These things bear repeating, in order to stem the tide of falsehood that is bewitching the people of God. I tell you with concern, and with sadness, that many have embraced these |

| I recently read an article (written awhile ago) stating that the historic peace churches “for the first time since the Vietnam War” were making preparations in case the draft was ever reinstated. “We are probably one terrorist attack — one 9/11 — away from a draft,” said Dan McFadden, director of Brethren |

But the people living back then were real people, as alive as we are right now and, as my husband often says, their world is the same world that we live in today.

| Will we ever see the draft again? I don't know, but I do know that we should be ready, just in case. As born again Christians we want to live out the peace teachings of Jesus Christ. If the draft is ever reinstated in the United States those that are conscientious objectors have to prove that their beliefs are genuine. If the draft was reinstated |

| A fellow believer made that statement in jest several years ago. Now I think it may have been a prophetic word. Many of our churches have become very political and very ecumenical. I say “our churches” because there are many born again believers who attend these churches, and I used to be one of them. I have observed the politicizing |

| Can I say the Lord is my Pastor? Certainly. Jesus' teachings must have priority over what man teaches. We are living in a day when Pastors (not all) are teaching things contradictory to what Jesus taught. Can we, should we, “pledge allegiance” to those who contradict the Lord? Is it a light thing to contradict the Lord? Romans 7:6 and |

| Where will you go when you die? Hebrews 9:27 tells us “. . . it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment . . .” When I was born again in 1988 one of the first things I told my husband was that you can “know” that you are going to heaven when you die.
