Living in a world that is so antagonistic against the Way of God can become wearying. Where can we look to find encouragement when we need it most?
Comments on News and Prophecy (December 8, 2018)
We are discussing the ongoing desperate attempts by Theresa May to convince the British parliament to adopt her Brexit deal on Tuesday (December 11) as well as further meetings of the EU on Thursday, December 13. We are also addressing the surprise but slim victory of Annegret Kramp-Karrenberger (AKK) in Germany, replacing Angela Merkel as leader of the CDU, and the difficult task ahead of her to unify a deeply divided party. While many commentators feel now that Angela Merkel could remain Chancellor until 2021, this is rather doubtful. Who will succeed Merkel?
A Future Hope
There are many things that we hope for in this life but what is it that we should hope for in the time ahead? How is our relationship with God and how should we be living our lives at this moment so we can hope for and be part of a much better future?
By the Power of God!
The power of God is incredible and yet His Word shows us that we can at this time call upon and partake in some of this power now. Once we are a God being we will have the same power that God and Christ have, but we can use this power in small quantities in accordance with their will at this present time. But it takes having a close relationship with them to be able to do so.
Let Us Be Clean and Holy!
As members of the spiritual Body of Christ we must be clean and holy, and we may think many times that we are, but may deceive ourselves. We must recognize our uncleanness and eradicate it with God’s help.

True Christian Humility
The Bible enjoins us all to be humble and have the attitude of being as such. But why? Why is it important? What does Christian humility look like? Are there any other parts that go along with being humble? We will look into these questions and discover the important answers.

In this edition, we are addressing Europe’s desire for creating a powerful army and core Europe’s last revival of the ancient Roman Empire; the ongoing Brexit debacle with no good solutions for the UK; the future of Gibraltar; the false alternative Temple Theory and Israel’s desire of building a massive third temple on the Temple Mount; the non-exiting German-Israeli Friendship and Europe’s growing anti-Semitism; the Church of God’s debt of gratitude towards the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals; the European arms embargo on Saudi Arabia; and the curse of rising nationalism.
Finding our Way Through Faith
In our daily lives we encounter various forms of technology mapping and signage that attempt to point the way. What about our spiritual path? Are we secure that we are not slowly becoming off-track and lost in our lives? Can we even recognize the signs? This Sermonette is intended to offer several key scriptural citations upon which we may rely to connect or reconnect with God. As is the case in our physical lives, our confidence grows when we know we are heading in the right direction.
