For over ten years, we have warned that another falling away from the truth will occur in the Church of God, but only very few have heeded the warning. We now see that the prophesied renewed apostasy has begun.

Unity
What comes to your mind when we mention the gospel of the Kingdom of God? How do you understand the gospel message? What is it about? Whom is it from? What IS the kingdom of God? What does the Church need to proclaim today? Is it just a message about Christ’s coming rule over the earth? Or is there much more? Do we live up to our individual and collective responsibilities, as revealed in the gospel? Since the gospel message includes the peace and unity of the God Family, why is there disharmony in the Church and among fellow brethren? God the Father and Jesus Christ are unified, even though there is authority in the Godhead. How are we using our authority given to us from God? Are we trying to reconcile with our fellow man, or are we content to live in disunity?

Beware of Compromise
Even though career politicians are striving on and living for compromise, a true Christian must never compromise any of his religious convictions, as based on the Bible. So how are we to avoid compromise? The short answer is, we must strongly believe and act upon God’s commandments. For the longer answer and a detailed discussion, please listen to this sermon.
Hacking
The practice of hacking has connotations with computers. However, even computer hackers generally agree that the act of hacking extends beyond the keyboard. We define hacking as taking a set of established rules, interpreting them creatively, and experimenting with our action to see what happens with the new interpretation. With this understanding, hacking seems harmless. However, when we hack with God’s laws, twisting them around to interpret them for our own benefit, the result is sin deserving of death. This message describes situations of hacking with God’s laws. The Sabbath is one area which is classically muddled with, by interpreting it to be on Sunday and by expanding the boundaries of appropriate behavior. The Bible also instructs us how to worship him correctly. The Israelites coming out of Egypt hacked with this command and worshipped God in their own way. David hacked with the instructions for transporting the arc, by putting it on a cart when it was supposed to be carried. Moses also hacked with God’s instructions by bringing water from the rock in the wilderness in his own way, rather than the way that God instructed. All of these examples of hacking are examples of sinful disobedience. We must make sure to follow God’s instructions carefully, and not to intermingle them with our own corrupt interpretations and desires.
