I enjoyed the article on the early days of the Christian church and the Reformation (“500 Years of the Protestant Reformation,” March-April 2017). Enlightening. On the chronology of the Good Friday events (“Questions and Answers,” same issue), I understood that Mary went to the tomb on the Sunday morning because Saturday was their Sabbath (no work). If the crucifixion were on Wednesday, why would she have waited till Sunday?

God Is Not Calling Everyone Now

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Dr. Roderick C. Meredith, Editor-in-Chief of Tomorrow’s World and Presiding Evangelist of the Living Church of God. He had been suffering from cancer and died peacefully on May 18, 2017. He would have been 87 years old in June.

What do you think of Jesus Christ’s return? Do you try not to think about it because you are young and want to live a full life? I get it. I thought the same when I was twelve years old.

My father was always fascinated by storms. News of one approaching would draw him to our small front porch, where he would stand, watching it build along the horizon. As a child, I would join him at times, staring into the dark clouds in the distance—seeing them move, swirl, and gather as they darkened further still, and wondering what they held in store as they drew closer to our home.
