You may have heard of Arbonne, the Swiss-born skin care company whose mission and products are based on botanical principles. And if you follow them closely, you may have heard of the Arbonne weight loss product line, too. Still interested? You should be. A lot of women speak very highly of their products and how effective they seem to be. Here’s another thing. I would tell you to visit their website if it were not for the fact that you can’t buy anything directly from it without the proper login—which means the site is more of a branding tool than an ecommerce hub. ...

If anybody is honestly interested in knowing whether or not this or that doctrine is actually biblical or merely traditional, all they have to do is objectively search the Scriptures like the noble Bereans did in Acts 17:11, after hearing Paul out, to see whether what he taught was true. Examples: The Church of God teaches, like Jesus, "the meek shall inherit the Earth." Traditional Churchianity denies it and says folks "go to Heaven." They have many such misunderstandings, idolatrous traditions and pagan myths like about being born again and Heaven and Hell. The Church of God kee...

I came to the faith of Jesus Christ as a teenager and in regard to theology my mind was a clean slate. Yes, I had plenty of worldliness in me, but very little religious indoctrination. When I was sixteen I was drawn to the Scripture. The “light” was turned on, a “switch was flipped on” in me, and I became very desirous of God's word. I read both the Old Testament and the New Testament. I read the law, I read the prophets, I read the Psalms and the Proverbs, the Gospels and the Epistles. I read it all and began to (by God's grace) put it on, to put on Christ. As the years have passed...

If you are holding an undeclared foreign bank account, don’t depend on the Swiss or anyone else. Recently, the U.S. government went to court against the United Bank of Switzerland (UBS) in an attempt to force them to hand over all of the names of American citizens holding accounts with their bank. The Swiss gave in, but only a little. It is estimated that about 50,000 Americans have Swiss bank accounts. UBS only handed over 250 names. They said they only gave the names of people they thought might be committing a criminal act. It isn’t illegal for an American citizen to hold an o...

As a teenager I came to the faith of Jesus Christ. In regards to Biblical matters, or what might be called theology my mind and heart could basically have been referred to as a clean slate. At the time there certainly was plenty of worldliness and unbelief in me, yet I had not been indoctrinated with various forms of religious doctrines. When I was 16 years old, at the impulse of the grace of God I was drawn to the Scripture. Before this time I had attempted to read the scripture, but the “light” had not yet been turned on, and the words of the Scripture amounted to little more then “ink o...

Recently, while sitting on our front porch to take a break from the computer, I noticed some young people going door to door. There were two fellows and two girls, all nicely dressed and appearing like a fish out of water on this East Side of Toledo. The two young ladies approached me, and the guys continued to next door. The one started by asking if I attended any church and said they were with some Baptist church in town. I said I no longer attended church services in Toledo, but if I did it would be on the same day as Jesus Christ worshiped - the seventh day Sabbath. I mentioned h...

If you're roughly familiar with kosher laws, you'll be forgiven for being nonplussed by the term kosher wine. You know the score on pigs, shellfish and the like, but how would you produce a kosher wine? The first thing to bear in mind is that kosher laws are determined in different ways in the Jewish religion, depending on where you sit in the spectrum (from orthodox to liberal). In kosher winemaking, the Kashrut (dietary) laws are more concerned with who makes the wine, rather than what is used to make it. A sabbath observing Jew needs to be involved at every step of the wine making process,...
