Letters From Our Readers: July/August 2022
Reader comments about Beyond Today magazine, television and study guides
I have recently begun watching Beyond Today programs and have found them to be a blessing and encouragement. Please pass along my thanks to Mr. McNeely, Mr. Myers and Mr. Petty for sharing their knowledge and insights. They are gifted speakers and ministers of the Word. The program “Has God Given Up on America?” is a perfect example of the alarm bells we all need to hear. Thanks to God for pastors such as these men who will boldly stand and contend for biblical truths that are so badly needed in our society today. I do love, honor and respect our country, but we are in desperate need of divine intervention and direction. I humbly and sincerely pray for you and with you, “Your Kingdom come!”

I am writing this letter to let you know that I have received the Bible study aids you sent me. I am very grateful to you for your kindness for sending them to me. I am very blessed, and am sure reading them will help me to know God more deeply as I walk with him. God bless the United Church of God.
Reader in India
I don’t know what church you belong to but you always seem to get things right in your articles. Thank you for the recent, brilliant, and very unusual perspectives in Beyond Today magazine. I am 1 of 20 marines—out of 70—who made it in Saigon in 1972. I always knew that it was no accident that I survived. Carry on, please!

Comment on "Growing State Tyranny: Foretaste of the End Time?"
Unfortunately, things are going to escalate very rapidly, there is going to be a serious food shortage even in the United States, possibly within a year. Lots of things happening at the same time are creating a perfect storm for catastrophe. We definitely need to prepare spiritually and physically.

Please remove my name from your mailing list. I believe in the Holy Trinity, and your articles seem to go a long way to disprove it. Pray for wisdom and understanding of the Scriptures, and Jesus will enlighten your mind to the truth. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life.”

We’re sorry to see you go. For anybody interested in the biblical evidence against the traditional three-Persons-in-one Catholic doctrine of the Trinity (and why we believe the Bible reveals God the Father and Jesus Christ the Son as a divine family whose Spirit is Their power and essence), read our free Bible study guide Is God a Trinity? online at ucg.org/booklets.
Looking for a church with the same beliefs
Thank you so much for all the enlightening online information on all the feasts and how they are observed today. I have only recently decided to observe the feasts (still knowing little) and am about to move to a new location in Texas. I know zero people there who walk in covenant with God. Do you have any advice on how I could find or connect with like-minded people somewhere? Thank you very much.

Our full list of congregations and contact information for the pastors can be found at ucg.org/congregations. Whatever the closest congregation to you is in your new home, reach out to the pastor and he can help you out. We hope we’ll see you in person soon!
I’ve been following the teachings of the United Church of God for more than two years through your booklets, Beyond Today magazine and television, your website, sermons, and more. But I am in agony because UCG is not here in my region. I cannot join the congregation to worship God on His Sabbath day. What should I do? My family and I long to worship God on the Sabbath day with the assembly. Thank you.

While it’s disappointing that we don’t have a congregation close to you, we encourage you to stay in touch with our office in your region to let them know you’re keeping the Sabbath and want to know others of like mind. We also encourage you to watch live or recorded webcast Sabbath services at ucg.org/webcast. Even though no other UCG members are close by, God sees your faithfulness and honors your worship of Him, even if it’s just your family.
Greetings! I just wanted to say thank you so much for your hymnal app. All day long I can listen to the wonderful hymns and the wonderful choir. I also tune in online to church services on the Sabbath. I am looking for a congregation near where I plan to retire to live out the rest of my days. Hallelujah! Bless you all and thank you for your church.

How nice to hear you’re enjoying the hymnal app (for others interested, it’s available on both Google Play and Apple App Store platforms—search for “hymnal United Church of God”).
