali" and "Hitch" fame) intends to star in a movie "of epic proportions" about him.  But students of prophecy...
