News Analysis
by Jon Bowles

given Wales UK 27 Sep 2008
The present financial crisis does not merely have its roots in recent sub-prime lending, but in the last depression, when John Maynard Keynes set the basis of modern economics. In addition to the removal of the gold standard he stated: "...we must pretend to ourselves and to every one that fair is foul and foul is fair; for foul is useful and fair is not. Avarice and usury and precaution must be our gods for a little longer still." Such unethical greedy advice seems to have finally come back to bite us! (5.0 Mb)

by Jon Pippy
Putting Complete Confidence in God
given Peterborough Canada 2 August 2008
Our relationship with God must certainly be two-way: talking to Him through prayer, while listening carefully as His scriptures instruct us. But even more is required if we are to become one of His Spirit-born children. That miracle so often requires us to "stand still" (Ex 14:13) - in total confidence - as He personally converts us from what we are, to what He requires. (13.0 Mb)

Begins: "In a way it seems strange to me to be back here in Vancouver, Washington. I lived here for 6 months in 1924..."

“Just what is an APOSTLE?”
Just what is an Apostle?

Today we find the Church of God in a “wilderness of religious confusion!”

The confusion is not merely around the Church – within the religions of the world outside – but WITHIN the very heart of The True Church itself!
