Wars and Rumors of War
Dear Wake Up Family: Society is rapidly reaching a tipping point. Gas prices are skyrocketing, inflation is out of control, society is becoming more divided, families and friends are splitting apart, tempers are flaring, and hate is prevalent everywhere. News outlets exaggerate depressing stories, but the negative impact of events affecting each of us is […]
Living a Live by Choosing Faith
Dear Wake Up Family: Nearly twenty-five years ago, in July 1998, a small group of Bible students met in a classroom at scenic Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado. They were attending a Wake Up “camp meeting” as Larry liked to call it. Four years earlier, planet Earth had reached a significant, relatively unknown, milestone […]
Thank You for Sharing the Prophetic Story
Dear Wake Up Family: We are rapidly approaching the end of 2021 when people often think about the past and make plans (and resolutions!) for the coming year. Amazingly, this newsletter is the 378th monthly mailing produced from our small office in Bellbrook, OH. During the past 31 years, employees and many volunteers have worked […]
Government and Church Stifle New Ideas
Dear Wake Up Family and Friends, Nearly 300 years ago, the Irish philosopher Edmund Burke made the well-known statement, “Those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it.” In Bible times, the ancients believed the earth was flat and if you moved too far in one direction, you would fall into the fires of […]

Not So Fast” “Singapore Brings in New COVID Restrictions after Airport Outbreak” “India Reports More Than 343,000 COVID Cases” “Israel Attacks Gaza […]
Differences Between Believers
Dear Wake Up Family and Friends, When Jesus was on Earth, He opposed an adulterated religious system that had become ensconced in tradition. After He was crucified and gave the gospel commission (Matthew 28:16–18), His followers continued the resistance. Jewish religious leaders would not tolerate any belief that prevented them from maintaining their control. Despite […]
New Creation After Dark Days
Dear Wake Up Family and Friends, Spring is my favorite season of the year. After this last brutal winter, the warming temperatures spring brings are welcome indeed. Here in Ohio, we have four distinct seasons and it is gratifying to see each season come. During the winter, the snow provides a clean, white blanket that […]
