Herbert W Armstrong

Are you thinking about taking your first puff? Who's making the decision for you? Do you like being manipulated? Do you consider yourself a conformist? These are important questions - as far as developing a smoking habit is concerned, your quality and length of life can depend on the answers. If y ...

This is the most difficult letter I have ever been called on to write. I would give my left arm rather than write it if that could nullify what Satan has done to make this letter necessary. In the past few weeks JESUS CHRIST, LIVING HEAD of God's Church, has moved dynamically to set God's Church ...

Do you remember brethren when you first came in to the Church? I don't know how long ago that is for any of you, I'm sure it's different for every one of us, but think back a little bit to just what it was like when you first came in to God's Church. And you remember hearing all about God wo ...

Do you always get along perfectly with everyone? Of course not. No one does. Strife, unfortunately, is common to all human beings. Jesus said that offenses are bound to occur (Matt. 18:7). He even gave a formula for reconciling Christians who become divided over some unfortunate occurrence (verses 1 ...

"Go for it!" "Try it, you'll like it." Or, as those from the land down under say, "Have a go, mate!" "We 'keeled' them!" said T-shirts and banners all over Australia last October. The yacht Australia II, with its innovative keel design, had just won the ...

Steve Martin and I returned just last night from a tremendously profitable weekend trip to Tucson and Phoenix. Not only were we able to have a good visit with all of the ministers and their wives in the areas, but we were also able to have a tremendously encouraging visit with Mr. Herbert Armstrong. ...

According to Josiah's wish, his grandson, then eight years old, was to succeed him. But he was removed from any opportunity to reign after ten days' time. Neither did Josiah's eldest son, Eliakim, succeed his father because the people of Judah believed he would regard the king of Egypt as thei ...

Did the Protestant reformers get back to the "faith once delivered"? Were they led by God's Holy Spirit? The naked FACTS in this series of articles are a revelation of long-hidden truth! The startling fact that rank paganism came in and took over the early professing Christian church is ...

Over at our place we are having our problems too, we moved in to the Lawrence Welk or are moving in to Lawrence Welk Village and we thought last night that we would spend the night in the new place, new to us. You have to be a senior you know in order to get into that Lawrence Welk Village, and than ...

WE HAVE just closed one of the most fruitful years in the history of this work. We have clear historical records of the condition of God's work, through human instruments, going back as far as 400 years. There has never been, in all that time, a period of such blessing. Brethren, God's work is g ...

It is the year A.D. 2082 as we reckon time. A spaceship is hurtling through space at a speed approaching the speed of light. Inside is a lone figure who has traveled many galaxies since the beginning of his voyage into the cosmos. Ahead of him is a solitary planet. A red light flashes on a panel bel ...

Autumn had come to Alaska. In the newly frosted areas, yellow and red leaves stood out among the green trees. I stood by our float plane and helped my dad pack the rest of our camping gear in the back. I was so excited. I was just turning 12 and this was to be my first big game hunt. My mom and litt ...

You don't hear much about sin anymore. It seems to be one of those words irrelevant to modern society. Is sin passé? What is sin? I was talking about this subject with several people recently. One American artist thought back on his life and his experience in the armed forces and said, "Sin is on ...

A longtime friend came to me with a problem: For years he had visualized himself a success, but now his dreams seemed far from fulfilled. As he put it: "I'm 45. I thought I would have it made by now, but what happened?" He had passed his prime without the achievement he wanted. Looking b ...

Run, run, run! Appointments, activities, assignments - run, run, run! Demands, decisions, deadlines - run, run, run! Schedules, services, Bible studies, seminars - run, run, run! Plans, programs, meetings, people - sound familiar? Stop, halt, cease, pause a moment! Step aside a minute and sit down w ...
