Is it the CHURCH? Is it something "set up in the hearts of men?" Is if the British Empire? Is it "the God within you?" Is it "the Millennium?" Each of these is widely taught - yet none is right! The shocking TRUTH is here made PLAIN! Why cannot the churches agree on wha ...

It is natural to sympathize with the underdog - the fellow who is persecuted or "picked-on." Let US understand again how this applies in God's Church. HAVE you ever had what is known as a "suffering hero" complex? Chances are, you probably have. Most of us have it once in a great while, but quickl ...

THE ENVOY - like so many other facets of this burgeoning Work of God - grew over the years from a very modest college annual into its present unique form. It stands in a field of its own. There is no other book of its type in the world! It has served many purposes. It has been student annual - WORLD ...

Mr. Armstrong has been talking quite a lot recently, noticed it in the mail you've been receiving. You also should have noticed it in both the films. And I was sitting there next to Mr. White, both last night and this morning kind of jiving him a little bit and kidding with him on my behalf. I sai ...

In SEVEN major gatherings around the world, God's people rejoiced in the greatest spiritual Feast in centuries! And SEVEN more ordinations took place! "THOU shalt observe the Feast of Tabernacles seven days... and thou shalt REJOICE in thy feast" (Deut. 16:13-14). Believing in obedience, God+ ...

Again GREETINGS! Here is another month ended—we had to send another $18,000 payment to the Behlen Manufacturing Company eleven days ago for the July payment—yet all of the members of the Church of God in the United States, now several thousand of us, have only SENT IN ONLY $11,190 for the whole mont ...

I would like you to turn over with me to Isaiah chapter 40, Isaiah chapter 40 beginning now with verse 9, "O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that brings good tiding, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah ...

Every parent has problems controlling his or her children occasionally, even in Sabbath services. One member quite seriously told her minister, "I know I'll miss the next two years of services now that I have a new baby." Is this the fate of parents with young children? Are new mothers a ...

Mr. Armstrong readies for trip; ankle better - 'Plain Truth' beefed up; 'GN' to be discontinued - Teen picks up prize for a song - Talks held with Prime Minister Ian Smith - Jose Iturbi: bullheaded, but disciplined - Painting helps unwind - Family museum holds years of memories - Ginger grow ...

If conversation is a lost art, nowhere is the loss more keenly felt than in the family. Up against the tyrannies of tight schedules, pervasive television and video watching and all the other stresses of modern life, some families only go through the motions of communicating. Daily, teens write to Yo ...

Question: "Explain, if you will, the parable of the ten virgins - five of whom were wise - and five foolish." Answer: The WORK OF GOD, proclaiming to the whole world the good news of the KINGDOM OF GOD, was started by one man - Jesus Christ. Jesus chose and called His disciples. The word & ...

NEWS FLASH: The Pope at Rome and the Patriarch of the Greek Orthodox Catholic Church vowed last Thursday to reunite their two Churches, which have been divided for 900 years. This is significant news. Far more significant than the world realizes. It means events leading to the unprecedented Great Tr ...

The apostle Paul wrote that God's people should be "stedfast, unmovable" (I Cor. 15:58). How can we develop this quality of stedfastness? Every visitor to the ruins of ancient Persepolis in southwest Iran is struck by the sight of 13 soaring stone pillars. Of 100 original columns in Dari ...

THE BUSTLE of excitement was great here in Pasadena as students and church brethren alike prepared to leave for beautiful scenic Oregon and the Feast of Tabernacles. Some left by train, others by cars, while others went by chartered bus with no outsiders to disturb. On the night of the 15th of Octob ...

A very pleasant good morning to you all, it's a real opportunity to be able to speak when in Pasadena and any of the Church congregations. Mr. Tkach mentioned to me the other day that I would have the opportunity to speak in the Imperial A.M., I was very, very gratified because it gives me an oppo ...
