We need to be thinking about the things of God and the things of the Kingdom of God, and devoting our lives to that - instead of just being interested in the world, and just taking time to come to a Bible Study Friday night and a Church service on the Sabbath, then the rest of the time living in the ...

Is God fair to teen-agers? Have you been robbed by the truth? Are the other kids having all the fun? Don't be fooled by the big lie! This is the sick, sick sex age of the roaring 60's. Today's teen-ager in God's Church has the greatest challenge ever in the history of the earth! Do you have ...

The Blessings of Abundant Living. One of our Church executives and I have a disagreement. He is a very appreciative man. He's always counting his blessings. I'm the most blessed man on earth," he insists. I flatly disagree with him. I tell him I enjoy that status. Like the apostle Paul, I f ...

On Friday, June 15, employees of the Church and college were updated on the latest developments in the Work. The session, in which Mr. Rader encouraged free and uninhibited questions on any topic, was very informative as many questions of interest to both members and employees in particular were ans ...

Biblical interpretation or "hermeneutics" is nothing more than determining what the Bible means. What is the correct meaning of the Scriptures and who has the authority to determine that meaning? This is Biblical interpretation. Some believe that the Roman Catholic Church has the authority to interp ...

(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.

Where did CHRISTMAS come from? How did NEW YEAR'S Day celebration start? How did we come to observe EASTER? What is the true origin of Hallowe'en, St. Valentine's Day, and other so-called "Christian" holidays? Where did we get SUNDAY? IN THE seventh chapter of the Book of Daniel is an amazing ...

I MADE a definite error in the January, 1953, issue of the Good News when I wrongly attributed a statement of crime statistics contained in my article, "Is Capital Punishment God's Way!" to Mr. J. Edgar Hoover, director of the F.B.I. I obtained this quote from another religious publicati ...

Personal from Herbert W Armstrong - IS IT WRONG to be a cultured individual? Is it wrong - is it extravagance - to purchase quality things? Some people pride themselves on their lack of culture and good breeding. Some people actually brag: "We're just poor folks." They spurn good-quality ...

What is a church? What is it for? What is a Christian? Now, you may feel you know the answers, but you know, a composite of over 1000 typical American Protestant families were questioned to their religious attitudes in a complete four-year nationwide survey initiated by a major denomination in the U ...

As instructed by Mr. Garner Ted Armstrong, the Financial Office has mice again embarked upon a program to find additional monies within our disbursement budget to be allocated to the media time buying budget.

Changes in the College; "I felt like cheering during service today when our minister, Vernon Hargrove, read your letter to the ministers about your changes at Ambassador College. I guess I'm saying all this because I want to send my daughter to God's college next year. I hope she will find ...

Pastor General Herbert W. Armstrong reported to a congress of leading ministers of God's Church earlier this year that world conditions are once again fast accelerating, indicating, he said, that we are in "the very last of the last days." How, then, can we as lay members get a better grasp of thi ...

Before I answer the question "WHERE is Headquarters?" let me once again define the word "apostle." An apostle is "one sent forth." Jesus Christ was and still is the HEAD of God's Church. But Jesus was NOT a "9 to 5" office executive. He kept moving from town to town. Had today's State of Califor ...
