Prelude to Ministry: I HAVE related previously how my wife nearly died of toxemia eclampsia shortly before our second daughter was born. Three physicians had warned us that my wife could never have another child. We did not know the reason then. It was many years later that we learned we had the opp ...

To further their own desires and ideas regarding war, many so-called "New Testament Churches" go to the Old Testament to excuse their beliefs or activities in war. In other Bible questions, they discard the Old Testament entirely. When it suits their own purpose, they wrest and twist the O ...

FOR three decades the illustrious Charlemagne has lain in his grave at Aachen. The great Emperor had revived the tradition of the Roman Caesars, and shown Europeans the ideal of a unified Christian Empire in the West. But Charlemagne's New Europe is not destined to endure. His descendants have lit ...

And today's news could be good if we knew the way. If we knew the way to peace, to happiness, to prosperity, to everything good. There is a way and we just reap what we sow. Well, why is it my friends that the teaching of Jesus Christ has not been taught today? Why is it that when God Almighty sen ...

The world is full of nominal Christians - but how many are Christians in deed? The Christian Bible makes it clear that mere belief is not enough. United States Senator Mark Hatfield recently quoted a very moving, yet indicting poem, "Listen Christian!" (by Bob Rowland), which reads as foll ...

(Editor's Note: The following proclamation was written by Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong to be read at the U.S. feast sites. It was then released to the press. We are reprinting it for the benefit of all the ministry world wide.) The continued persecution by the State of California through its Attorney ...

We have already seen two great proofs of the true Church of God. The first proof is one of the greatest principles of the Bible - that God is the Ruler in heaven and in earth, and that He actually rules in His own Church. We saw the threefold second point of the great sign God made betwe ...

Why doesn't God - if he exists - show himself to humanity? Why doesn't he appear and put an end to all the suffering and grief here on earth? A pair of glasses for God to wear? That's what the handwritten sign irreverently suggested. It was posted in the middle of a scorched, wind-eroded field ...

How much do you really know about OUR CHURCH - YOUR CHURCH? Have you supposed it was founded by or through the efforts of Herbert W. Armstrong? IT WAS NOT! Hundreds of you will be ASTONISHED to see the true history of this, our Church - GOD'S Church. This actual true and authentically documented h ...

Could you be overlooking some of the most basic principles regarding answered prayer? A major blunder. That's exactly what Henry had just made. "I simply don't understand why God didn't give me the wisdom to make the right decision," Henry sighed, shaking his head. Actually, Henry ha ...

Few theological questions loom as important to Christianity in the West as that of the primacy of Rome as established by claims to the labors, episcopacy, death, and burial of the Apostle Peter at that city. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia: The significance of Rome lies primarily in the fact ...

What's gone WRONG with today's professing Christianity? Do you know the way to make Christianity REAL in your personal life? "Well, here is the way I look at it," said an old gentleman with whom I was discussing the Bible. Then he proceeded to give me his personal interpretation of the pass ...

At the Crossroads - and a Momentous Decision: IT WAS humiliating to have to admit my wife had been right, and I had been wrong, in the most serious argument that ever came between us. Disillusionment, but to my utter disappointed astonishment, I found that much of the popular church teachings and pr ...

WHAT BECAME OF THE CHURCH JESUS BUILT? THE Christian Church in Judaea fled to Pella in 69 A.D. From that date the organized proclaiming of Christ's true gospel ceased! For the next hundred years, church history is virtually a blank. "Scanty and suspicious" are the records, says the histo ...
