    Greetings Micah! I am appreciative of the Truth being presented here! The sound effects you have chosen make me smile too. Thanks for yet another creative piece. Respectfully, Crystal.

    Outstanding! “Short and to the point!” as they say. I very much enjoyed the camera on the end of the paddle and beside the boat so very close to the water. Keep ‘em coming. Please and a hearty thank you!

    WOW! Thank you for sharing the letters! Clearly many of our readers are deeply hurt and suffering. The shear number of letters coupled with the depth and hopelessness surprised me too! Certainly I might expect to hear expressions of basic necessities outside of the U.S. and Canada, but I am reminded that even people in the physically blessed nations are plagued with cancer, drug abuse and broken families that further escalate through generations. I recall agreeing to the statement it that “we’re [the world] on borrowed time.” The last two weeks of world news brought to mind an image of plagues being poured out onto an already sick world that’s governed by God’s enemy. We’ll continue to pray for Christ’s return and specifically for the letter writers. It is all so sobering! I appreciate the reminder to show compassion and offer hope when given the opportunity.

    How exiting to learn that UCG is "the13th most popular religious denomination website in the world" according to Alexa! Thanking God the Father and Christ for that blessing and privilege. My understanding is that this organization runs with comparatively fewer staff who are not only in different USA states but in different continents! God bless and continue to spread the gospel that gives an desparate and sick world some hope! Enjoyed this article.

    It always brings joy to hear of baptisms! Welcome to our family, and the joy God provides for those, like these three new brethren, who seek His Kingdom & His righteousness!

    I really enjoyed the reference made to Ecclesiastes which teaches us that in death we return to dust, and that we cannot praise God during our death (Psalms too). Then the commentators tie it to a later time when we're given a new spiritual body that will hold our persona and what we knew at death. God holding or storing our spirit, although it is not in consciousness, is quite comforting. The fact that He joins the spirit with consciousness AND a spirit body just shows what awesome plan He has for all of man! WOW!

    WOW! Thank you for this sermon Mr. Rick Shabi! I really enjoyed the different facets of this subject that you presented. This sermon has many scriptures too. I especially enjoyed the encouragement to always, always seek God, and that He sometimes just needs to know where our heart truly is! Say hello to your Mrs. and God bless. Crystal, Indianapolis, IN.

    Greetings Jen H., I found your words to be encouraging, righteous and comforting! It is so true that a mere fast is so very much worth focusing our minds on the Restoration and Healing this ole, weary world so desparatly needs! Thank you for sharing these words that you wrote!

    Greetings All, Just to add to Gary & Marsha's comments: we can continue to let God's Light in us shine while in our local 12-step groups. Plus we can receive love and support while working the steps and fellowshipping with other steps' members! Our Higher Power IS THE Higher Power, don't you agree? Mr. Darrell B - You are attending a local congregation? If not, please know that we welcome you! Peace and blessings to all.

    Hello T, Thank you for sharing a piece of yourself with fellow readers! There is no way that I--or anyone else who does not endure through a similar genetic condition--can understand your current plight, so I'm not going to pretend that I do. But T, God does and so does Christ. I can't pretend to guess why They have not chose to honor your request for healing, but please know that by sharing your words, you share yourself. Thank you T! No doubt, I will have you on my mind, prayer list and even in my heart for a while. Others will too. NONE of us who read your comments can compare to God & Christ's love and plan for your future in His/Their great Kingdom and beyond. There, when a child or even an older person is resurrected in 2nd R--who might have had a similar or worse condition--will need a hug and a welcome. Within that one hug, YOU will convey that you understand her past world. She will perceive that you understand her from pure experience. You will potentially guide millions of others through a new life without disease! Y'all might not recognize yourselves, but the people in THIS life, who know you now, will recognize your beauty. May His Kingdom come!

    This such an encouraging video! ...to see and hear these people of India be interested in God's truth and way of life is inspiring. We will pray for encouragement for our new brethren. It is ablessing to "meet" them! God will continue to give them joy. Thank you!
