SHALL WE NOW CARRY THE GOSPEL TO O T H E R NATIONS ?
Hollywood, Calif. -- GREETINGS, dear Co-Worker family, in Jesus'
name. Once again I am broadcasting daily in a special series over
KMTR, at 4:45 PM, besides Sunday mornings at 9:30.
I have just returned from a conference with radio-station
representatives. They represent foreign SHORT-WAVE stations, and
are working now on availabilities for The WORLD TOMORROW program,
by which we can send the Gospel to ALL THE WORLD for a witness to
ALL NATIONS!
Think of it! Short-wave stations carry the Message many
times farther than standard-broadcast stations--come are powerful
enough to be heard almost around the world. The power of radio
makes it possible to send God's final Message quickly to ALL THE
WORLD! I believe God has provided this power for a purpose.
Now I need your counsel and advice. Some have criticized
because this work has grown even to its present scope and
influence. Some seem to believe that to remain humble, God's
work must always remain small in range and number of people
reached and helped. The question is, SHOULD the glorious Gospel
work to which God has called us--YOU dear Co-workers, our active
staff, Mrs. Armstrong and myself--should it GROW, and serve and
help increasingly more people, and proclaim the Gospel to
constantly greater multitudes, or should it shrink back to a
little work, little in doing good, reaching only a FEW?
Let's look to the Bible teaching, and Christ's commands.
Remember two things: 1st) the Bible reveals, everything God does
thru human agencies starts small and GROWS BIG; and 2nd) Jesus
said. "Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted,
shall be rooted up." But when God does the planting--when it is
guided by Him, watered by His Spirit--it is like the mustard-seed
of Jesus' parable: the smallest of all at the start but it grows
and grows until it becomes the LARGEST OF ALL! God started the
human family with one man and one woman. He commanded, "Be
fruitful and MULTIPLY." Today there are two billions of people on
earth! God started His chosen nation Israel with one surrendered
man, Abraham. Today Israel numbers hundreds of millions, and
ultimately thru conversion into the true spiritual Israel, this
nation shall include ALL the earth.
Unless a work, such as ours, started small, it is not of
God. But the work which God uses us to start began as small as any
work could possibly begin. There was no money--NONE! It started,
with nothing but willing obedience to follow where God led, with
abiding FAITH, and with hard work, in a little one-room country
school-house. But God blessed that first beginning eight miles
outside Eugene, Oregon, with a harvest of souls. A few months
