Greetings to all of you from us here in Pasadena. I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for returning the fleet vehicle questionnaires to us which reflect important information about the vehicles you drive and for which you are responsible. This broad spectrum of input on operationa ...

The great God of the universe created mankind for a stupendous, awe-inspiring purpose! That purpose was first revealed in the Garden of Eden. God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness" (Gen. 1:26). Your Bible reveals that God is reproducing Himself in man. God made ...

On Thursday, August 24, the first meeting of the Media Coordination Team was held. About 20 men, representing all the major areas of the Work, participated. All shared a real enthusiasm for both the concept and the initial execution of such cooperative and creative efforts dedicated to supporting Mr ...

A scripture which has puzzled theologians for centuries is I Corinthians 15:29: "Why then do those who baptize for the dead do what they do, if there is definitely no baptism for them?" (Author's translation throughout.) One scholar who cataloged al.1 of the various explanations of this v ...

As many of you may already know, Mr. Herbert Armstrong has started making half hour television broadcasts on the weekly Sabbath in Tucson. They will begin airing either at the end of June or the first part of July, finishing up the contracts that we have had for the Garner Ted Armstrong program. The ...

Do you know why Christianity is so divided? Where is God's truth being proclaimed? Human annihilation is nearer than we think! In a world torn by strife and hatred, man has devised several frightful ways by which he can destroy all living things! Year by year, this condition grows worse. What is t ...

In the Pastor's Report of April 17, some statements regarding myself were made, with the best of intentions, designed to refute the false rumor started by, regretfully, my son, that I am senile, my mental and other faculties failing, and that I no longer head the Work — and indeed he falsely ...

Last week we used up the remaining 18,000 PT newspaper inserts (a sample of which we included in the August 14 Pastor General's Report) in the Palm Springs Desert Sun, a newspaper whose readership is perhaps among the most affluent and influential in the nation. ...

What is the purpose for this ceremony? What does it MEAN in baptism? - in healing? - in ordination? Do YOU KNOW? WHEN you were baptized, hands were laid on you by God's servants for a real purpose. When you are anointed for sickness or injury, why are hands laid on your head during the prayer for ...

Question: Where is "Easter" mentioned in the Bible? Answer: From a child you probably believed that "Easter" signified the resurrection of Christ. For 1800 years the Western world has been taught that Jesus rose from the dead on Sunday morning. These are merely some of the fabler ...

A total of 171,000 letters and 45,000 telephone registries were received in the month of March. This brings the yearly mail count to just under half a million, and phone registries to a little over 144,000. ...

Most churches of modern Christianity envision Sunday as having replaced the biblical seventh-day Sabbath. They believe that the Fourth Commandment is no longer obligatory upon Christians today. Then there are those who feel it is not necessary to keep any specific day at all. To them, every da ...

We regret that it is necessary to advise you of another problem we have uncovered. Let us first say that it is not God's way to accuse. It is not God's way to make public accusations against an individual. God's way is to forgive when a person repents and to cover the wrong. This is what w ...

The day of miracles is not past. God still heals and answers prayers. Over the past few months, some very interesting and encouraging letters have been received telling about healings and answers to prayers. Also, Mr. Gerald Waterhouse is back on the speaking circuit and we've got the mail to prov ...

What a wonderful Festival we had! I believe everybody was pleased with the new Tabernacle, and much impressed by its hugeness —but already we are having to start operations to expand it 50% larger for next year! We could not possibly seat more than an additional 500 in the present auditorium. This y ...
