“A Biblical Worldview in a Darkening Era”—The cover article in our January-February 2024 issue explored how we should embrace a worldview and way of life based on the truth found in the Bible.

I wanted you to know how impactful the cover photo was on the January-February issue. It is said a picture is worth a thou-sand words. It captured my interest, and I greatly appreciated imagining seeing the world through the lens of God, where children play without fear. God speed that day, when our children won’t hurt anymore. -- From the Internet

“Three Dangerous Worldviews Permeating Modern Society” by Becky Sweat

Thank you for your article. In my 92 years, I have come across them all, and thanks to God and my parents and grandpar-ents, rejected all three of them. While housebound and unable to attend weekly and annual Sabbath services with the United Church of God, I am thankful I can watch webcasts, together with my daughter and full-time caregiver. Thank you again for your timely article. -- From the Internet

Thank you so much for the service that you offer in the truth of the Scriptures. This article was truly informative. It allowed me to identify some of the cultural beliefs and intellectual processes that I held in high esteem as being facets of a larger collection of ideologies that I do not and cannot agree with. Bless you all and thank you again for the information and ser-vices you provide. -- From the Internet

“Don’t Quit, Keep Playing” by Terri Eddington

Thank you so much for this article. It is encouraging and helpful for me. I, too, feel like God has me “under construction,” and articles like this help me immensely. After my husband died, I was so alone and afraid because he was always there to take care of me—then he was gone! Now I am slowly learning that God is the One who takes care of me, and I need to rely on Him as He makes me ready for His Kingdom. 
I hope to see more articles like this one. -- From the Internet

This is a note of appreciation for your article. I’ve just read it through for the second time, and am keeping it for future refer-ence. Thank you (and the One who guided you) for the clarifying effect of what you wrote. -- From the Internet

From the author: Thank you very much for your comments. Writing is how I process and work through my thoughts and emo-tions. It is very daunting to share one’s personal walk of discipleship, but I pray the article’s principles will encourage and have positive application in the lives of others (1 Thessalonians 5:11).

Greetings and God bless you all for the wonderful work you do in spreading Christ’s gospel message of the Kingdom of God. Thank you so much for all the literature you have sent me. I enjoy reading and learning about God’s great plan for man-kind. -- From the Internet

I am enclosing part of my tithe to help with the cost of the free literature you offer to all upon request. Thank you for your be-lief as recorded in the Bible when Jesus sent out his disciples: “Freely you have received, freely give.” May God bless your churches around the world and especially here in Canada. -- Subscriber in Canada

Your magazine is very informative and enlightening. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am serving time in prison, where there are many false religions, false views of the Bible and an overall hate for Jesus, as well as lack of taking respon-sibility for mistakes that were made to land a person here. I am thankful for your resources to read and meditate on. Most people take all kinds of medication to cope with prison surroundings; I use the Bible and Bible-based material to serve as medication for my soul. Thank you and God bless you all. -- Reader in prison

Your magazine has opened my eyes to truths I never knew before. Please thank the ministers and Church members who pay tithes that pay for the booklets you mail to me and others. -- From the Internet
