Letters to the Editor

Does Unfaithfulness Disqualify Leaders?

Of course all that was said in the article about Clinton had validity. This is truly an adulterous generation. I'm basing this statement on God's principles, which some professing Christians do not adhere to. Author Ayn Rand once stated that economics have to be free of Christianity and other religious restraints to succeed. It seems that her statement has become a reality. It is a shame. We have a godless group of people determining economics, and a stage of real actors who have free reign to commit adultery--adultery that God condemned in Ezekiel, Isaiah and many other places in the Bible. It seems that we have people who take on the name of Christ while ignoring the commands and concerns of God. I wonder about that. Does this alarm anyone else?

What Disability Can't Do to You

Thank you for an inspiring article for those of us with disabilities. I had a stroke 22 years ago, when I was just 29, which left me paralyzed on the left side. Being the mother of a toddler and also pregnant with our second child, this of course changed my life a great deal. The main reason I'm writing though, is that the thought occurred to me as I read the article that many of the conclusions Mr. Maranville drew concerning disabled people can also be applied to the elderly. My folks, who have been very active all their lives, are now ages 79 and 84 and face challenges daily that they never had in their younger years. I think this article could be very helpful for those who have friends or loved ones in this older age group, as well as the physically or mentally disabled.

Rekindle the Flames of Fellowship

After seven years of self imposed (I think--yet, maybe it was of God) exile from the Church, I probably have an extraordinary appreciation for the privilege of fellowship with God's people. Fellowship must have been a major factor in God's calling the Sabbath a "holy convocation," and commanding His people to attend services. We need to take this part of observance of the Sabbath more seriously. While we can get sermons on tape, record hymnal music and read the Bible and literature at home, the meeting hall is where brethren come together on the seventh day. Congratulations on not only this article, but on the online magazine. I'm already looking forward to the next issue.

The article by Dan Taylor was excellent and certainly needed. Thank you. I think that VCM will be a useful tool.

Thanks for VCM

I relish receiving the Good News and read it from cover to cover. Now with the Virtual Christian Magazine, I can also read and study, no matter where I go, as long as there is Internet capability there. I treasure the educational experiences I have received from the Worldwide Church of God, and now the United Church of God, an International Association. I am probably somewhat unique. I consider myself a believer in UCG theology, but I "mission" the UCG theology to my fellow Christians within the Lutheran Church. Some of the Lutheran pastors are coming to me and thanking me for bringing them common sense explanations to the mysteries of their brand of Christianity. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for the very valuable and well-written articles which I have read in VCM. I believe this is a very good, new and interesting service for the scattered brethren.
