Letters to the Editor

Wanted: Morality

One wonders if we have the language that we need for morality any longer. One remembers that "hate" once was legal motivation for a crime. Today we have removed hate as a motivation for a crime and produced and instead call them "hate crimes." How can you demonstrate motivation for a hate crime in court?

The stoic and pragmatic approach of distancing one's self to observe all matters that require judgment is no longer in effect.

Politicians do not accept bribes but they accept influence. The sparring with truth by wordsmithing. When an issue is presented in court one now "strategizes" and inserts the correct language to obtain goals. Should we wonder why morality is endangered?

Appreciate VCM

I really appreciate Virtual Christian Magazine as I live in a remote area. I am also married to a man of another religious belief and our 3 children are being raised that way. I would like to see more articles that offer help and encouragement for those of us in marriages with unbelievers, especially as it seems it is getting very close to the end of this age.

Thanks again for the great work you are doing in God's name.

Thank you for your very valuable and well-written articles which I have read on your WEB site. I believe this is a very good new and interesting service for the scattered brethren.

I get your magazine, and just looked up this site, as I am just learning how to use the Internet. There are no United Church Of God people here, so I go the Seventh Day Adventist church to worship now. I wish I lived near one of your churches, but now I have your web site, I can read all the latest.

Keep well, and may God bless you in all your programs.

I have just completed reading most of the VCM issues and I want to compliment all of you for writing some very inspiring articles. I found my first copy of The Plain Truth in a local convenience store back in 1982!

I have been receiving literature from UCG after learning of their existence by a few searches on the Internet. I was very happy to see that the fantastic message of God's plan was still being preached.

I have heard your message for over a decade. I've never been baptized. The one thing I am convinced of is that the total message you preach, the message I've heard all these years, the good news of God's amazing purpose for all people.

This message is so entirely perfect that it just has to be true. I would be hard-pressed to believe that life's answers could be any different. I know that this evil world's time is short, and a better world is hopefully just around the corner.

My longing is to somehow be a part of that better world-one that benefits from Christ's righteous rule. I always dive into any correspondence that I get from UCG booklets, updates, the Good News, etc. I encourage you to keep up the good work!

-- David
