Compass Check: Winter 2019

Talk about variety! There is something for everyone in our winter issue of Compass Check magazine. Vaping is in the news across the U.S., and a new writer to CC has written a very informative article about this new health danger. Are you “B.U.S.Y.”? Check out this helpful article. Also notice Part Two of “Understanding Prophecy.” This series explains how God is fulfilling the promises He gave to Abraham. 

iHuman, Part One, shows how sophisticated your body is and how incredibly powerful and intelligent the Master Creator God is since He designed and made you. The Q/A in this issue is about gender issues and we have had questions about this topic at camp last summer. 

And beginning next issue, we will tackle your questions in a new column called “Dear Compass Check.” We will have guest writers (both men and women and camp staff) answer your questions. Compass Checkers—we need your questions! What’s on your mind? What specifically can we help you with? Make your questions to the point so our answers can be helpful to you. 

Email your questions to: compasscheck@ucg.org and we will do our best to include your question and an answer in future issues of CC magazine. We want to hear from you!
