What do you worship, and how? Many people profess belief in God, or in many gods, and worship them in countless ways. But consider for a moment: Do you worship the true God of all creation or an idol? That question might be harder to answer than you think.
“Idols?” you may ask. “I have no idols! I would never worship a physical object as a god!” you may declare. But are there any “false gods” lurking in your mind of which you may not even be aware?

About 12.5 million viewers watched the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, which was reportedly a three-year high, up 31 percent from last year. Some of the highly-celebrated musicians to win or perform were Beyoncé, Harry Styles, Lizzo, Kim Petras, and Sam Smith. Amid the fanfare and celebration, the biggest winner was undoubtedly Satan the devil, but surprisingly, he has far worse tricks than what occurred at the Grammys.
The Grammys included a literally satanic performance by Sam Smith and Kim Petras...

The Bible warns that "false Christs" would come, denying Jesus' true message. Has this occurred? Will it occur in the future? Why are billions who call themselves "Christians" unaware of what Jesus Christ really taught? As Christians, we need to be sure that we are worshiping the true Jesus Christ!

Thank you for the reprint article, "Do You Really Want to Eat That?" I have reviewed everything that has been said, and read the Bible scriptures, over and over again. Today I have been more careful not to eat the food that God does not allow us. One challenge is that not very many people on low income can afford to buy the good meats that God allowed us to eat. They are more expensive, but pork is the meat that is most cheap and affordable. But I have stopped eating pork, obeying God's law....

Major Protestant denominations of Christendom are in the throes of controversy, some to the point of dissolution. Millions of members of the Southern Baptist Convention, the United Methodist Church, the Presbyterian Churches of America, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Pentecostal World Fellowship, the Anglican Communion in the United States, and many smaller denominations are in a state of angst.

On September 21, 1897, the New York Sun published an editorial which began with: “Dear Editor—I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, ‘If you see it in The Sun, it’s so.’ Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus?” The letter was from a little girl named Virginia O’Hanlon. What was the response?
“Virginia, your little friends are wrong….” The editorial continued with a celebration of the concept of Santa Claus before ending with “No...

On Wednesday, December 6, 2017, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the United States would recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and would be moving its embassy to that city. For most of Israel’s recent history, nations have located their embassies in Tel Aviv, which, as Israel’s second largest city after Jerusalem, is the nation’s financial and technological hub. Israel has insisted that Jerusalem is its capital, but many nations choose to use Tel Aviv as a safer place to base...
