From the APOSTOLIC TIMES by Howard H. Davis Vol.22 Issue 1 June 2010 It has been a good number of years since I published The Apostolic Times.

God Said Let Us Make Man
God Said, “Let Us Make Man.” Man Said, “Let Us Make God.” In Ex 32 Aaron’s excuse in making a golden calf says that the people said to him, “Make us gods that will go before us, for as for this fellow Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, […]

Make no mistake about it — God requires both! Both the Old Testament and the New Testament are filled with instructions regarding outward things: […]
A Reason to Cry
A Reason to Cry Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations. My wife and I have been blessed the last few days to have our daughter, and our two grandchildren, visit with us. Observing these two grandchildren is one of the joys of life.
