The phones began ringing before 8 a.m. We had little chance to cope with our pain before we were thrust into the incredible number of things that had to be done. "Can you confirm that Mr. Armstrong died at 6 a.m.?" I had just been informed of Mr. Armstrong's death myself, and I was in no ...

Personal from Herbert W Armstrong - Is it wrong to be a cultured individual? Is it wrong - is it extravagant - to purchase quality things? Some people pride themselves on lack of culture and good breeding. They actually brag, "We're just poor folks." They spurn good-quality merchandise, ...

It is the next to last day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. I'm writing you from my "office" in our G-II aircraft, in flight to New York, where I plan to speak to the combined churches of that area tomorrow on the last Holy Day of this Spring Festival. With me is Robert Fahey, my execut ...

More Opposition — More Growth! I HAD GONE on WOAI sooner than we were financially ready.

This has been the MOST SERIOUS year of the Work of God so far. Never before has God given us such a leap forward in television coverage and PLAIN TRUTH circulation as in these past six months. GOD'S TIME HAS COME TO SPEED UP HIS WORK WITH DYNAMIC AND TREMENDOUS POWER! Time for completing the GREAT ...

I would like to announce something that gives me great pleasure. I had a choice of announcing it at the end of my talk or at the beginning, but it is the kind of thing that I don't want to postpone announcing even that much. My daughter Carol, whom Mr. Armstrong married last June at our home i ...

In this age of the "Sputnik" and "Explorer" earth satellites - in this age of TREMENDOUS change in all life and thought, caused by the fantastic scientific inventions of man - where is the voice of God's PROPHET? What does Almighty GOD have to say about the awesome time in whic ...

God offers Christians vital lessons through the Days of Unleavened Bread. What do these days picture, and how can they help you lead a happier life? The apostles were jolted!

Most churches and their leaders take for granted that good Christians should fight for their country during the time of war. Here is an example of this common and almost universal teaching today.

Personal from Herbert W Armstrong - No matter how joyful is your anticipation of the soon-coming world tomorrow in the Kingdom of God, your anticipation falls far short of the realization you will experience!

I personally felt a little foolish when a minister called on the telephone to congratulate me on publis ...
