In the heart of Melbourne, a group of university students came together with one mission: to make the city cleaner and safer. ASEZ, the university student volunteer group of the Church of God, believes that small actions—like cleaning up rubbish and reducing plastic waste—can lead to meaningful change. A cleaner environment not only makes cities more beautiful, but also helps raise awareness and reduce crime. Through the Reduce Crime Together Campaign, ASEZ continues to spread unity, love, and responsibility for our shared spaces. [Location Information] Reduce Crime Together Campaign (Cleanup Activity) Date: August 13th, 2023 Location: Parliament Gardens in Melbourne CBD (Central Business District) Key Initiatives Focus: Cleaning up rubbish and making the streets cleaner and more beautiful. Goal: By reducing the plastic waste and garbage in the city, the campaign aims to reduce the level of crime and increase people's awareness.

Penyangkal roh manusia mengatakan bahwa roh manusia tidak ada lagi sesudah kematiannya, karena ada tertulis suatu firman “Sebab pada hari engkau memakannya, pastilah engkau mati” (Kej. 2:17) atau “Orang yang berbuat dosa, itu harus mati” (Yeh. 18:4). Tentu saja, ketika orang berdosa mati, rohnya juga mati. Tetapi tubuh adalah keberadaan dari debu tanah, sedangkan roh adalah keberadaan yang diberikan Tuhan (Pkh.12:7). Oleh karena itu, kematian tubuh berbeda dengan kematian roh.

On March 23rd, 2025, members from the Church of God in San Diego and Escondido volunteered together for the 8,642nd Worldwide Cleanup Campaign. They joined with the Public Works Office in Imperial Beach to clean and protect the wildlife habitat. The 150 members along with Mayor Paloma Aguirre, Officer Wbaldo Arellano, and the Imperial Beach Parks and Rec gathered at the Bayshore Bikeway that runs along the San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The goal for the clean up consisted of beautifying the Imperial Beach Bikeway area. They removed invasive plants and brush within 80 cubit yards, and picked up trash and debris in the surrounding areas. The efforts of the San Diego volunteers were essential and made a significant impact on their environment. The clean up supports the Blue Carbon Initiative and they aimed to improve the air quality and restore the habitat for the existing plant and animal species. The Bayshore Bikeway is a beloved location by local neighbors and is a protected wildlife habitat. The city of Imperial Beach works to maintain it for the benefit of the local wildlife. Also they do their best to beautify the area as it is a high traffic area for residents and bicyclists. The San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge is home to beautiful wildlife in San Diego Bay. There is a diversity of endangered, threatened, migratory and native species that needs to be safeguarded. Through the event, the members of the Church of God worked together to remove invasive plants that threaten the native species. They were able to collect 10 tons worth of invasive plants and trash. The overall mood of the residents improved as they saw them actively involved in beautifying their community. The Imperial Beach Bayshore Bikeway clean up was highlighted and aired on Fox 5 San Diego. Mayor Aguirre expressed her thanks to the volunteers for continuing to help beautify Imperial Beach. She stated that she will “come out next time and put in elbow grease” with the members too. The Imperial Beach Environmental Officer, Wbaldo Arellano, expressed how the volunteers took care of a large area in such a short period of time. He explained that due to the lack of staff it is difficult to maintain the area. He appreciated the assistance from the members and mentioned that he looks forward to working with us again in the future. The Church of God will continue to support environmental projects that benefit our neighbors in the future. 0:05 – Opening 0:39 – Imperial Beach Cleanup 2:32 – Imperial Beach Officials and Residents Statements 4:35 – We Love You!

Di Zaman Ini Ketika Semuanya Digantikan oleh AI, Satu-satunya Yang Tidak Berubah Adalah Sorga Di zaman ketika AI menggantikan pekerjaan manusia, manusia secara bertahap kehilangan tempatnya. Di zaman di mana kedokteran, pertahanan negara, pendidikan, dan bahkan bidang seni dan sastra semuanya dapat digantikan oleh AI, umat manusia harus memiliki keyakinan akan janji Tuhan untuk memiliki masa depan yang bahagia selamanya. Perjanjian Baru yang Disimpan di Gereja Tuhan Adalah Janji Tuhan untuk Kerajaan Sorga Masa depan di sorga yang diharapkan oleh seluruh umat manusia terletak pada perjanjian baru yang telah Tuhan ajarkan kepada kita. Alasan Tuhan Bapa dan Tuhan Ibu datang ke bumi ini sebagai Roh dan Pengantin Perempuan adalah karena Mereka melihat akhir dunia dan ingin memberi umat manusia masa depan yang bahagia selamanya. yang memberitahukan dari mulanya hal yang kemudian dan dari zaman purbakala apa yang belum terlaksana, yang berkata: Keputusan-Ku akan sampai, dan segala kehendak-Ku akan Kulaksanakan, Yesaya 46:10 Ialah membuat kami juga sanggup menjadi pelayan-pelayan dari suatu perjanjian baru, yang tidak terdiri dari hukum yang tertulis, tetapi dari Roh, sebab hukum yang tertulis mematikan, tetapi Roh menghidupkan. 2 Korintus 3:6
