The Trinity – God as Three Beings
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 […]
Don’t Be Afraid – We Are Going Home
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 […]

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 […]
Are We Listening to the Holy Spirit?
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?
