World News & Prophecy

Vertical Thought
Vertical Thought—a magazine of understanding for tomorrow’s leaders—strives to serve up relevant content to help young adults and teens discover and live God's way of life. Thinking vertically is a challenge God offers all of us. Even though we human beings are presently temporal, flesh-and-blood beings, as Christians we are empowered to "seek those things which are above, where Christ is," and to set our minds "on things above" (Colossians 3:1-2). Vertical Thought exists to help you not only think about, but act on, these things from above—the things that are really most important in life.

Good News Bible Reading Program
The Good News Bible reading program has been developed to involve the entire Church and any others interested in an in-depth study of the Bible. The program spans over three years in which we read through the entire Bible, book by book.

We cover the background, history and authorship of each book, discussing its time frame and major themes, the many intriguing people whose lives the Bible records for us, many of the doctrinal truths presented, interesting facts that bear on the readings, and the crucial lessons God wants us to learn.

Participants are also sometimes directed to supplementary, though usually optional, reading material from Church publications. Additionally, there are occasional sermons, sermonettes and Bible studies to supplement the program.

Breaking Free Journal
Breaking Free Journal is the online magazine that helps members of the Church who struggle with alcoholism, substance abuse, sexual addictions, same sex attraction, mental disorders and other forms of dysfunctional behavior.  It will also help those who seek a deeper understanding of these issues.

Virtual Christian Magazine
