The Spiritual Law vs. Rituals
given 21 Jan 1984 - played in Wales UK 15 Jan 2005
"If you listen to those that are on television or radio preaching, they preach about Christ. You never hear them say much about God. Now there is a reason for all of that ... they have a no-law doctrine. They say Jesus nailed the Law to the cross - Jesus nailed the 10 commandments to the Cross. Now the Law is the basis of government - so they deny government. No government in the Church. So tonight I want to go into that subject..." (10.4 Mb)

News Analysis
by Jon Bowles

given Wales UK 18 Dec 2004
This News Analysis deals with the current drunken epidemic within UK cities. It asks how such an uncontrolled population would react, should financial meltdown remove the living standards from society. Not only would civil unrest trigger the application of recent legislation - ostensibly introduced to curb terrorism - but with it the removal of many legal safeguards - currently taken for granted throughout the English speaking world. This body of law dates from the Magna Carter of 1215, and can be traced back even further - to ancient Israel. (5.0 Mb)

“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!
