James Russell, Elder;
Dear Brethren and Co- Workers,
Another Gregorian year has started and we look forward to serving you another year with the “Prove All Things”
magazine! It has been our pleasure to send this magazine out for 25 years! We started in February 1993.
As the return of Jesus the Christ draws closer, we must not let Satan and his demons draw us away from God’s
truth in His word! Matthew 24 shows us an end time prophecy. Christ has said, “And then shall many be
offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another” (Matt 24:10). And again Christ talking to
His disciples, “Then came His disciples, and said unto Him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after
they heard this saying? But He answered and said, Every plant, which My heavenly Father hath not planted, shall
be rooted up” (Matt 15:12-13). And in John 6:60-61, “Many therefore of His disciples, when they had heard this,
said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples murmured at it, He
said unto them, Doth this offend you?” Many people are offended with what we write in the “Prove All Things”
magazine, even though what we write we use scriptures “God’s Word” to prove all things!
Today, as we watch world news and see the chaos going on, with murders, rebellion and riots in the streets, we
know that Satan and his demons are at work in the lives of mankind! The Apostle Paul said in I Tim 4:1-2, “Now
the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing
spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron.” And
in 1 Pet 5:8-9, Paul exhorts us to, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion,
walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same
afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.”
The way to fight Satan and his demons is to follow the words of Eph 6:10-18, “Finally, my brethren, be strong
in the Lord, and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against
the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto
you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your
feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall
be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto
with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;”
With the news media, movies and television, we are bombarded with evil. The growing fascination in the
United States with horror movies and Satanism, its no wonder that the world is in such turmoil! This is exactly
what Satan wants. The news media are portraying and vilifying the Judeo-Christian faith, and conservative
Christianity in particular!
Again, we see the liberal media showing the conservative Christianity as an extremist wing of a white nationalist
party followers of President Donald J. Trump! This is another lie that is being said about people who want to
follow the founding fathers and the Constitution of the United States of America!
