"Strange, bizarre sect" was one magazine's appraisal. "They meet in secret," said another. "You can't find out anything about them," complained a newspaper. "They must be Communist, or something" says a bewildered citizen. Persecution? Or the natural reaction to our own "fear syndrome ...

Most educated people today think of God in extremely vague terms. Why? Do you know how you can PROVE that God exists - PROVE that He is a REAL Spirit Personality?

What is the most universal erroneous and false belief and teaching - that has caused the world's evils, troubles, sufferings and sorrows? Fifty-three years ago I said to my wife, "All these churches can't be wrong!" Well, could one single denomination of traditional Christianity - whet ...

Personal from Herbert W Armstrong - How grateful we should be that the great God has seen to it in all ages that HIS TR UTH could not be erased from human accessibility! Ever since the time of Jesus Christ there have been organized conspiracies to destroy the Bible. Jesus Christ started God's Chur ...

Recently in the news, warnings of a nuclear winter. Now, we're warned that a nuclear war would produce an earth-covering cloud.
