Bob Vermaat’s column “A Christian Israelite View” has drawn a wide following and is often reprinted in other publications. A retired carpenter, he and his wife came to the message after reading an article in a newspaper, an article that instantly led them to the truth. That was thirty years ago and it began his mainly one on one ministry of spreading news of the Gospel of the Kingdom and the Israel Truth. He attributes his growing knowledge partly through brief associations with such scholarly pastors such as Karl Schott, Sheldon Emry, Robert Record, George Southwick and Bob Bell. We are indeed pleased that approximately two years ago Bob agreed to become president of this Association and he has proved his teaching abilities through meetings that he chairs during Sunday services. He is also an accomplished Gospel singer and inspires those of us who are fortunate to listen. A modest man, he understands that each time he sits down to study Scripture, a new understanding comes to life and he is always astounded by what he learns.
When we look at today’s church world, we become aware that the main emphasis is on personal salvation and the love of God. Now, I know that these things are truly important and necessary in our walk with our Lord, but many, if not most, fail to see the need for national repentance and salvation
“Think not that I am come to send peace on the earth; I came not to send peace but a sword.” (Mat. 10:34). How true are those words uttered by our Lord almost two thousand years ago. Even though the main thrust of His message was one of peace and comfort, in this discourse in…
We have to teach ourselves, through trials and tribulation, to become completely reliant and dependent on our Lord, and when we falter, we will have to admit to both self and God that we again asked self first instead of our Heavenly Father.
Hear this word that the Lord hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, you only have I known of all the families of the earth; therefor, I will punish you for all your iniquities.
This message needs to go out, for our nations are in a spiritual comatose state and in dire need of revival and life support. May the Lord guide you and lead you in this endeavor, for time is of the essence, and is running out.
In the sixteenth chapter of Matthew we read of the discourse of Jesus and His disciples and the subsequent monumental statement by Simon Peter, when he exclaims, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God.” (Matt. 16:16).
“If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that you have received, let him be accursed.” (Gal. 1:9) When reading the short Epistle of Jude, one gets the impression that Jude had intended to write a different message to the Church at large, but instead saw the necessity to write his letter, the…
“Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, nether be thou dismayed; for the Lord is with thee wherever thou goest.” (Jos. 1:9) I am certain that most, if not all of you, are familiar with the old movie, “The Wizard of OZ”, in which a young girl, in a dream journey, accompanies three…
Today, we are living in very exciting times. With the advancement in technology and electronics, man has reached the point where we feel that soon we will be able to conquer the stars. To some that thought is exciting while on the other hand, is scaring others. It is all a matter of conception. Some…
“And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in path that they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.” (Isa. 42:16) When we look around at today’s world,…
