The surprising manner in which beautiful Ambassador College cam pus was providentially opened; and the first nation-wide baptizing tour. YES, THAT eventful year 1946 marked the very beginning of the ORGANIZED Work of God in these last days. And, as TWELVE is God's number of organizational beginnin ...

This issue of The Worldwide News contains a special section on family activities. I think the staff has done an admirable job with the subjects. Being a parent myself, I know many of you are going to say, "But how am I going to find the time to carry out all those good ideas?" I agree. But ...

Here are the answers to your most perplexing questions! Should we prepare meals on the Sabbath? Is it a violation of God's law to travel, to care for live-stock, or to harvest crops on the Seventh Day? Does God require us to attend Church? Or, again, is it a transgression of God's law to seek ou ...

I am returning from one of the most successful trips so far in this exciting NEW DIMENSION in God's Work. We are making a stopover for a few days in New York.

I HATE CHRISTMAS, said one department-store manager in California. "I hate the hypocrisy, the one-day Christianity of Christmas. I hate the commercialism - and I'm part of it. People don't even know WHY they're giving." What a paradox. At Christmas time, millions of families are drawn closer t ...

Personal From Herbert W. Armstrong - For about the past year, I have been thinking about the similarity of Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1. Both start with the very beginning of creation - and all things as we know them. And they have a definite application to God's Church, and His Work, as it is r ...

I want to THANK you, most sincerely, for your prompt and generous response to my appeal for special funds to finish the local church auditorium (at the rear of the large main auditorium) in the Tabernacle at Gladewater, Texas.

If you combine all of God's laws (as Christ did), all of God's laws and prophets come to two great principles - love toward God and love toward your neighbor. But there's a problem. If you don't know who your neighbor is, how can you love him? Reading in Matthew 22:37: a lawyer came to C ...

Time IS very short! Here is what is about to happen. WHAT LIES AHEAD, vital to us in God's Church, in the next very few years? Bible prophecy does not pinpoint precise dates - or even the precise year - of forecasted events. But there is an important prophecy in Revelation 10. The apostle John saw ...

Now THAT'S about the strangest question a minister has ever asked me, I thought. Here I was, a 19 year old who had attended the Church of God since age 11, and now when I approached a minister about the serious subject of baptism, he asked me the simplest of questions, "Do you believe God exi ...
