Newsletter: What God Loves and What God Hates

October 7, 2024

“...who shall dwell in Thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the
truth in his heart. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour...” — Psalms 15:1-3

Download the Newsletter

This issue of the newsletter, "What God Loves & What God Hates",  emphasizes the importance of understanding God's fixed principles as outlined in the Bible, particularly in the context of an election year where moral relativism often prevails. It highlights seven things that God hates, as listed in Proverbs 6:16-19, including a proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, a false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

In contrast, the newsletter also explores the qualities that God loves, as described in the Beatitudes in Matthew 5:3-12. These include being poor in spirit, mourning for others, being meek, hungering and thirsting after righteousness, being merciful, having a pure heart, being a peacemaker, and being persecuted for righteousness' sake. The newsletter encourages readers to evaluate their lives according to God's standards and to seek strength from God to go forward as His ambassadors.

Booklet: God and Reason

The booklet "God and Reason" explores how faith and rational thinking can work together. It presents various philosophical arguments for the existence of God, such as the idea that the universe must have a cause (the cosmological argument) and the notion that the complexity of the world suggests a designer (the teleological argument). The booklet also discusses how reason can help understand religious beliefs and argues that faith and reason are complementary, not opposing, ways of knowing. It addresses common objections to belief in God, like the problem of evil, and concludes by emphasizing the importance of integrating faith and reason for a stronger religious belief system.

You can view/download the booklet "God and Reason" here.

You can also order a copy of this booklet from our bookstore.
