You and I are faced, right now, with the most serious problem ever to confront any of us. This is more important than our own lives. It's too big for us, alone. We're going to have to have a lot of help from God. But we are going to have to wake up to the real seriousness of it—we're going to ...

None of us seems to find enough time to accomplish all we would like to in this life. Do unrealized potentials die with us? Or are there future opportunities - somewhere beyond death?

LEARNING TO BE A KING, TO SHOW his appreciation to Abner for helping unite Israel and for bringing Michal to Hebron, David prepared a feast for him and his men. Thus David's first wife was at long last given back to him, and at the same time Abner had the vengeful satisfaction of ruining Ish-boshe ...

The letter was written by a young boy named Peter. He had been taught about God — told God would protect, preserve, heal. But his brother, Tommy, was dead. Why? Why does God allow tragedy? Why do innocent babies suffer? Why the caprice of tornado, hurricane or typhoon? Why, if there is a God, does G ...

Blizzards, rampaging floods, lashing hurricanes whipping up waves the height of seven-story buildings. Something is DRASTICALLY WRONG with the weather! What does it all mean? SCREAMING headlines are pointing up alarming changes in the weather. "Century's Worst Cold Wave Smashes South," "Blizzards ...

Paradoxically, millions of our people live in fear of crime. Still, attitudes toward criminals continue to soften - some crimes are so sensationalized the culprits are virtually praised as heroes.

WHEN Jonathan overran a Philistine garrison, King Saul called for men to come to Gilgal to get ready for war with the Philistines. Thousands of Israelites obeyed the summons. (I Samuel 13:1-4.) But when they learned that a huge fighting force of enemy foot soldiers, horsemen and charioteers was appr ...

If the Bible truth were known, thousands would never have "chosen" the ministry as their profession! Should you teach, preach, or "witness" for the Lord? How does God call His true ministers? "I've been called to preach!" said the eager young man to the elder pastor. ...

I would like to announce something that gives me great pleasure. I had a choice of announcing it at the end of my talk or at the beginning, but it is the kind of thing that I don't want to postpone announcing even that much. My daughter Carol, whom Mr. Armstrong married last June at our home i ...

Man would like to get rid of the Bible. He's tried. for some reason, however, that ancient Book refuses to roll over and play dead. It keeps on impartially proclaiming, "Here is Truth," in face of a barrage of criticism unparalleled in the history of literature. There are those who will tell you t ...
