The Pub- lications Committee is in discussions with our publisher, Panaprint, to change the publication of the Masonic Messenger from Bimonthly to quar- terly; going from 32 to 48 pages. This will result in a cost savings of over $17,000. A specific date for transition has not been determined. Your Publi- cations Committee is always working to improve your Masonic Messenger and we ask for your input on what you would like to see included in the mag- azine.

  • Masters of Truth Fathers of Lies
    MASTERS OF TRUTH FATHERS OF LIES 1 This book is dedicated to all those brave folk who made the ultimate sacrifice to maintain justice, truth and freedom in a world riddled with corruption, and to those equally brave people who continue the fight no matter what the cost - they are indeed few in number. Unless justice, truth and freedom are maintained, the world will not survive the onslaught of the corruption and greed of mankind. “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” John 8 v 44. “The first wrote, ‘Wine is the strongest.’ The second wrote, ‘The king is strongest’ The third wrote ‘Women are strongest: but above all things Truth beareth away the victory’.” 1 Esdras 3 v 10.. For every book sold, £1 will be contributed to the funds of “FAME’97” 2 NOW AVAILABLE ON MULTI-MEDIA INTERACTIVE CD “THE TRUTH” A REVELATION IN VIDEO, SOUND, GRAPHICS AND TEXT - HOW AND WHY THE HISTORY OF THE 20TH CENTURY WAS PLANNED AND BY WHO.

    Book Review: Ron Rhodes: Reasoning from the Scriptures with Masons A Review by David S. Julian © 2004 David S. Julian DAY JEWEL PUBLICATIONS 16052 - 46th Ave S Seattle, WA 98188 (206) 246-6460 www.dayjewel.com 1 Reasoning from the Scriptures with Masons The author of the book On the book’s back cover, Ron Rhodes, Th.D., correctly states that “Masons establish and maintain Children’s Hospitals, provide free medical treatment to needy children, work actively in their communities, and promote high moral standards.” The author is identified as the President of Reasoning from the Scriptures Ministries, whose own website describes itself as a “nonprofit corporation.” But nothing on the RSM website even remotely resembles the generosity of Freemasonry quoted above. The website actually appears to be nothing more than an online bookstore for Rhodes’ books and newsletter, run out of a P.O. Box in Frisco, TX, a north Dallas suburb. According to the book, however, RSM is run out of a P.O. Box in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA, a south Los Angeles suburb near Mission Viejo. The book’s cover also identifies Rhodes as a “noted researcher and Bible scholar” but most of his premises turn out to be just another recycling of the same anti-everybody-but-us phoney-baloney from Harvest House, the publishing arm of the John Ankerberg Show. To get the potential book-buyer’s attention, the back cover displays the usual “secret name for God”, “Baal and Osiris”, “occultic”, and “hidden rituals” buzzwords. The back cover also claims there is an “easy to follow guide ..

  • Faith Hope and Charity
    "FAITH, HOPE, AND CHARITY" In the Entered Apprentice lecture we learn that the covering of a lodge is a clouded canopy, or starry-decked heavens, where every good Mason hopes at last to arrive. We learn about that spiritual ladder Jacob saw in his vision, from Genesis Chapter 28: "And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it." Masonic tradition informs us the three principal rungs are labelled Faith, Hope and Charity. But interestingly, those words do not appear in Genesis, but rather 1 Corinthians Chapter 13: "And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity." The men who crafted our ritual saw fit to unite these ideas, and they work together well, if separated a bit biblically. Let us expand on these virtues, how they relate to Freemasonry, and how to pursue them in our daily lives. FAITH Faith and religion are often confused; religion has been defined as: 1 "The belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods." While faith is defined in Hebrews 11: "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." You might say, faith is trusting in something you cannot explicitly prove. You must have faith in God to be a Mason. But how you exercise that faith, the doctrine you follow, the means of expressing it, may rightly be called your religion, and that decision is left to the individual Mason.
