Once there were three trees on a hill in the woods. They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the first tree said, "Someday I hope to be a treasure chest. I could be filled with gold, silver and precious gems. I could be decorated with intricate carvings and everyone would see the beauty."

(Foreword by the Editor)
This sermon was given in 1999 and yet is still VERY apropo today!
The truth about and from the Christian Bible has been so twisted that the world is getting very little of it. Please listen and learn.
by Ken Browder, Editor
1 John 2:15 "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him."
Through the Apostle John, God tells us to NOT love the world. The context of the scriptures explain what He means.
Do YOU love this world? Do you become active when you see many wrong things happening in this society and realize that someone needs to do something about them?
Are you a "hands on" person who does something when a wrong needs to be addressed?
If you are, this article is especially for you!
by Ken Browder, Editor
Because of the terrible things that are happening in this world, there is a crying need that is NOT being fulfilled. This whole world is yearning and crying out for a fulfillment that flies over the heads of world leaders, religious leaders, and common citizen alike!
I've Got Good News ... and Bad News ...
Do you really see all the bad news around you, or have you gotten so jaded with it that you figuratively stick your head in the sand and hide from reality? We all need to be watching and seeing the bad news because we can learn some hard lessons from all these things.
There is Good News (God calls it the Gospel) however! We have both Good News and Bad News in this article.
Which do you want to read first? Just click on the link of your choice below. Of course, there is a link at the end of each article which will take you to the other one because everyone SHOULD read both of them.
May God bless your understanding as you study these articles. I suggest you do it with your personal Bible open and read EACH scripture out of YOUR Bible, just as the Bereans searched the scriptures to see if these things were so!
Here's the GOOD NEWS. Here's the BAD NEWS!
God Says: "Come Out of Her My People!"
by Ken Browder, Editor
It isn't very long before Americans will be going to the polls to select another man (or woman!) to be President of the United States! Election rhetoric is being thrown about with reckless abandon!
Some in each party seem to be filled with hate toward those of the other party! America IS divided about who should be leading the country and what they should be doing about all the problems America faces today.
What should be the attitude and approach of TRUE Christians?
Please read our thoughts on this important subject.
Europe and America in Prophecy!
by Garner Ted Armstrong
Is the world's greatest nation ignored in Bible prophecy? If it is, how could prophecy be considered valid? How could prophecy be inspired, If the United States of America is nowhere mentioned?
What Is God's First or Full Name?
by Nathaniel Burson
(This answer to the question above was published at BibleStudy.org, and is reprinted here by permission.)
Does God require we use his special name in our prayers? First of all, let's solve one simple argument. It's pretty much a given that God is pretty smart. And therefore, God probably knows most of the languages on Earth. Ok, so He probably knows all of them. So we can assume that God speaks Swahili. He probably even speaks Quechua and Apache. So then we know that if someone who speaks Spanish says "Dios, socorro!!!" (God, help me!), that God will understand him.
Are You a Christian? How Do You Know?
by Ken Browder, Editor
HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN? Just what IS a Christian anyway? Do you attend church, feed the poor, visit the sick?
The dictionary tells us that the word 'Christian' means -- "follower of Christ." Of course we are all followers of Christ, but that word 'Christian' also means "Christ-like."
Are you 'Christ-like?' When people look at you do they see Jesus the Christ in you?
Yes, I know that is a very tough question to answer because most of us would definitely say, "No, I'm not much like Christ!" There is one sure way that we have of knowing that we are followers of Christ and that we are striving to be Christ-like.
Do you know what it is?
Are You Ready?
by Ken Browder, Editor
There is so much trouble in the world today that people everywhere are scared and nervous, wondering what the future will bring. Everyone who has Christian inclinations is running to the local churches, searching for the answers to questions of what is happening, and why, BUT THEY ARE GETTING NO ANSWERS!
There are only a few places today where there are answers to those questions. That is in the Churches of God who observe the TRUE Sabbath and God's Holy Days. Only in THOSE churches will you find answers to today's stress and anxiety!!
You also can know the answers by reading the article.

Should Grape Juice or Wine Be Used At The Christian Passover?
by Richard Nichols
Republished by permission from the Giving and Sharing web site
Fermented wine, and not grape juice, is to be used for the ordinance of the Christian Passover. This article shows why.
(Editor's Note: The Christian Passover IS NOT the Passover which the Jewish people observe on the night of Abib (Nisan) 15, but a completely new, never before observed MEMORIAL begun by Jesus the Christ on Abib 14, the night in which He was betrayed!)

Can Christians Be Unrighteous In God's Eyes?
by Ken Browder, Editor
The following article is a result of another search phrase sought by someone who ended up on The SevenTimes Journal web site.

We sincerely hope everyone will read the article, and those linked at the bottom, in a prayerful manner and with their Bible open.
Please read the article.
Just What REALLY IS Truth?
by Ken Browder, Editor
Yes, what REALLY is truth? When asked, most people will say it depends upon what one is talking about. It seems that most believe truth is variable and relative to whatever the subject might be. But IS it?
The following article is something that has been bothering me for some time now and I believe it needs to be addressed.
If you are curious as to what Truth really is, please read on.
Does God REALLY Exist?
by Ken Browder, Editor
The question of God's existence came up in a message that I received from a visitor to the SevenTimes web site.
With some editing I present that CRUCIAL question here for the edification of all. The question was from a young man named Micah................
Please read the crucial answer.
Will You 'Christians' REPENT Too?
by Ken Browder, Editor
Deut. 28:15-20 "But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:"
Read on through that chapter to find out just what horrific punishments God will allow to come upon the Children of Israel for their disobedience!
This is something the great God has decreed for the whole nation of Israel, ALL TWELVE TRIBES!
Will YOU 'Christians' begin to truly HEARKEN to God and what He COMMANDS you to do in His Holy Word, or will you continue to IGNORE what He tells you that leads to eternal life in His Kingdom?

Who Is On the Lord's Side?
by James McBride
(The following article is reprinted by permission of The Churches of God Outreach Ministries. See complete information about the church at the bottom of the article -- The Editor)
Jesus tells us that ‘few’ will find the narrow entrance to eternal life. How come there are two billion Christians?
Thousands jam St Peters Square to hear the Pope’s Easter message. Multiple millions crowd a variety of church buildings every Sunday. Thousands of ‘evangelists’ daily proclaim the Christian message and missionaries stride the world. Vast sums are annually poured into its propagation and maintenance. Church fabric, stipends, missionary activity, seminars, convocations ‑ all call for huge financial outlay. The Christian faith is big business. And as the effort is, presumably, in service of the great God ‑ why not? Whole nations claim to be Christian...
Is The New Testament a Fraud?
Foreword by The Editor

The Bible is under attack now more than at any time in the past, it seems to me. This article will help support your faith if you will read and study the scriptures provided.
It IS a proof that God's Word is still TRUE!
