In this episode of Truth Unveiled, we examine how some truths sound too strange to believe—yet they are real. From unusual historical accounts to Paul’s message before the Athenians, we consider how God’s truth often challenges human reasoning. Most importantly, we look at the incredible plan of God to forgive, transform, and ultimately bring mankind into His family through Jesus Christ.
In this episode of Prove All Things, Robert Bates returns to discuss his study of God’s name in the Hebrew Scriptures. He examines Hebrew names, vowel pointers, ancient manuscripts, and passages such as Exodus 3, Exodus 6, and Malachi 1 to explain why he believes God’s name should be restored where it appears in Scripture.
In this episode of The Rooted Word, the discussion turns to James 3:13-18 and the difference between earthly wisdom and the wisdom that comes from above. The Bible study explores how knowledge, zeal, and even being right can become spiritually harmful when they are not guided by love, humility, and meekness. It challenges viewers to consider whether their words and conduct reflect peace, mercy, and teachability. This thoughtful conversation offers a timely reminder that God’s people are called to hold fast to truth while allowing the Holy Spirit to shape the heart behind it.

The Church of God International (CGI) traces its origins to the Church that Jesus founded in the early first century. Membership in the CGI consists of "called out ones" from around the world practicing Christianity as initiated by Jesus and furthered by the early apostles. The church begun by Jesus, the very one He promised would survive through the centuries, is alive and well. Today, disciples live the faith "once delivered to the saints" in this twenty-first century (Jude 3). They obey the same message taught by Jesus Christ, and they proclaim the same gospel taken to the world by the disciples. Members value the witness and teachings of Jesus Christ as the church's work.
The CGI home office is in Tyler, Texas. Incorporated in 1978, CGI has ministers and congregations scattered throughout the United States and Canada . We also have churches in Kenya, Jamaica, the Philippines, Australia, the United Kingdom and a growing number of countries around the world.
On May 25, 2026, Pope Leo XIV released his first papal encyclical, titled Magnifica Humanitas ("On safeguarding the human person in the time of artificial intelligence"). The encyclical deals with safeguarding human dignity against technological dehumanization. Why is the Pope so concerned with the dawning of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) age?
To understand why the Pope has had this document written, it would be prudent for me to give a brief explanation about AI to those of you who may not understand what could be coming in the AI age.
