The Church of God
By Rev. William Duby, Founder & Pastor
1945-2001

Do you believe in God? I dare say that most will say they do. Only a few will say that they do not. It is common for people to say that they believe in God. I hear it all the time - I believe in God! You have probably heard the same thing. The majority of people in America will say that they believe in God. If they believe in God, as God believes, then I ask, why is there hell to be seen everywhere upon this planet?

Why is there so much violence? Why is there so much crime? Why are there so many homeless? Why is there so much corruption? Why is a whole generation of young people going astray? Why are the old so bitter and young so hateful? Why, why and why?

I have seen the people who say they believe in God do a lot of things that God wouldn’t possibly do. Believing in God is more than simply saying empty words. It is believing as God does believe in Himself. It is like you and God have the same belief system. Those that do, truly do, are considered the Church of God. The Church of God is the very Humanity considered by God to be representatives of Himself upon earth. These People are of all colors, races, creeds, national origins and sexual gender.

We’ve all heard that love is blind. God is so blinded by His love for these People that He sees them as He sees Himself - A Divine Perfect Spiritual Being. They may be called by some a Catholic, Jew, Christian, Muslim or Atheist. Unto God, they are the faithful. A People who believe in God, like God does His People. They do not say one thing and do another. They do as they say and say as they do. Their word is their bond for the Bond of God is His Word.

God is Spirit. The Spirit of God lives within His People. His People are in love with the truth of His belief. His belief system is their goodness to operate upon for well-being; simple People who realize that there is a higher power intuitively guiding them through the labyrinth of earth life. A principled People who know damn well that it is more blessed to give than receive. Go-givers who are the doers of our society. Light bearers of a forgotten age where love was the king of lawful obedience to common sense. A prudent People who respond when a charitable heart is needed to heal the wounds of the lame, broken hearted and downtrodden.

Believing in Jesus isn’t necessarily believing in God unless you believe as Jesus believed in the Father. If you do then you are a brother or sister with Jesus for like Jesus you believe in God and this gives God a psychic space to believe in you. I see many people say they believe in Jesus just like they say they believe in God. They do with Jesus like they do with God, this is to say, they spout off empty words. Words of rhetoric.

If you believe in Jesus like Jesus believed in the character He called the Father, you are in the same position with the Father as Jesus was and is. He is just as much in you as He is with the Father. You are one with Him because He is one with the Father. The Father has been seen in Him by you. You are seen by Him as being with the Father. This is your grace. He is in you, you are in Him and both of you are in the Father. Jesus said that by Himself - He was doing nothing - that the Father within Him was doing the works. Jesus believed that He didn’t have a life of His own. He believed that the life He had was the life of the Father.

Is the life you have the life of your parents, your own or the Father? Jesus channeled the following message: Unless you hate the life your father and mother gave you to believe in, you weren’t ready yet to become trained by His Father to believe as He did.

Those who have ears to hear… let them listen for well-being.
