Editorial – If God had Workers Who
God has waited long for a company of united sanctified people through whom He can finish His work. Are we ready to carry out the great work of preparation in which we must all engage?
Doctrine
Who decides who is going to be a church member? Is it the pope who has the keys? If it is not the pope, is it the church board? Can they decide? What about the church body? Can we decide whose name is written in heaven and whose is not?
Doctrine
When you start forsaking present truth, you lose the unity. That is why we have confusion now, and we will never, never have unity again until we come back and stand on present truth.
Church
The Call to the Sleeping Virgins
In the parable, the ten virgins had lamps, but only five of them have the saving oil with which to keep their lamps burning. This represents the condition of the Church.
Faith
Are You Ready for the Time of Trouble?
Those who exercise but little faith now, are in the greatest danger of falling under the power of satanic delusions... even if they endure the test, they will be plunged into deeper distress and anguish in the time of trouble, because they have never made it a habit to trust in God.
Doctrine
As we partake of the emblems He has given us, He wants us to look forward with rejoicing to that time, believing that through His grace, we have been forgiven and cleansed.
Doctrine
In every moral crisis within the church, when the majority have followed after error, leading those who choose to be faithful to the truth to separate from them, there has been unity of understanding as to what constitutes the church of Christ.
History
Satan realized that it was impossible to maintain his control of the people while they had the Holy Scriptures, because they would be able to discern his deceptions and withstand his power.
