July–August 2024

Cover Article: The Global Impact of the U.S. Election

The world stands on the precipice of significant geopolitical change, a major factor in that being the direction America goes with the choice of its leadership. The United States has been experiencing severe decline, with its preeminent global position being challenged at every turn. Internally, the country is wracked with division and rotting in immorality. Lawlessness is on the rise in the country and throughout the world, while those who would follow the Bible face increasing resistance. Rampant lawlessness was foretold in the Bible as an indicator of the end of the age—the time leading up to the return of Jesus Christ. Where must you turn? Many pin their hopes for the future on men vying for political office and restored national power, but those hopes will ultimately be dashed no matter who wins. Times will grow worse. But don’t fall into despair. The last best hope is coming with the future Christ will bring. Download this issue in PDF.

Pentecost serves as an annual reminder of our origin story. Our Creator gave us a helper, His Holy Spirit as a gift to those called to be the firstfruits of His spiritual harvest 🌾. This gift has been passed through generations to us, as Peter said, in Acts 2:39, “‭for the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.” Happy Feast of Pentecost brethren!

Let's thank God for the Sabbath—a time to rest and enjoy His blessings. Happy Sabbath, everyone! 😊

Happy Mother's Day! 🩷 Today, we celebrate the incredible gift of motherhood, a divine role beautifully crafted by God. To all the moms in our church family and beyond, your love, strength, and nurturing spirit light up our lives. Thank you for all you do! 💐

Let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. - 1 John 4:7 ❤️

Cover Article: 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱?

Surveying the problems of the world around us can lead to anxiety and despair—or just resignation in the face of the sad reality of it all. Can you personally do anything about crippling inflation and national debt, massive government corruption, increasing promotion of immorality, raging wars, open border policies bringing rising crime and invading enemies, and even threats of nuclear conflagration? It doesn’t seem so. It’s important to pay attention to these things, and we do in this issue, but you’re not going to change the world today. It marches to a Satan-influenced, corrupted nature, and you yourself have not been immune. But there are things you can do to bring change to your world—your own life. It especially involves coming to know the true God, following His directives and taking on His nature through His Spirit. This will prepare you to help bring needed change to the world in the future—at the return of Jesus Christ. Download this issue in PDF. Individual articles will be posted in the upcoming days.

Happy Sabbath brethren! 🌼 Let's use this time to reflect on the Feast of Unleavened Bread and our need to work against sin with the help of Christ’s life within us.

Celebrating the Feast of Unleavened Bread 🫓 is a powerful reminder of our ongoing journey toward spiritual freedom. Just as the Israelites left Egypt 🐪 in haste, we too must leave behind the 'leaven' of sin in our lives. This feast challenges us to cast off the old leaven of malice and wickedness and embrace the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth 📖 (1 Corinthians 5:8). Let's use this time to reflect on how we can continue to focus on our need to work against sin with the help of Christ’s life within us. Happy Feast of Unleavened Bread! 💛

Get ready for the Feast of Unleavened Bread with this scrumptious unleavened bread recipe! 🥣 Simple to make and delicious, it's a wonderful symbol of our daily pursuit of sincerity and truth. Let us also reflect on the ultimate Bread of Life, Jesus Christ, as we observe these Holy days.
