COGWA Maps Out Its Youth Program With One Glaring Obstacle

 

From a female COGWA member:

COGWA recently had a conference of MEN who lead their youth camps. They discussed the following:

What struck me was that the women are stuck on the sidelines in the photo above, their voices silenced by the men who know all. This is how we are always treated in the church. We are shoved to the sidelines and silenced. God forbide it any of us had an opinion that was better than the men in charge. One thing I have to hand to Grace Communion is that women have an equal say in their denomination and are not shoved aside like we are.

UCG: We Are Going To Be Knocking On A Lot Of Doors To See Which One God WIll Open

 

Those fun boys in Cincinnati have their work cut out for them They are in the process of knocking on a lot of doors in social media and other avenues of outreach. One thing that you can say about UCG is that they have made full use of social media far more than any of the other die-in-the-wool COG's have.

We have the opportunity to serve and be a part of this work—as we strive, under Christ’s direction and guidance—to literally preach the gospel “in all nations” as He instructs. We live in an unparalleled time when, through the power and “miracle” of social media programs like Facebook and Instagram, and the worldwide power and reach of YouTube, we literally can reach nations that may never before in this era of the Church received that message. 

 

God has provided the talent, skills, financial, and other resources so this can be accomplished, as He wills. We will be “knocking on doors” of those many opportunities to see which ones God will choose to open as we move closer and closer to the time of Christ’s return. His Church—all of us—must “work the works of Him who [called] us, while it is day” (John 9:4). 

 

And we can use the help of all of you, too. We know God has called and provided talents and skills in every area of the world. We need to understand each area of the world better, so that we may do the Work in all areas of the world, not just from the home office.

Then like any good COG will do, they have to remind members that this cannot be accomplished without their money. Lots of it! 

We are here to help and serve, but your contributions are necessary since Scripture teaches us that “every part does its share” (Ephesians 4:16). If you would like to write articles about the spiritual or life situations in your area of the world, if you have skills in technology or other areas that can help us further the work in your area, let us know. God’s work will be accomplished by “what every joint supplies.”

Apparently, an impotent god cannot open doors without a little money lubrication.  The more you give the easier that door will open!

Rogue UCG Minister Holding His Own Feast Site To Compete With UCG Italy Site

 

Angelo Di Vita

The clown show that is the Church fo God continues on unabated! Woo Hoo! 

Splints and splinters are the name of the game. 

Such an amazing legacy Herbert Armstrong has unleashed on the world!

Check this out from UCG's member update about a UCG rogue minister.

At this time, too, it is necessary for us to remind you that the site being advertised in 

Sabaudia is not a United Church of God Feast site. Neither Angelo Di Vita, nor his church, which continues to errantly use our name, are part of us or affiliated in any way with UCGIA, and Mr. Di Vita is no longer a minister in the United Church of God, having had his ministerial credentials revoked by the Council of Elders in December 2023, for several ethical violations. He has declared himself “autonomous and independent” from UCGIA. Thus, his Feast site or anything associated with him and his church is not part of us. 

What good does revoking preaching credentials do in the Church of God movement? It did not matter when their credentials were revoked when they left or were kicked out of the mother church, the Worldwide Church of God. It did not even matter when ministers were kicked out or left the Radio Church of God. It never mattered when Herbert apostatized from the COG7. 

It has never worked as hundreds of splinter groups left other splinter groups with all of them keeping their credentials intact. Not one of them ever had the decency to stop preaching since they had no credentials to do so. They just formed new organizations, set up their own rules of engagement, and did what they wanted to do.

UCG's stance that they revoked Angelo Di Vita's credentials is useless. They never set an example for him to follow so why should he listen to them?
