Herbert W Armstrong

Since last December I have been working diligently on the largest and most important book of my life. In real fact I feel I myself did not write it. Rather, I believe God used me in writing it. I candidly feel it may be the most important book since the Bible. It is named MYSTERY OF THE AGES. Actual ...

Greetings, in Jesus' name! We're sending you this special letter to announce the plans for holding services on the Day of Pentecost. Pentecost this year will be observed on Monday, the 26th of May. Services will be held as usual at the local congregations, with any special arrangements being mad ...

Where and when did the custom of observing Lent get started? I have heard that Jesus Christ, between the ages of 12 and 30, was in a foreign nation. Where does the Bible say He lived during those years? ...

It's time to bring you up to date on the most important activity on earth. Here we are into midsummer, 1981. I wrote to you at the beginning of this year that we were starting on perhaps the most important year of God's Work in these very last days of this world. We had been two and a half years ...

By now you all will have heard of the death of Herbert W. Armstrong on January 16, 1986. God's ways are higher than ours, and He sees what we are incapable of seeing. He knows our needs and He does take care of them, though not always in the way we might expect. ...

QUESTION: "In the Lord's prayer, the plea 'lead us not into temptation' must surely be a mistranslation. James 1:13 says: '... For God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man.'" ANSWER: You are right. In these verses, the word "temptation" comes from the Greek wo ...

Seven years isn't such a long time, but when you're spending that time in San Quentin, each minute seems to have its own sunrise and sunset. George Jackson (not his real name) has spent the last seven years of his life in that California prison, and he'll spend the remainder of it ther ...

God has given us significant and important victories very recently. He has opened new and extremely important doors for conveying His Gospel message to NEW AUDIENCES in NEW AREAS! He has delivered us, for the time being, from the foreboding State of California lawsuit that hung like a foreboding clo ...

Greetings once again from the Purchasing Department. Since our article on "Money-saving Discounts for Cassette Tapes" appeared in the Pastor's Report March 5th, we've received a steady flow of cassette orders. It is good to see that so many of you responded to our offer, and we thank you. ...

I'LL never forgive you," shouts an enraged husband haranguing at his harassed wife. "You've gone too far; that's the last straw. I've had it with you!" Would God ever talk that way? Many have pictured Him as a harsh hanging judge just looking for an excuse to unleash His fury agains ...

It is Sunday morning. I was especially impressed by two TV programs this morning. One showed a television evangelist in a camp of emaciated, starving and dying children and adults in Ethiopia. The evangelist and a doctor were working over dying people. Victims were dying almost by the minute. Many w ...

Personal from Herbert W Armstrong - How many of you will endure till the very end? Many have dropped off already. But Basil Wolverton endured through every trial and persecution to the very. end! One day, about 1936, I received a neatly typed letter from artist Basil Wolverton. He had been very angr ...

Mr. Armstrong's appointment of his successor was the latest example of how God has provided leadership for His people throughout history. ...

THE CITY of Rome. Called by men the "Eternal City." Over nineteen centuries ago the apostle Paul came to this remarkable city as a prisoner. It has been our blessing to travel over part of the same route taken by Paul as he finally reached the capital of the Roman Empire. Paul was greeted ...

In last month's study we learned about the absolute necessity of keeping the Ten Commandments. Although all 10 are very important in God's sight, He puts special emphasis on the Fourth Commandment the keeping of His holy Sabbath day. Do you know why God's Sabbath is so important? This study wi ...
