Joel Hendon(178) 
Children of God here in the United States who fare sumptuously every day and who build multi-million dollar buildings with computerized screens in various spots throughout the ornate structure, a gymnasium, a huge kitchen and huge dining hall, some with useless steeples atop the building, the...

Freedom, Religion, Moral Values And Politics -
Joel Hendon(178) 
Governments have been ordained of God and man has biblical instruction to be subject to them. So long as the laws and rules do not conflict with the commands of God. There is no record of any formal government prior to the universal flood and the people had received their instructions which...

Polygamist, Homophile, Pedophile, Hate Crimes? -
Joel Hendon(178) 
Some how, our government officials priorities just aren't as they should be. Now, if I understand it, polygamy is illegal throughout the United States. Pedophilia is illegal through out the United States. Homosexuality is not illegal anywhere, that I am aware of. So, if I understand it correctly....

Looking Unto Jesus -
Raymond Elliott(61)One of the fundamental lessons to be learned in playing golf is to keep your eye on the ball. This is easier said than done. In years past, I played this game each week. I received most of my instructions from a dear friend when I lived in the city of Ozark, Alabama. When I would look down the...

Israel Of God Today -

Joel Hendon(178)

Origins Of Judeo-Christian Vs Muslim Enmity & Strife ( Part Two) -
Joel Hendon(178) 
We found in part one of this subject that Abraham's and Sarah's treatment of Abraham's first born son was such that would have caused enmity between this son by the handmaiden Hagar and the second son Isaac by Sarah. this was further intensified by the episode of Jacob and Esau where the...

Origins Of Judeo-Christian Vs Muslim Enmity & Strife ( Part One) -
Joel Hendon(178) 
Part one of a four part series
By backtracking and study of the history of the Edomites and Ishmaelites, how envy and resentment grew into hatred and violence becomes evident. Faithful Abraham and his virtuous wife Sarah, even though they found favor in God's sight, were weak as are all...

Will Faith Alone, Save You? -
Joel Hendon(178) 
I would like to say first of all, that no one believes that faith is absolutely necessary for one to be saved eternally more than I do. But, I do take issue just as strongly, that it is not all that is necessary. Our faith must be strong enough to cause us to obey. Obedient faith is saving faith....

This World Has Many Choices: Eternity Only Has Two -
Raymond Elliott(61)The title of this article is found in the words of a religious song that I have heard over the radio several times. It is a moving song. One that really makes you think. God made man in His image and one likeness is that man has the ability to make choices in life. Adam and Eve made the wrong one...

Are You a Rightwing Extremist or Terrorist? Your Government May Think You Are -
Lorrie DavidsYou might be a rightwing extremist or terrorist if... Sounds like the beginning of a joke, but, sadly, it is not.

What Happened To The Brazen Serpent? -
Raymond Elliott(61)The children of Israel became very discouraged and impatient as they traveled from Mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea to compass the land of Edom.

Raymond Elliott(61)
Well, many folk have prayed for rain because of the drought condition in the southeastern section of our country and the good Lord sent it. The problem was that some areas were flooded.

How Much Have Men Changed in 2,000 Years? -
Joel Hendon(178) 
In reading some ancient writings recently, I came upon some words from long ago that impressed me as being perhaps just about as fitting today as they were then.
A man named Lactantius, lived from 260 AD to 330 AD. He was born a pagan and became fairly successful as an orator and professor...

Is America A Christian Nation? -
Joel Hendon(178) 
President Obama, in a speech while in Turkey stated that we no longer consider America as a Christian nation, nor a Jewish Nation, nor a Muslim nation. Is that right? From my personal perspective, he is correct in one sense and incorrect in another. So the answer would be Yes and No I suppose....

Who Would Want To Be Atheist? -
Joel Hendon(178) 
Did you ever stop and wonder what it would be like to be an atheist, infidel, or what ever you may prefer to call them? It somehow seems to me to be a life as depicted by the comic strip character "Born Loser". It is a lose, lose situation. It is as a quote I read about Alexander Campbell once...

Norse Myths And Pantheon -
Joel Hendon(178) 
Pagan worship existed from early on, probably only a century or so after the flood. All nations were engulfed in them except for Israel who also found them enticing and dabbled (dabble: To undertake something superficially or without serious intent; play at; tinker) in them so much that God...

Hearing But Not Believing -
Raymond Elliott(61)
One of the frustrations experienced by preachers is knowing that the gospel has been taught, yet there have been no responses by the hearers to obedience. This may occur when sinners refuse to obey the gospel of Christ and/or when members of the church fail to comply with the teaching of...
