THE PRESIDENT VS. THE POPE (Friday Church News Notes, April 17, 2026, www.wayoflife.org fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - U.S. President Donald Trump and Pope Leo XIV have been exchanging sharp criticisms. The pope called for an end to the Iran war and suggested that “delusion of omnipotence” is the driving factor. The pope said, “Enough of war.” Trump called the pope “weak on crime and terrible for foreign policy” and stated on his social media, “I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon.” We would make the following observations. (1) Trump, with all his imperfections, is a duly elected ruler of a nation and operates under the authority of Romans 13. The pope is a usurper who has zero authority from God. In the Bible, there are no popes, no pontiffs, no papal keys, no papal thrones, no papal crowns, no papal palaces, no.. see full report

Keepers at Home
April 15, 2026 (first published February 11, 2020)
“That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.” (Titus 2:4-5)
This is the Greek oikouros, which is a combination ofoikos (home) and ouros (a keeper). It means “one who guards the house, one who stays at home, domestically inclined.” “One who looks after domestic affairs with prudence and care” (Complete Word Study Bible). 1 Timothy 5:14 says the wife/mother is to “guide the house.” This is the Greek oikodespoteo, which is a combination of oiko (house) and despotes (ruler). It is a strong word, meaning master of the house, governor, manager. This was the role that Joseph had under Potiphar. “... he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand” (Ge. 39:4). The wife governs the household affairs under her husband’s.. see full report

Phebe was a sister in the Lord. She was saved. She knew Jesus Christ as her Lord and Saviour.
Phebe was a servant of a church. This was the church at Cenchrea, which was a seaport that served Corinth.

He said, “As we are so far from Earth and looking at the beauty of creation, I think, for me, one of the really important personal perspectives that I have up here is I can really see the Earth as one thing.

The Neglect of Hell
Updated April 9, 2026 (first published January 23, 2020)
Hell is a major and fundamental doctrine of the Bible. Jesus preached a lot about hell, but it is a neglected doctrine today, and this is one of the reasons why the fear of God is not before men’s faces. Take “Christian America,” for example. Even in the age of skepticism, a large percentage of Americans are church goers, but America doesn’t fear God because the vast majority of its pulpits don’t preach the fear of God. Hell is not the sweet, positive type of religious message that Americans want to hear, because they have been nurtured on cotton candy theology rather than the pure Word of God. If you listen to funeral sermons, you would think that everyone is in heaven, and that is emphatically not the case, for Jesus said, “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which.. see full report
