“Is There (No) Peace After All?” is the title of the newest StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

The meeting in Washington between Trump, Zelensky, and European leaders was far more promising than the previous meeting between Trump and Putin in Alaska. But Russia would now have to play along, which it clearly isn’t. It categorically rejects the security guarantees for Ukraine, proposed by Trump and the Europeans, or combines them with demands that are absolutely laughable. Trump is now seemingly losing his patience with Putin. Where will all this lead?

“Gibt es doch (keinen) Frieden?” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same information as described above.

“The Debacle of Trump’s Meeting with Putin in Alaska,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

Why do we say that the meeting was a debacle? Well, what did it accomplish? What was agreed upon? Even though we haven’t heard much about the exact nature of a deal, in an interview subsequent to the meeting, Trump let slip a few things, which were in favor of Russia and which Ukraine would never agree to. But most importantly, what does the BIBLE say about the future of Russia and Ukraine, as well as Europe and the USA?

“Das Debakel von Trumps Treffen mit Putin in Alaska,” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same information as described above.

“Your Christianity–Counterfeit or Real?” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is the summary:

“And Now Also Germany Against Israel!” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

Due to its recent history, Germany had been anxious to portray itself as a strong supporter of Israel. But not any longer. The German government has joined the chorus of condemnatory and accusatory voices against Israel. It began with Germany’s support of a fictitious two-state solution and an inaccurate portrayal of the Gaza tragedy; and has now reached its climax in Chancellor Merz’s controversial announcement that Germany would no longer export military equipment to Israel that could be used in Gaza. What does the Bible say about Israel and all those nations which are ganging up against it?

“The Curse of Taxes,” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

Christ told us to pay our taxes—to give Caesar what is Caesar’s. Paul repeats this and even says that tax collectors are “God’s ministers.” These statements must not be misunderstood. Even though we are to be subject to the powers over us, the concept of taxes is a curse. It is quite different from our obligation to pay God’s tithe.  The Bible includes many warnings for governments who overtax the people. It also shows the blessing of tax relief.

“A Story of Sacrifice,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Michael Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

Because of doing this, he was put to death.

“Beyond the Basics of Obedience,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is the summary:

The 10 Commandments are the basics in the laws of God. They are the cornerstones for any true practicing Christian. Yet, Christ goes on to tell us that the 10 Commandments are not enough in terms of going above and beyond. What does that mean and what does that look like?

“US-EU Trade Deal—Biggest Deal Ever Made, or a Disaster?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

Why the contradictory opinions? What exactly was agreed to? Did Trump “eat von der Leyen for breakfast”? Did she “sell out and betray the Europeans”? Will the deal bring the EU and the USA closer together or damage the relationship even further? What are the consequences for Europe? Will the deal negatively affect US customers?

“Are You Running Away From God?” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

The Bible contains many examples of righteous and unrighteous people who were willing to run away from God—at least temporarily in some cases. Why did they do it? Some corrected their mistake; others did not. What can we learn from their example, and why is it so dangerous to walk away from God, even in seemingly little things? Why is it critical to return to Him quickly and promptly when we recognize what we are doing?

“Politicians, Wars and the Lies of This World,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:  

Why do we in God’s Church refuse to vote in governmental elections, to join the military and to fight in war? The answer is simple, and it has to do with the lies with which we are bombarded on a daily basis. Do you recognize those lies in their many different forms? What are some of those lies?  And do you believe God and the Truth, or Satan and his lying politicians?

“Politiker, Kriege und die Lügen dieser Welt,” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers similar topics as described above.

According to the Justice Department and the FBI, sex offender Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide, and no client list exists. This announcement was met with incredulity and outright rejection.
