Become Zealous and Repent!!!

Mark A. Little What message should God’s Church be hearing, before partaking in the Passover for 2017? Christ provides the answer in Revelation 3:16, 19: “So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will (am about to) vomit you out of My mouth. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be[come] zealous and repent.” For those with eyes to see, it is clear this message is not being stressed by the ministry of the Church of God today. God’s Church h

What Time It Is?

Mark A. Little As a member of God’s Church, what time do you think it is? Not the specific time of day, month or year, but in terms of prophetic time. God promises to keep His people informed concerning the times they are living in. “Surely the Lord God does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret (counsel) to His servants the prophets” (Amos 3:7). “For behold, He who forms mountains, And creates the wind, Who declares to man what His thought is, And makes the morning dark

God’s 7,000 Year Plan?

Mark A. Little Does God have a 7,000 year plan of salvation for mankind? Does the fulfillment of that plan through God’s Holy Days occur within a 7,000 year timeframe? Does the Bible teach a 7,000 year plan of salvation for mankind? The Church of God holds to an understanding that God’s plan of salvation is a 7,000 year plan. God’s late apostle, Herbert W. Armstrong, taught the length of this plan consisted of 6,000 years for mankind to live on the earth cut off from God

You Can’t Change That!

Mark A. Little There are people within God’s Church today, who believe the teachings of Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong cannot be changed. This belief expressed in words is, “You can’t change what God’s apostle established.” An example of this kind of thinking is illustrated on a Church of God website, committed to upholding the biblical truths taught by Mr. Armstrong. “We do not have the authority to change any doctrine, restored truth, or judgment instituted (by Christ), throug

Still trying to be like Herbert W. Armstrong?

Mark A. Little For years there have been several Herbert W. Armstrong “wannabes” in the Church of God. Since his death and the demise of the Worldwide Church of God, these “wannabes” claim God is using them and their organizations to continue taking the gospel to the world. A fair examination of their efforts, 30 years after Mr. Armstrong’s death should determine if their claims are valid or not. The scriptural justification for their works over the years hinge on Matthew 2

Will America Ever Be Great, Again?

Mark A. Little Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign slogan for 2016 is, “Make America Great Again.” This slogan takes aim at the steep decline of American power both at home and abroad over the past 7½ years. Certainly America’s influence and stature in the world has diminished greatly under President Obama. America is in dire need of effective leadership and the prospect of such leadership over the next 4 years is not good. Soon, Americans will choose be
