Caught in Newspaper Business Trap: GETTING back into the newspaper business was a tragic mistake. A too dear price now had to be paid to learn an important lesson: when God once truly calls a man into His ministry, he must "keep at it, in season and out of season" (II Tim. 4:2). And if he attempts, ...

Of course, I know many do not even believe God exists. But just suppose and suppose that you, yourself, were God the Creator. You had created a perfect and beautiful earth. You put mankind upon it. You gave the earth rich soil to raise food and beautiful trees, plants and flowers. In the earth you h ...

Some in God's Church simply intend to "tough it out" until Christ returns. Literally, they are "ENDURING to the end" (Matt. 24:13) - but not the way Christ intended. Are you making their mistake? THINK BACK to the time just before your first contact with the message proclaimed ...

Personal from Herbert W Armstrong - Why so many different religions in the world? No two agree. Yet I suppose most feel that theirs is the one and only RIGHT religion. And then there are the millions, religious and nonreligious, who, through modern education, accept the theory of evolution. Evolutio ...

There is no end in sight to wars. The only visible prospect is accelerating escalation. Yet there is a SURE way the West could end the fear of nuclear war IMMEDIATELY! This surprising article is the conclusion of the article "1982-THE YEAR OF VIOLENCE?" in the previous number. MANY ASK, &q ...

It's taken a long time for an agency of the United States government to officially state what's really been known about smoking. For years smoking was thought of as just a habit, though a particularly bad habit, for many. The latest U.S. government view, shared by many health officials and suppo ...

Personal from Herbert W Armstrong - ON MY MOST RECENT visit to our campus in England, I was accompanied by the Managing Editor of The PLAIN TRUTH, Dr. Hoeh. He was reading a book. It seems he is always reading a book, for he is a scholarly man. The book's title caught my eye. It was My Life in Adv ...

Is there definite design and purpose behind human history? Or is history a meaningless series of random events? Many have wondered. Is history simply an arbitrary succession of events, a meaningless patchwork of random incidents, devoid of purpose? Or is there some sort of overall design or recurrin ...

Mrs. Armstrong and I are back at the college in England for a short while again. Do you realize the significance of recent events? WHY are the Jewish people in the nation they have named Israel staging this Nazi Eichmann trial in Jerusalem? Not because they are thirsting for his blood—but because th ...

In October, 539 B.C., Babylon - the greatest city of the ancient world - fell to a Medo-Persian army under Cyrus the Great. Less than a half century earlier, the famed city had reached th ...

I didn't think it would come to this," were the words of a diminutive Liverpool lady who stopped to chat with me in the shadow of a series of fire-gutted buildings - the former premises of local businesses. Two nights before Mrs. Margaret Thatcher had almost echoed her thoughts on a TV interv ...

Satan was totally obsessed with the destruction of Jesus. First, he had influenced Herod in an attempt to kill Jesus shortly after His birth. Satan had no doubt also desperately tried to destroy Jesus on many other unrecorded occasions during His young babyhood, and growing years. Satan again tried ...

Communism and "Christianity" bedfellows? Not quite, but both have one striking thing in common! What in the world could COMMUNISM have in common with interpreting the Bible? A great deal - only, very few have ever recognized it. Communism, of course, is many things. It is a doctrine, based ...
