A new SW program, titled, “No more Guns,” was recorded this week and will also to be broadcast on radio, beginning Sunday, August 5th, 2012. Here is a summary of this program: The mass murder in Colorado has shown again the incredible acts of senseless and demonic violence of which man is capable. Questions are asked as to whether gun control would have prevented a “mentally disturbed” man from carrying out his horrendous crimes; and whether the increase in violence, especially in movies and video games, could be blamed for those actions. Our fascination with guns will not create a better world. What is needed is a change of mind and heart. “It must be of the spirit if we are to save the flesh” (General Douglas MacArthur in 1951).

Norbert Link’s new video-taped sermon, “What Does God Say About Circumcision?” has been posted on YouTube and our website, www.eternalgod.org.

Norbert Link’s video-recorded split sermon, “The Colorado Massacre,” has been posted on YouTube and on our website, www.eternalgod.org.

A new German sermon on the series on hell, titled “Gibt es eine Hoelle, Teil 2”, has been posted on the Web. 

Our new German booklet about tithing, titled, “Die Zahlung des Zehnten—Heute?,” has been posted on the German website, www.aufpostenstehen.de  (This is a translation of our English language version, “Tithing – Today?”).

The text for our newest English booklet, titled, “Middle Eastern and African Nations in Bible Prophecy,” has been sent to our Graphic Designer, Shelly Bruno, for finalization of the booklet.

The cut-off date for submissions of articles to our Feast newspaper is to be July 31, which will give Karen Myers a month to finalize the project, submit to the printers and have the newspapers ready for the Feast. Currently we have 30 submissions, and if we could receive another 10, it would make for a first class production. As this will probably be a one-off, it would be good if as many as possible could contribute. After all, this could well turn out to be a collector’s item, with high-quality paper and full-color pictures. Please submit your article(s) to Brian Gale.

A new SW program, titled, “Enslaved to the Government?,” was recorded this week and will also to be broadcast on radio, beginning Sunday, July 29, 2012. Here is a summary of this program: Are we in danger of losing our individual liberties and freedoms? Are we becoming slaves of the government? As examples, consider the individual mandate in the new health care law; controversial executive orders pertaining to Immigration proposals bypassing Congress and the control of the Internet by Homeland Security; invoking the executive privilege to withhold documents from the House Committee in the Fast and Furious debacle; the use of drones throughout the US; and the reading of private emails by the government. It is high time to wake up.

Norbert Link has begun a new series of German sermons on the subject of “hell.” The first in this series, “NEU! Gibt es eine Hoelle?,” is now posted.

A new booklet about tithing, in German and titled, “Die Zahlung des Zehnten—Heute?,” has been finalized and will be posted shortly (this is a translation of our English language version, “Tithing – Today?” ).

A new member letter has been written and will be sent out this week. In it, Norbert Link draws upon the biblical warnings given to Christians as this society becomes more and more intolerant of the true godly values by which we are called upon to live.

Our Internet ad campaigns, which promote our booklets and the weekly Update, are ongoing, and recent ads focused in Great Britain and the USA were particularly successful for two of our publications, according to  Brian Gale, Johanna Link, and Michael Bannen, who coordinates these programs. All of our publications and recorded audio and video messages are available for easy access at our webpages: www.eternalgod.org; www.churchofgodacf.ca; www.globalchurchofgod.co.uk; aufpostenstehen.de; www.standingwatch.org.

Our new booklet, “Middle Eastern and African Nations in Biblical Prophecy” has entered its second review cycle.

The German translation of our booklet on Tithing has entered its second review cycle.

A new StandingWatch program was recorded and posted on YouTube and our website (www.standingwatch.org), titled, “The Heresy of Cain and Independence Day.” It discusses the following:

One author wrote that when God approached Cain  and asked him, Where is your brother Abel?, Cain committed a heresy, when he answered, I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper? The author continued that to many Americans, Independence Day is a day to celebrate their liberation from having to be our fellow’s keeper, our independence from others. He said that the Cain Heresy is alive and well in our culture, threatening to totally devour the freedom it claims to defend. What about it? Does the Bible say that we are to be our brother’s keeper? And if so, how?

An audio version of this same program will air Sunday, July 15, 2012, on our radio affiliates in the U.S.

Norbert Link’s new video-taped sermon, “Captivity Reversed” has been posted on YouTube and our website, www.EternalGod.org.

A new StandingWatch program has been posted, titled, “Circumcision a Crime in Germany.” Here is a summary of this program: A German Court of Appeals in Cologne ruled that religious circumcisions of young or infant boys are grievous bodily harm and thus a crime. This means that doctors can no longer claim that they do not know that they commit a crime, as the religious right of the parents to circumcise their children was held to be less important than the child’s fundamental right to bodily integrity. Jews and Muslims are outraged, but many Germans seem to agree with the scandalous court decision. The underlying thinking will have some impact for prophesied events in the future.

An English audio version of this same program will air Sunday, July 8, 2012, on our radio affiliates in the U.S.

A German version of this program (AufPostenStehen.de) was also recorded and is now posted, titled, “Beschneidung ein Verbrechen in Deutschland.”

This week’s new German sermon, “Viele Wohnungen in Meines Vaters Haus” (“In My Father’s House Are Many Mansions”) covers mainly John 14 as part of an ongoing series of our NOT going to heaven when we die—or, when Christ returns, or, after He has returned.

A StandingWatch program was recorded and posted on YouTube and our website (www.standingwatch.org), titled “Germany’s Beast on the Rise?” It will also be played on our radio outlets, discussing the following: Does the Bible tell us what will happen in Germany and Europe? Do current developments show us the beginning of what the Scriptures prophesy? Will there arise a German populist? If so, will he be for or against Europe? Will he turn out to be the beast, as mentioned in Revelation? Will we soon experience an end of democracy in Europe, as we did in the 1930s? Will the euro crisis bring about a two-speed Europe? Will core European Eurozone nations be in charge for a while? Will they finally transfer all their authority and power to a charismatic European leader?

A new StandingWatch program has been recorded which is now posted on YouTube and on our website and will also be played on our radio outlets. The title is, “2012 Big Scandal in the Vatican.” Here is the summary: One of the biggest scandals in the Vatican is widening. According to national and international press reports, it is a case of intrigue, betrayal and secret documents, uncovering alleged corruption, cronyism and mismanagement, and even an alleged murder plot against the pope, at the very heart of the Roman Catholic Church. They purportedly show how the game of politics is played, with lies, intrigues and bitter feuds between rival parties. What is happening, and what does all of this mean in the light of biblical prophecy?

A new StandingWatch program was recorded and posted on YouTube and our website (www.standingwatch.org), titled, “Does Lincoln’s Ghost Haunt the White House?” Could we communicate with ghosts or the spirits of deceased or departed loved ones? Is it true that the ghost of Abraham Lincoln appears in the White House, and that, in general, the White House is haunted? What is necromancy? And what does the Bible have to say about all of this?

The audio portion of this program will be broadcast on our radio programs, beginning this Sunday.

A new German sermon was posted on YouTube and on our website, www.aufpostenstehen.de titled, “Niemand Faehrt Gen Himmel…” (“No One Ascends to Heaven…”).

A new member letter has been written and sent out this week. It is also posted on our website (www.eternalgod.org). In the letter, Eric Rank reminds us of the importance of involvement in and support for God’s Work and for one another, and he explains how this can be done.

A new StandingWatch program was recorded and posted on YouTube and our website (www.standingwatch.org), titled, “Germany—Israel’s Friend or Foe?” German-Israeli relations have never been easy. Even though Germany is officially considered one of Israel’s closest allies, most Germans view Israel as aggressive and feel that Germany has no special obligation towards Israel. Some historians state that no friendship exists between Germany and Israel, and that in German eyes, Israel is one of the most unpopular states in the world. Recent revelations have not helped that Israel has been deploying nuclear missiles on submarines which were received from Germany. What does all of this mean in the light of biblical prophecy?

The audio portion of this program will be broadcast on our radio programs, beginning this Sunday.

A new German sermon was posted on YouTube, titled, “Gottes Zorn ueber den Ungehorsam” (“God’s Wrath for Disobedience”).

A new StandingWatch program was recorded and posted on YouTube and our website (www.standingwatch.org), titled, “Does God Approve of US Drone Attacks?” Are US drone attacks moral, Christian and legal, or do they violate biblical standards and constitute potential war crimes? The New York Times reported on May 29 that a priest blesses President Obama’s decisions to launch such deadly drone attacks. While the drone war remains popular in the US, it is being condemned in most other countries, as the British paper, The Guardian, reports on May 29. It is estimated that hundreds, if not thousands of civilians and children were killed in the process, but the facts and circumstances of such atrocities are rarely mentioned in the Western press. The drone war has been described by concerned Americans as “dangerously seductive,” and it is feared that its damage will show up in the long run. But it may not be that long.

We are planning to broadcast soon on radio the audio portion of this program.

A new German AufPostenStehen program was posted on YouTube and on our German website (www.aufpostenstehen.de) titled, “Die Verteufelung des Guenther Grass” (“The Demonization of Guenther Grass”).

Progress has been made on repairs to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Link. They anticipate being able to fully move back in during the next few days. Extensive water damage from a broken pipe occurred while they were on a recent trip to Germany. This will also allow Norbert Link to resume recording new StandingWatch programs for both video and radio presentations from the studio located on the premises.

A new StandingWatch program was recorded and posted on YouTube and our website (www.standingwatch.org), titled, “The EU under German Leadership.” “The euro will survive; the European Union will become a federal state; and Britain could end up outside it.” These are some of the interesting conclusions by financial historian Niall Ferguson, as published by the Sunday Times on May 20, 2012, under the headline, “One Nation (Under Germany).” Why did he state those opinions, even though he is not a federalist and does not like what he sees? And why are his ideas so compelling in light of biblical prophecy?

A new German AufPostenStehen program was posted on YouTube titled, “Ist Amerika’s Untergang Vorherbestimmt?” (“Is America Predestined to Fall?”)
