”The False Prophet in the Holy Land,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

The world is again looking at the Holy Land and the ongoing violence there, while the Islamic world is asked to unite against Israel. The Catholic Church is accusing Netanyahu’s “far-right government” of “emboldening” extremists to attack Christians. Also, six Christian denominations are fighting for control of their faith’s holy sites. All of this, and much more, will lead to the occupation of the Holy Land by the “false prophet” with support of the “beast.”

This message looks at the time when the word no can actually be positive, rather than negative.  Applying this approach to certain passages in the Book of Revelation we see that the word “no” can be very exciting.

“Could You Fall Away From God?” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RG1KxbkgiZ0

You must not think that it is impossible for you to depart and fall away from God and return to the filth of the world, after you have come to know God and His Truth. The Bible contains many warnings, as well as explanations of why people fall away and how to prevent it. And it also calls for repentance and a change of heart when we are about to fall away.

If Donald Trump were ever convicted and imprisoned, could he still run for the Presidency; could he be elected; and could he still operate as President from prison?

God is willing to reveal His knowledge to you which is opposed to the so-called wisdom of this world, but are you willing to reject this world’s silly philosophies and rather accept and act upon the knowledge of God? And how careful are you not to lose the understanding which God has given to you, while at the same time growing and increasing in His knowledge?

Many are concerned that the German Catholic Church will split from Rome. The German bishops are determined to pursue certain “reforms” regardless of what the Vatican says.

“What Does The Biggest Bank Failure Since The Great Recession Mean To You?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Suddenly, American banks are collapsing or are in great danger. Some constitute the biggest failure since the Great Recession in 2008 and the second and third largest bank failure in U.S. history.  European banks are affected too. Some speak of a coming recession, if not depression, more powerful than that of 1929. Does this mean that we must live in constant fear of financial ruin and disaster, or can we have trust in God that He will protect and take care of us, if we do our part?

How are we going to react? We are going to have to be tough in ways that we may not be currently prepared for. What can we do to prepare now?

There are certain principles—one might say, laws—which we must apply and follow in order to become truly successful. What are seven physical and spiritual laws of success?
