I saw a humorous little sign once that read, "Don't feel useless - you can always serve as a bad example!" Unfortunately, this observation describes precisely the good that came out of ancient Israel's existence. Beginning at the Red Sea, Israel failed in their first of many opportunities ...

Well, greetings friends and brethren in Pasadena. I want to tell you that God is still on His throne. Of course, you know that He won another battle for us this week. The receiver is gone. But the war is still on - it's not over yet. Our attorneys are doing a fine job, but the massive court action ...

The rich spiritual content of the book of Ruth, so meaningful during the Pentecost season, IS often overlooked. The English Bible does not reflect the original position of the book of Ruth. Today we find it sandwiched between the larger books of Judges and I Samuel. However, in the Old Testament as ...

Mr. Armstrong has renewed and renamed the WATS line messages in order to keep the members informed. Concerned that the ministry and brethren need to be updated, Mr. Armstrong will be making as many of the weekly or twice-weekly tapes as possible. He has asked his staff and others at Pasadena to fill ...

Did you ever wonder what has happened to your relatives and friends who have died? Do you know what Jesus Christ said about that? Most people don't know what these things are, but in John 5 verses 28 and 29 Jesus said; "... the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his ...

Excitement fills the air in Pasadena as the new sabbatical ministers begin arriving for a year of challenges, development, and growth! Each of them, as well as every one of us ministers worldwide, needs to recognize this is a tine to rededicate ourselves to the very special calling that the Great Go ...

Most of us cannot help but marvel over the lovely innocence of beautiful children cooing away in their cribs, crawling on the floor or scampering about the play area outdoors. Neither can we help but believe there are angels who constantly protect these little ones from injury or death as t ...

During His ministry, Jesus Christ taught obedience to God as He preached the good news about the coming government of God on earth. "Repent ye, and believe the gospel," was the essence of His message (Mark 1:15). Over and over again the Bible emphasizes repentance from sin. And sin is defined ...

It's early. Very, very early. In fact, it's even darker outside your home now than it was last night when you went to bed. Somehow you sleepily stumble into your finest new clothes, wake the kids, get them dressed , walk out into the chill morning air. It's just a short trip to a special local ...

Here in Rome the big news is the Italian political crisis. Combined with other events, this could lead to an explosive WORLD CRISIS such as never shook this world before. It's not my intention to report the news, but to EXPLAIN WHAT IT MEANS—WHERE IT MAY LEAD—how it may shake up YOUR LIFE! News re ...

How would you react if God suddenly spoke to you - and warned you to take drastic action to save your life? Would you listen? Would you heed? Few realize that God has already spoken to us today: "God, who... spake in times past... by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son" ( ...

PURE SPECULATION? No! There is a Biblical account of a man who actually was Christ's brother. His life story is full of lessons for us. James — the author of the book of James — is very distinctly called "the Lord's brother" (Gal. 1:19). His mother was Mary. Let's briefly examine his story and ...

And now, my friends, let's get prophesy straightened out. What is going to happen next? Where are we now in the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy? What is going to lead down to the world tomorrow; the second coming of Christ. What about Armageddon; when does that come? Is Russia going to attack, is ...

Why are so few being converted today? And why were YOU chosen to be among those few? Here is the real meaning of God's third annual Holy Day Festival - and VITAL to your salvation! THE churches of this world teach that this is the only day of salvation - that all who will ever be "saved" ...

GREETINGS! Here we are again, racing the test of the Christmas shopping season. Just as our revitalized Television program is beginning to take hold on the public — just as we enter the stiffest crisis of this financial tight squeeze, we come to the season when people FORGET their gifts for Christ a ...
