I’ve been really busy the past couple of days, so I’m playing catch-up. I see that the United Church of God, an International Association (UCGia or UCG for short) has proclaimed a fast for the Church on the weekend of 21 – 22 August. Members may decide on fasting either…
Something happened to me yesterday to remind me of God’s goodness. It was a bit of encouragement that came in a very timely fashion. Afterwards, I sat down and contemplated the situation. I was reminded of what Jesus said about giving a cup of cold water to one of His…
Well, not a huge surprise, but WND reports “Prop 8: Federal judge nixes California ‘gay’-marriage ban”.

I’ll admit that I don’t know much about Aaron Dean. I was actually hoping to meet him a few years ago at a seminar that he was supposed to give. However, he could not make it, and someone else gave it. So, I was curious about what people were saying…

While there has been talk for some time about supporting the Latin American brethren who used to be a part of United Church of God, this is the first time I’ve seen a…
