Studies in the Word of God

Jesus answered him, "The first of all the commandments is: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 'And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment. "And the second, like it, is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." (Mark 12:29-31; Deuteronomy 6:4-5; Leviticus 19:18)

The Sabbath Day

This booklet examines the question of the weekly Sabbath. Is it Saturday or Sunday... or even Friday?  What day did Jesus and the apostles keep and how did they observe the day? Does one day matter more to God than another? You need to know.

The Importance of Baptism

There are many definitions of what baptism is and there are many opinions as to its meaning and significance. But baptism reflects a journey from death to life, from despair to hope, from bondage to freedom.

Clean and Unclean Fish

In Leviticus 11:10, God gives a clear definition for the fish deemed acceptable food as those having "fins and scales."  In our daily world of supermarkets selling already-filleted pieces of fish, such physical inspection is frequently impossible. Here is a link to another website listing clean and unclean fish by common names. This is not available in booklet form.

Why the Jewish Calendar is Incorrect in 2016

This article explains why most observant Jews will be celebrating God's annual Holy Days one month late in 2016. There is a difference between the rules of the Jewish calendar and the clear signs in the heavens given to us by God to point to the correct days for God's appointed times.

The Original Calendar for our Day

There have been many questions among the Churches of God regarding what calendar God wants us to use. Is it the Jewish calendar or some other calendar? This article examines the question, "Does it matter which calendar you use?"

Predestination and the Elect

There are numerous examples in the Bible of God knowing people before they were born. God knows the end from the beginning but does that mean we have no choice in the matter? Are we just robots or is our Creator endowed with abilities transcending time?

The Wave Sheaf Offering

What does this little-known observance really picture? Learn about its timing, its meaning and its role in the calculation for the date of Pentecost. Was it just an ancient observance in Old Testament Israel or does it picture something greater?

The Submissive Wife vs The Modern Woman

This speaks to women on issues relevant to maintaining a healthy and happy marriage. Men should read it too. Throughout the scriptures, God shows the value and potential of both women and men and how each can enhance the spiritual growth of the other.

God's High Days

An investigation of the Biblical High-Days and their meaning. This booklet includes Biblical instruction on the Passover, Days of Unleavened Bread, Pentecost, Feast of Trumpets, Atonement, Feast of Tabernacles and more.

Proofs that Jesus is the Messiah

Do the New Testament writing about this man called Jesus square with the Old Testament prophesies of the Messiah? This booklet provides 51 proofs that they do. Each proof provides the requirement, the Old Testament statement, and the New Testament fulfillment.

Is Christmas Christian?

An investigation of the origin and meaning of Christmas. Why did the celebrations on December 25th begin with pagan societies many years before the birth of Christ? Does a winter birth date for Jesus agree with the actual accounts in scripture?
