In the very first chapter of the Bible, God says He made human beings male and female. Few people, even in the world of religion, have ever stopped to consider why. On today’s program, Stephen Flurry looks at why God made human beings male and female—and at the confusion that results when God-ordained laws are ignored.

With the Islamic State now on the run, Iran is shaping up to be the big winner in Iraq, just as the Bible prophesied. On today’s program, Stephen Flurry compares two recent headlines with what we wrote in the Trumpet magazine more than two decades ago.

A new study in Zurich found the secret ingredient to happiness: giving! Add this to a long list of surveys that have verified an ancient biblical truth. To give is happier than to get, Paul said in Acts 20:35. On today’s program, Stephen Flurry discusses this and much more.

United States President Donald Trump’s speech in Poland and visit to the G-20 last week attracted a lot of media attention. But he gave another speech and attended another summit that may be more important.

Mr. Trump gave his complete backing to a new initiative that will, in his words, “transform and rebuild the entire region” of Central and Eastern Europe. A new alliance is forming in this region—one that Herbert W. Armstrong forecast 60 years ago. Trumpet contributing editor Richard Palmer discusses this new alliance and shows how it will affect you.

Also on today’s program, we discuss China’s rise as a naval power. Two weeks ago, China finished construction on one of the most modern and powerful warships in the world. This week China dispatches troops to its first overseas military base. What does China’s meteoric rise as a naval power mean for the world?

God wants us to be tougher. He wants us to fight like David and his army of giant-slayers.

Following the death of Herbert W. Armstrong in 1986, the leaders who took control of the Worldwide Church of God methodically destroyed everything God had built through Mr. Armstrong. But in 1989, the same God who raised up His Church under Mr. Armstrong went to work raising the ruins. On today’s program, Stephen Flurry looks back at the “mustard seed” beginning of God’s Work—and the miraculous growth we can expect when God does the planting.

One-third of the Holy Bible is prophecy. And approximately 90 percent of that is devoted to the pulsating present day. Yet that is the third you seldom, if ever, hear about today.

In Isaiah 10:5-6, God says He is sending correction to the nations of Israel. Correction is necessary because our people have become so hypocritical. Proof is apparent in the media, politics and even in the average conduct of our citizenry. Even as Americans celebrated their nation's independence, unspeakable violence filled the streets and the double-standard media carried on with business as usual. We are called to be different; God commands us to be sincere, truthful and a people of virtue as an example to this decaying world. On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, guest host Andrew Locher discusses America’s rapid downward plunge and what the Bible says we must do to avoid falling with it.

It’s an increasingly unpopular view, but it’s the truth: America is an exceptional nation. But why? Is it because of Americans’ work ethic, the nation’s geography, its mineral and agricultural wealth, or its political or philosophical heritage? These factors contributed to America’s greatness, but are not ultimately responsible for it. In today’s program, Brad Macdonald shows that America’s conception and subsequent success are the result of a specific prophecy made to Abraham 4,000 years ago.

Just over 50 percent of U.S. citizens are proud to be American, according to a recent Fox News poll. Should we be surprised that so few are proud of their country? America’s Communist-infiltrated educational system teaches young people that America is institutionally racist. The mainstream media continually undermine American history and insult the Constitution, meanwhile it glorifies socialism—a system responsible for failed nations like Cuba, Venezuela and Russia. Why are so few Americans proud of their country? Bible prophecy explains what made America great, and it explains why so many Americans have lost pride in that power.
