Punched in the Faith
Dear Wake Up Family: Mike Tyson was just twenty years old when, in the mid-1980s, he became the youngest champion in boxing history. He was so aggressive and strong that many of his opponents lasted less than sixty seconds in the first round. Two lasting only thirty seconds! A remarkable feat considering boxing matches are […]
The Godhead One or Three
Dear Wake Up Family: This month I want to share what is probably the most frequently asked question (grievance) we get in the office and how we answer it. The question, although asked in different ways, always pertains to Jesus’ divinity or the Trinity being three separate entities. Here are some of the complaints… “You […]
Doing Our Very Best
Dear Wake Up Family: On the 1st day of April 2002, a 96-year-old man quietly passed away in a soldier’s nursing home on the south coast of Finland. He was a small man, only standing five feet tall, who had been a farmer in his prime. In his youth, however, many decades earlier, Simo Hayha […]
Lies
Dear Wake Up Family: Last week, I listened to an interview with Colonel Douglas Macgregor and had to pause the video when he made this statement, “If our cause is just, why do we have to lie about it?” I thought he asked a good question. Although he was discussing politics and foreign policy in […]
Make Things Right!

As a public figure, Churchill probably deserved a great deal of criticism, but […]
Men Have Forgotten God

Solzhenitsyn’s monumental and exhaustive accounts of one of the cruelest ideologies in history should be read by everyone everywhere. It’s astonishing what humans will […]
Civil authority or Gods Authority
Dear Wake Up Family: We’ve all done it… read one text in the Bible that appears to contradict another. What should we do when we encounter this? Larry’s message has always been, “Study the Bible for yourself and come to your own conclusions.” In my experience, this is easier said than done. One such text […]
Sanctification
Dear Wake Up Family and Friends, Have you ever been sitting in your home early morning or late afternoon and seen a ray of sunshine come through the window? If you looked closely, you could see dust particles floating in the light, but outside of that ray of sunshine you couldn’t see them. This happened […]
Five Essential Bible Truths
This is a discussion with Letty Kincaid on the five essential Bible doctrines. These five doctrines are: Salvation by Faith The State of the Dead The Sanctuary The Sabbath The Second Coming The five “S’s” are fundamentally important because the books of Daniel and Revelation build upon these key doctrines. If these five doctrines are […]
