Ancient Future Scriptural Online Church (AFSOC)

"We're the other AFSOC…!" (Founded: Fri, 16 Aug 2024, by Pastor Tom Kovach)

Jesus can be likened to a USAF Pararescueman. He was highly skilled and specially selected for the mission. He jumped in behind enemy lines. He knew that He was likely to die. He chose to do it anyway, "that others may live" -- forever.

Sexual freedom — WITHIN boundaries

A disturbing and dangerous trend has crept into modern Christianity — ushered in by intellectually lazy “people pleaser” pastors. The trend is to label sin as “freedom in Christ”. And, nowhere is this trend more prevalent than in the area of sex. It underscores the fact that were are living in not only the End Times, but also in the Last Days. The warnings of 1st Timothy 4:1 and 2nd Peter 3:3 should be read and taken to heart.

‘Mere religion…??!’

NOTE: If you have not already done so, it would be beneficial to read the About and Doctrine pages before reading this post. This post likely will ruffle some feathers. “Sorry, not sorry.” We are commanded by God to worship…

The secrets behind the veil

Today, as we are in the season when we begin to think about the uphill road to the Holy Cross, followed by the celebration of Jesus’ Resurrection, let’s “take a look behind the veil” of the Temple in Jerusalem.

Do not even MENTION…!

NOTE: Before starting to read this post, it would be helpful to have read the first section (the name of God) of the About page, and this other short post. Yehowah (God) takes His name very seriously. So should we….

Exodus 6:3 — PROOF of God’s PROPER Name

For many years, I have been trying to explain to people the importance of God’s proper name: Yehowah. (That is the proper rendition, in English letters, of His actual name. The spelling “Jehovah” is also proper, but only if you…

Regarding ordination

Apostle Paul has long been one of my role models in Scripture. I admire his intellect, his devoutness, his sincerity, his logic,, his tenacity, and his resourcefulness. Saul of Tarsus was educated as a Pharisee — a scholar of Biblical…

The ‘sin of Onan’ is NOT…

Genesis 38:6-10 tells the story of an odd man named Onan. Sadly, his story has been misused by many preachers for a long time. As a result, a lot of people have walked around with a lot of needless guilt.

Is YOUR church trying to ‘please the world’??

If you can’t tell whether you are at church or at a rock concert, then something is woefully wrong. If your pastor is trying to “please the world” by making church sound like the world, instead of trying to please God by making church sound “other-worldly”, then something is woefully wrong. If you need to wear earplugs because of the sound volume at church, then something is woefully wrong.

Major milestone of the Tribulation has PASSED

(NOTE: For those that are “short version” readers, there is a Summary paragraph at the end.) Monday morning (23 Sep 2024), I was watching a 700 Club interview with David M Friedman, the former US ambassador to Israel. The main…

The Book of … WOW!!

The Song of Solomon might be the least-preached book of the entire Holy Bible. That’s sad. The 7th chapter of 1st Corinthians is often called “the marriage chapter”. It has a lot of good advice about “how to get along”…

‘Unequally yoked’ — it’s MORE than only marriage

This is a recurring theme for me, personally, and as a direction for this church: I’m so thankful for the One-Year Bible. (If you do not have one, then I highly recommend it.) By having a regular daily reading, one…

Jesus in the Book of Job

There is a saying among sincere Christians that “Jesus is on every page of the Holy Bible”. Certainly, there are implications of the Triune God (one God, manifested in three holy Persons — one of which is Jesus) going all…

Gifts of the Holy Spirit — Rank and ORDER

Yehowah (the “proper name” of God the Father) is a God of order. As such, He wants worship to be done in an orderly manner. In the Book of Leviticus, He told Moses specifically to make the Tabernacle so long,…

We are COMMANDED to pray these

In the mid-1980s, I did a Bible search of the things that we are commanded to pray. The list is short, but powerful.  Feel free to share this as you see fit. 1.  Ask the lord of the harvest to…

Romans 1 — ‘against nature’

The first chapter of Paul’s letter to the Romans was written for both the Christian believer and the unbeliever. Although, in the earthly sense, it was written specifically to the early community of believers in the capital of the Roman…

Queen Esther and verbal Kung Fu

To set the foundation for today’s post, I must extol The One-Year Bible (NKJV). I have been reading some version of the One-Year Bible since 1989. It is an amazing study and self-discipline tool. This unique presentation of the Holy…
