What's in issue No. 20, Sept. 28, 1998?

  • Church of God members everywhere head for the Feast! You're invited to report on your Feast site for The Journal.

  • The Karens are the forgotten brethren. You used to see their pictures in The Worldwide News and hear stories about them from Ambassador students returning from the project in Thailand. Evangelists used to regale you with anecdotes about the Karens in sermons. But now they are our forgotten brethren. Read Leon Sexton's on-the-spot report.

  • A Church of God (Monrovia) elder, Brian Orchard, says consensus leads to mediocrity. "Leadership, on the other hand, is about taking people to places they hadn't dared to go."

  • The Independent Church of God, Cessnock, Australia, has 5,000 new members almost overnight.

In this issue Lon Lacey says the second member of the God family, who has always existed, became the Son; Gary Fakhoury concludes that Jesus was not the God of the Old Testament; and Anthony Buzzard discusses "preexistence" in the New Testament.
