Satan the devil is in the world news again. Newsweek magazine came out with a three-page article about Satan the devil, but is there a devil after all?

Question 1: What good do my prayers do for others and the Work of God? Won't God intervene whether I pray or not? Question 2: You have often mentioned I Thessalonians 5:21 over the radio, telling your listeners to "prove all things." How does one "prove all things"? Question 3: My teen-age daughte ...

The Transfiguration, recorded in Matthew 17, Mark 9 and Luke 9, is an enigma to many. Yet this incredible event relates crucially to the soon-coming Kingdom of God, pictured by the Feast of Tabernacles! Notice the account in Luke 9:28-36: "And it came to pass... that He [Jesus] took Peter, John, and ...

Many of our Co-Workers MISUNDERSTOOD my letter of December 29. Some of them thought I was saying that Christ has called them to actually stand in a pulpit and preach—or to go out and preach on street corners, or to preach to every person they see, or to become a missionary. But NO!!! I did not mean ...

Personal from Herbert W Armstrong - A United States senator preached a sermon in a Methodist pulpit in Los Angeles. Of all things, imagine a well-known senator saying that patriotism is a false god to many people! And he is right. "Love of country can transcend the love of God," he said, "and we mus ...

PEOPLE SPEAK of "the dignity of man." But how little do they know, usually, whereof they speak! As humanity generally conducts itself, little of that dignity is apparent. Yet the true potential of man is utterly and incredibly beyond his ken. Ringing silently in my ears, as I write, are those strain ...

But how - and why? Why should we be concerned? What will the adults and leaders of tomorrow be like? Here is the truth almost nobody knows! Every decade sees a change in its youth.

The signs throughout Eastern Europe are unmistakably clear - the Iron Curtain is rusting away. But why?

Astronomy is a most popular subject and there is no lack of fascinating information that today's layman might study. Yet few are aware of the type of knowledge men in the second millennium B.C. had access to, nor could the average man care less. "Our ancestors were frightened by the phenomena of t ...

We've been seeing recently that whenever He proclaimed the Truth to multitudes, when He preached to them, He always spoke in parables, so they could not understand. He spoke in parables to cover up the meaning to them but explained the meaning in plain language to His own disciples because He had ...

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made. PEOPLE SPEAK OF "THE DIGNITY OF man." But how little do they know, usually, whereof they speak! As humanity generally conducts itself, little of that dignity is apparent. Yet the true potential of man is utterly and incredibly beyond his ken. DIGNITY of Man? ...
