Dear Brethren and Friends  Since this work begin on July 8 2007 I have always plainly stated that I am not and I have no intention of starting a corporate church organization.  The purpose of this Church of God News site is to provide news of the various organizations, and to call all brethren to […]

The function of a priest is to teach godliness to all people and in doing so work to reconcile people with God.  The function of a king is to enforce God’s Word, maintain public order, ensure the public good by providing services and to make any necessary rules based upon the Word of God.  To […]

Regardless of the argument over whether the seven churches of Revelation are contemporary or successive, there is no doubt that we are in the very latter days and that therefore we are in the Laodicean age. Today’s spiritual Ekklesia continues to idolize men and false traditions;  strangely counting their espousal to Christ as meaning that […]

Unclean Wine The majority of people are unaware that wine, although made from grapes, may have been made using animal-derived products. During the wine-making process, the liquid is filtered through substances called “fining agents.” This process is used to remove protein, yeast, cloudiness, “off” flavors and colorings, and other organic particles. Popular animal-derived fining agents […]

Today the spiritual light of the assemblies are flickering out, even as world events are moving quickly towards fulfilling the “Peace and Safety” sign of 1 Thessalonians 5:3.  We are no longer a bright shining light in a dark and evil world, instead we have become spiritually lax and lukewarm to the point tat even […]

Dear Brethren and Friends  Things are beginning to move in the world and in the assemblies!  An Israeli election is scheduled for November and could easily be moved up to as early as May or June.  Meanwhile an agreement is being cobbled together between Benny Gantz and Yair Lapid which will form a peace oriented […]

In the beginning there was God, Elohim [the Mighty Ones].  Genesis 1:26 And God [Elohim; the Mighty Ones] said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:  Here the word for God [Elohim] was a plural word; meaning the Mighty Ones.  It was decided that one of these Mighty Ones would resign his […]

Brethren, I have no interest in hurting the UCG CoE by waiting until they approve their Paper and then analyzing it.  Quite the contrary I have felt moved to compile and publish this study before the CoE approves a Paper in December.  This Paper is published in love and concern, and in the hope that they […]

If we want to know what the true gospel is and what we should preach:  we can do no better than to follow the example of our Lord! The primary teaching of both John Baptist and Jesus Christ [the true Gospel] was to repent of living according to our own natural inclinations, and to change […]

As of now president Trump plans to present his peace plan by end February, in response Netanyahu plans to call an election to establish a new mandate to deal with the plan, and the general Middle East War seems likely in Spring / Summer 2019 followed by serious peace talks.  There is a strong probability […]

Just in time for Pentecost!  The very popular Biblical Sabbath and Calendar book has now been expanded so much that it has been divided into two books!  The first book is “Personal Salvation,”  but don’t be confused by that title; the book is about much more than repentance and baptism.  This book includes studies in […]

Historically from the days of the first century many false teachers have crept into the Ekklesia, not understanding the scriptures and attempting to use God’s forgiveness of repented sin as a license to justify minimizing the law and Word of God.   Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of […]

The Mosaic Covenant was an agreement between the people of Israel and their Creator that the Eternal [YHVH]  would be their God and king and that they would be his people, his nation.  The people promised to live by every Word of God and God promised that if they did so they would be physically […]

Beware of  false teachers who claim that the “spirit” of the Word of God does away with the letter of the law of God!  There are those who claim that it is Pharisaic to be zealous for keeping the law of God in its physical letter, such men try to substitute what they regard as […]

It is long past time for the bride to prepare herself to meet her LORD!  The looming Middle East regional war is now close at hand, it will be followed by a genuine peace deal which will almost immediately collapse into the great tribulation!   At the Rabbinic Passover and before Easter – when hundreds of […]

This is intended to cover the basics of proper godly leadership in this life, in preparation to become the kings and priests, the leadership of the kingdom of God.  The job of the priests and Levites was primarily to TEACH the people, set an example of godliness and to effect a reconciliation between the people […]

In Psalm 42 David painted the picture of a thirsty deer lapping up the refreshing waters from a bubbling brook; and Peter admonishes us to crave God’s Word and His righteousness just as a hungry newborn infant seeks to be filled with its mother’s milk.   Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst […]
