I want to read to you something I hadn't intended to use. This is my mother's favorite text in the Bible. (She died at age 95 and a half. I'll be up to matching her pretty soon. I'm in my ninetieth year now.) The 133rd Psalm — Behold, how good and how pleasant it is when brethren dwell toget ...

IS GOD HARSH? Does God call on us to mistreat those disfellowshipped for sowing the seeds of discord in God's Church? NOT AT ALL! Let us UNDERSTAND THIS! Do we expect Jesus Christ to have friendly fellowship with SATAN? Do you think Christ is unjust in not treating Satan with what you might call L ...

Do young parents realize the supreme blessing - and responsibility - of having children? New knowledge is revealed in this article - even more important than a matter of life and death! THE REAL TRUTH ABOUT marriage and the FAMILY relationship has not been realized - even in God's Church! T ...

Youth Contributions: Income from our youth is holding up well. Normally, after school starts, the youth contributions to the Church drop off sharply. This year the figure is continuing to hold at five to six thousand dollars per week. This week a total of 143 letters contained $5,900.00, averagi ...

I flew up to Orr, Minn., again to speak to the second contingent at SEP - Summer Educational Program. This winds up the second camp at Orr for the summer of 1979. I found this second group (of teenagers) slightly larger than the first contingent, to which I spoke three weeks before. This SEP program ...

A Giant Leap to Europe! WE NEED, now, to go back a few years, to fill in some interesting parts of the story concerning the opening of Ambassador College in Pasadena. The reader will remember that a few of the church members at Eugene opposed the founding of the college. When I signed the lease-and- ...

Greetings from Pasadena. We are all fine here and in good health. The Personal Appearance Campaign, concluded here last night, went very well and we had about 550 average total attendance — even though we had earlier discouraged most of our Church people from coming. However, realizing that wi ...

Campaign Gets Under Way Despite Opposition: YOU'LL never get far, Mr. Armstrong," said a resident of the Jeans neighborhood whom I met on the roadside one day. It was during the time I was holding three meetings a week at the Jeans school house, 12 miles west of Eugene, Oregon. This followed the s ...

We take our readers, in this article, to Czechoslovakia, a nation locked in the heart of Europe. One day recently, while in Prague, a Czech friend asked me, "Is it true that workers are starving in America? We have heard that there are now soup lines in Detroit." "I am afraid someone ...

As an elderly apostle, John confronted many of the same problems that face God's Church today. What can we learn from his mission and message? For almost 40 years mankind has lived under the threat of the bomb. To what degree the hideous weapons that man has devised might be used is unknown, but t ...
