Only a few decades ago, etiquette precluded the subject of homosexuality from polite conversation. Most parents chose to protect their young children from exposure to such discussion. Today it is unavoidable. The “gay” movement has succeeded in forcing the issue into every aspect of the media, not the least of which has been the newsmedia. The…
Bible prophecy says massive earthquakes, tidal waves, huge storms and catastrophes in unimaginable intensity are to shake this earth just prior to Christ’s return. Are we now entering a time of increasingly devastating natural calamities? Is the eruption of Mount St. Helens only another in a long history of natural disasters, or a harbinger of…
Is there anything more important to know than what really happens at death? Millions believe they have a conscious, thinking, seeing, hearing, feeling “soul” within them—that THEY really ARE a “soul”—which will live on in conscious life at the moment of death.

Can they all be part of the chosen body of Christ? What is the work of the church? To millions, churchgoing is an essential part of life-a long-remembered, traditional custom. To millions more,…
“And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent” (Revelation 12:14).

Tens of thousands believe there is a place of safety, probably in the Jordanian desert, awaiting God’s church.
