Happy New Year from Universal Church of the Living God and Seminary, Inc. - Universal Church of the Living God

On behalf of the Universal Church of the Living God and Seminary, Inc., I’d like to wish each and every one of you a blessed and merry Christmas. “Where is the one who has been born king of the World?  We saw His star when it rose and have come to worship Him.” Matthew 2 we have been receiving many emails from people condemning us for speaking about Christmas because it is not a Biblical holiday and because it is based on pagan tradition. However, it is our responsibility to educate both Jews and non-Jews on the birth of the Messiah, the prophecy about His birth, and what better day to do it on - than today, the day known as his birth-day. “For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder.  And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”  (Isaiah 9:6)  Today, all around the world, Believers are commemorating the birth of Jesus the Messiah, who brought hope of a restored relati...

Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the reign of King Herod. About that time some wise men  from eastern lands arrived in Jerusalem, asking,   “Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose, and we have come to worship him.”  King Herod was deeply disturbed when he heard this, as was everyone in Jerusalem.  He called a meeting of the leading priests and teachers of religious law and asked, “Where is the Messiah supposed to be born?”  “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they said, “for this is what the prophet wrote: ‘And you, O Bethlehem in the land of Judah, are not least among the ruling cities of Judah, for a ruler will come from you who will be the shepherd for my people.  Then Herod called for a private meeting with the wise men, and he learned from them the time when the star first appeared.  Then he told them, “Go to Bethlehem and search carefully for the child. And when you find him, come back and tell me so that I can go and worship him, too!”  After this...

After a year of problems with headlines about Obamacare, the Benghazi bombing, NSA spying, and the IRS targeting of conservative groups, MSNBC "Hardball" host Chris Matthews said Friday it's beginning to feel like a "very long presidency" for Barack Obama. "It feels like a very long presidency now. It feels like the seventh or eighth year of a presidency. It doesn't feel like the fifth," Matthews said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "It's a terrible year for the president,” added Matthews, a longtime vocal supporter of the president.

Former United Nations Ambassador Andrew Young tells Newsmax that it's a mistake to look at former South African President Nelson Mandela as a political figure and forget how his strong religious beliefs sustained him.  "Many of these African leaders of Mandela's generation were educated by Christian missionaries in South Africa," Young said Friday in an interview with Newsmax TV about the death of Mandela on Thursday at age 95. " "We forget, we tend to look at Mandela politically, but there's also a religious component there that we ought not forget," added Young, a leader in the civil rights movement and a former congressman and Atlanta mayor. Former US president Bill Clinton, who was in office when Nelson Mandela took power in South Africa, on Thursday mourned the death of a "champion for human dignity and freedom". "Today the world has lost one of its most important leaders and one of its finest human beings," Clinton said...

Sentilia Igsema (2nd R, seated), born in 1930 in the Dominican Republic to Haitian immigrants, poses with four generations of her family outside their home in Batey La Higuera, in the eastern Seibo province, October 7, 2013. For four generations Banesa Blemi's family, descendants of Haitian immigrants, put down roots as low-wage sugar cane cutters in their adopted homeland, and came to consider themselves Dominicans. Then, last month the country's Constitutional Court issued a decision effectively denationalizing Blemi and her family, along with an estimated 250,000 fellow immigrants born after 1929. "I have no country. What will become of me?" said Blemi, 27, standing with relatives outside the family's wooden shack near La Romana, the heart of the Dominican Republic's sugar cane industry and one of the Caribbean's top tourist resorts. "We are Dominicans - we have never been to Haiti. We were born and raised here. We don't even speak Creole,...
