An Open Letter

To the true and faithful members of God’s Church

--  Worldwide  --

 

Dear Brethren in Christ Jesus,

In the open letters I am writing to all of you, I an writing as an older brother in Christ, having been born in 1926, and my wife and I baptized 51 years ago, and ordained into the ministry 45 years ago by God’s late apostle, Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong.

It is with this background in mind that I want to address the three pastoral letters written by the apostle John to all of you in this letter. 

Being of an older age and having lived through the better, and now the bad times, I have the same feelings of love and concern for all of you who are clinging to the TRUTH of God as did God’s apostle at the close of that first century for they were facing the very same grave dangers that could end their hope for eternal life as are we in this end-time.

It is for this very same reason that Jesus Christ led His late apostle, Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong, to write at the close of his life, Mystery of the Ages. I recall his saying, “There seems to be a voice inside of me, saying, ‘Write, write, write!’”

This led to this book that Jesus Christ wanted him to write to help us work our way through the Satanic cleverly written writings of our recent past and is continuing even now!  With that book alongside our Bibles would enable us to continue to remain in the light of God’s true teachings.

Though I am only a Church pastor, I do have the same Spirit of God dwelling within me, as did the apostle John. The Spirit of love and the truth of God, as do all of you who are of the very Elect of God.

Knowing all of us are facing a bewildering array of false leadership that has been numbered to be 300 or more.

Brethren, God is using me in these Open Letters to WARN you before the final closing of the door!

Will YOU believe FULLY what Christ said Himself -- as well as what He led His apostles to write, and speak?  Remember, each one of us is being judged as to whether we are truly BELIEVING and LIVING by EVERY word of God (Matthew 4:4; Luke 4:4).

Let all of us with love and great concern pray for one another.  I, along with others, pray earnestly for all of you.
