From the Joe Crews Radio Sermons Series

	One of the most amazing stories to emerge from the lavish Federal hand-out programs involved a Chicago street gang and the First Presbyterian church. According to testimony received by a Senate subcommittee in Washington, D.C. over 600,000 promised by the Office of Economic Opportunity was used to finance the criminal activities of the Blackstone Rangers who used the church as a hang-out and...

Counterfeit Sabbath - Part 1

	People who live in the Washington, D.C., area generally find great pleasure in taking their friends and relatives who are visiting for a sightseeing tour of the Nation's Capitol. Always high on the list of things to see are the series of monuments and memorials such as the Washington Monument and the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials. Can you imagine the confusion, though, if one day as...

Counterfeit Sabbath - Part 2

	For over forty years the world's scientific community accepted without question a colossal hoax simply because it looked like great evidence to support a theory that they believed in. Now let me make it clear that they didn't believe this theory because it was scientific but only because they wanted to believe it. The fraud that took in the bulk of scientists for forty years was the...

Counterfeit Sabbath - Part 3

	An archaic remnant of early American history still exists on the law books of most of the United States. I am speaking of the so-called Blue Laws that restrict various activities of Sunday. The laws are religious and discriminatory but tradition still keeps them on the books. For example, in one state it is illegal to shave on Sunday, and in another it is illegal for a man to kiss his wife in...

Eighteen Reasons - Part 1

	Proponents of the growing humanist movement are attempting to change the social fabric of our times with their radical new labels for old sins. The most amazing thing is that many theological leaders are beginning to approve this liberal permissiveness. For a long time there has been a gradual slackening of support for the Ten Commandments, even in religious circles. The obsession for more...

Eighteen Reasons - Part 2

	One of the most frequent questions raised about the keeping of the seventh-day Sabbath concerns the authenticity of our present calendar. It is believed by many that somehow, somewhere, time has probably been lost in the centuries since calendars were first invented. This does raise an interesting issue, and one that should be explored thoroughly. If the days of the week have been confused and...

Forgery - Part 1

	We've been talking for a few days about the wonderful subject of the Sabbath that was written right into the very Law of God. To begin today I would like to call your attention to a very curious fact. Here it is: Christ and His apostles preached hundreds of sermons and they gave hundreds of Bible studies but never, no, not even one time, do we find a single scriptural reference where either...

Forgery - Part 2

	We have been studying now for a number of days about the great Sabbath question, one of the most perplexing, perhaps, that faces modern Christianity. Millions of people have been keeping, sincerely, no doubt, the first day of the week as the Sabbath, the day of rest and worship. Yet right in the middle of God's great ten commandment law there is written the fourth commandment which says, "The...

Forgotten Day - Part 1

	Many of us are familiar with the seemingly endless sheaves of paper called computer printouts. They give us, in a matter of moments, detailed information about events and things that have been programmed into the computer at an earlier time. Page after page of facts and figures is tediously typed out by the machine giving us a word picture of what it "remembers" about a particular item....

Forgotten Day - Part 2

	Friends, do you remember the news reports a few years ago when it almost literally rained cats and dogs on an American city? In a cloud burst not only rain but also various small animals and many types of debris fell on the bewildered people. In another place it rained fish and frogs. It was a rare phenomenon; but objects light enough to be picked up by strong winds have been swept away and...

Forgotten Day - Part 3

	Sometime after the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima in Japan, workers were sifting through the rubble and found a wrist watch whose hands were permanently fused into its face, forever recording the exact instant of the explosion, the moment time stopped. But time really didn't stop except for one tragic city and thousands of poor victims. Time never stops. lt is perhaps the...

God's Answer - Part 2

	In our last broadcast, we introduced the subject of evolution, and we promised to tell you today God's answer to evolution, to give the most authoritative explanation yet of evolution. We found yesterday, of course, certain basic tenents of the evolutionary theory. We told about three things that must be true, and must be proven true, before the theory of evolution can stand any test. We...

	Did you hear about the man who telephoned the U.S. Naval Department greatly excited to tell them he had found a way to destroy all enemy submarines? When the Admirals showed interest in his discovery, the caller eagerly explained that his plan involved setting the ocean in a boil so that all the submarines would be bubbled up to the surface where they could be destroyed. When...

Questions and Answers - Part 5

	Today we will be answering questions sent in by some of our radio listeners. Here is an interesting question which has to do with the condition of man in death. "Please explain I Peter 3:18-20." So we read these verses and find Peter speaking about the death of Jesus, "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in...

When God Said Remember - Part 1

	One of the most perplexing questions facing the religious world today is being deliberately stifled by many leading churchmen. The sincere inquiries of laymen and Bible students are being turned aside by those in authority. Yet the question demands attention and requires an answer. It is the question of the Sabbath. The reason it looms so large in the minds of so many is that it's a part of...

When God Said Remember - Part 2

	Yesterday we entered into a study of God's law and in particular the fourth commandment of that Decalogue. We learned that Jesus is our example in all things and He kept all the commandments of God. His life sets the pattern for ours. And the Bible says that He not only kept all of the commandments, but especially it was His habit to go into the synagogue and worship on the Sabbath day. Now...

When God Said Remember - Part 3

	Continuing today with our sincere search in the Sabbath question, we'll examine more Bible reasons for keeping the Sabbath commanded by God in the Ten-Commandment Law. We found that the seventh day is Saturday on our modern calendars. In fact, calendars bear witness in every home as to the true Sabbath day. Yes, the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord. We've been looking into some...
