Joseph Tkach – författare

If God is all-powerful and all-loving, why doesn't he do something about the pain and sorrow being experienced by the people he supposedly loves? How can he wipe hundreds of thousands of people out in earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and famines? Why doesn't he stop war, terrorism, and child abuse? Why doesn't he do something about the evil that lurks in the hearts of all of us? Well, he has.

In this lay-level commentary, Joseph Tkach explains lessons we can learn from various stories in the Gospel of John. The more we learn about Jesus, the more we learn about ourselves as well. With an overview chapter by Jim Herst, a chapter by Paul Kroll, and two studies by Michael Morrison

A series of articles about the differences between Old Testament worship and New Testament worship, and how that plays out in churches today, with different traditions and preferences.

Here are more than 320 short messages by Joseph Tkach - transcripts of the "e;Speaking of Life"e; video series. Each week, he comments on some aspect of life and faith. Included in this compilation are all the programs available on the GCI website as of December 31, 2016.

In this collection of articles, we present 10 basic doctrines of Christianity, with an explanation of the basic features of each biblical teaching. We follow each doctrinal article with two articles explaining how the doctrine makes a difference in our lives - how it encourages us to respond in a certain way. This series has been designed as a discipleship manual for new Christians, and was previously published with the title Discipleship 101. By Michael D. Morrison, PhD, and Joseph Tkach, D.Min.

In 1999, Ministry magazine, an Adventist publication, published a two-part editorial titled "e;Why the Seventh Day?"e; It's a good question. Michael Morrison responded with a letter of his own, praising the author for some points and questioning others. After a reply from the author, Morrison responded with an outline of why he does not think that the seventh day is not commanded any longer. There is also an essay about whether the Sabbath is a moral law, as Adventists claim, or a ceremonial law. How do we define "e;ceremonial,"e; and did Jesus treat the Sabbath as a moral law? Also included in this e-book is the long sermon by Joseph Tkach, then pastor general of the Worldwide Church of God. It was the "e;bombshell"e; sermon that announced that the WCG would no longer be a Sabbatarian church. This is followed by a couple of articles dealing with practical matters.

God isn't fair, and that's a good thing, says Joseph Tkach, president of Grace Communion International. If we received what was "e;fair,"e; we would not like the results! But God gives us grace instead, and that changes everything. It is good news for us, and it changes our life for the good.
