Warning the world about what is coming
The rapture is one of the most influential beliefs within Christianity. Many have accepted the idea that before the tribulation begins, they will suddenly disappear from 
this world, leaving only their clothes and shoes on the floor. If they are driving a car or operating any type of vehicle, it will just crash or come to a stop. Many believe this event could happen at any moment, and I’ve spoken to some who hope it’s today. Yes, we all want to go to heaven, but what about not being concerned about accomplishing God’s work, our calling, finishing the mission, or wanting to reach more lost souls with the gospel before

America is forgetting
Letter to the Editor: America is Forgetting its Darkest Day
Twenty-four years ago, I watched my country bleed as an American living in England. On September 11, 2001, terrorists murdered 2,997 innocent Americans in the most devastating attack on our homeland since 1812. I never felt more alone in that foreign country.
Today, I watch America forget.
Walk into any classroom. Ask teenagers about Flight 93’s heroes who charged the cockpit knowing they would die. Watch their blank stares. Ask about the firefighters

What to believe?
Romans 10: 9-10 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For 
with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
As we are witnessing in our world today, many of the happenings are based on what people believe. Good or bad, belief triggers a multitude of attitudes and actions.
A village we worked in East Africa believed a little boy was saved from death because

VA surpasses claims goals, expands care
The headline said it all: The VA has processed more disability claims in one year than 
they’ve ever done before. They surpassed last year’s total months before the end of this fiscal year. Specifically, the backlog of veterans waiting for benefits is down over 37%.
And that’s not all the VA is accomplishing. In the last

Checking expired products
When the pandemic began over five years ago and our stores were keeping odd hours and sometimes the shelves were empty, many of us stocked up on food and supplies 
when we could get them. We chose canned goods and dry boxed foods like pasta, as well as staples like bleach and sanitizing wipes.
Where are those items now? Are some of them still

The human inclination to set boundaries
1 Kings 6:2 “And the house which king Solomon built for the Lord, the length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits.”
God gave King Solomon a detailed set of directions for the building of the Jerusalem Temple (also called King Solomon’s Temple or The Temple of God).
The dimensions were given in cubits. One cubit is standardized as the distance from a man’s finger tips to the inside of his elbow. That length has been further standardized in modern thinking to 18” or one and

Time gets faster
Dear Editor,
It’s amazing how much things that we consider important over others change as we get older.
When I was a child and was reading the paper, the first thing I would do when I got it was to immediately go to the comics section to read all of my favorite comics, like

What does it mean to endure till the end?
I t would be wise to understand that Satan knows what he is planning, and since he hates all true Christians, lulling his enemy to sleep has always been an effective tactic of war.
We might not understand all the specific lies and strategies designed to confuse our minds, but John 10:10 clearly explains his basic agenda. We are

When claims aren’t checked
A veteran and wife duo have been indicted for a whole menu of crimes against the VA, including conspiracy to defraud the United States, theft of government funds and conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

Regrets in retirement
I was eavesdropping on two senior ladies in a big box store, specifically in the furniture 
aisle. Being discussed was a very large TV cabinet with doors and shelving. While it was on sale, the price was apparently not enticing.
“I regret not buying a big television back when I had
