THIS is real question that must be answered: Has the Sabbath weekly cycle been lost? Has humanity somehow misplaced the very day God sanctified at Creation? Scripture declares plainly: “Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it” (Genesis 2:3, NKJV). The Fourth Commandment reinforces it: “The seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God” (Exodus 20:10). The question is not whether God made a specific day holy — He did. The real question is whether we can still iden

FEW passages are quoted more confidently—and misunderstood more deeply—than Acts 15. Many claim the Council of Jerusalem marked the moment the early church “moved on” from God’s law, especially the Sabbath. But a careful reading exposes something very different. Acts 15 was not a debate about the Sabbath. It was a test case for God's salvation extending to the Gentiles. WHAT WAS THE REAL CONTROVERSY in Acts 15? Luke tells us plainly what ignited the crisis: “Certain men came

“Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah...because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord." (Hebrews 8: 9, NKJV) FEW questions confuse sincere Christians more than this one: 'If we are under the New Covenant, do God’s commandments still matter?' For generations, many have been taught that the “old covenant” was the law—and that the “new covenant” repla

EVERY YEAR, the world pauses on January 1st to celebrate what is commonly called New Year’s Day. Fireworks explode across the night sky, crowds count down to midnight, glasses are raised in celebration, and many speak of “new beginnings.” On the surface, it appears harmless—after all, what could be wrong with acknowledging the start of another year? Yet when we examine the origin, symbolism, and timing of New Year’s Day through history and Scripture, a far more complex and so

December 21 (this year, 2025) marks the winter solstice--the shortest day and longest night in the Northern Hemisphere. At this precise turning point, the sun reaches its lowest arc in the sky. From here, daylight begins its slow return. To the modern observer, this is a neutral astronomical event. To the ancient world, it was something far more powerful: a cosmic signal loaded with religious meaning. For millennia, civilizations watched the heavens with awe. They observed pa

[Reconstructing the Birth of Christ Through Scripture, History, and Chronology] FOR centuries, December 25 has been widely celebrated as the birthdate of Jesus Christ. Yet when the New Testament accounts are carefully examined, especially through the lens of biblical chronology, priestly rotations, and historical context. The traditional date begins to unravel. Scripture does not leave us guessing in the dark. While it never states a specific calendar date, it provides a care

THE question of whether “the last day, that great day of the feast” (John 7:37) refers to the seventh day of the Feast of Tabernacles or the following Eighth Day (Shemini Atzeret) has long stirred discussion. When the biblical text, Jewish practice, and first-century context are carefully examined, it becomes clear that Jesus’ declaration occurred on the seventh and final day of the Feast of Tabernacles, not on the separate Eighth Day. Contrary to the common Churches of God t
