represents BUYING POWER. It represents a FORCE in your life with
which you can ACCOMPLISH! And what is the most singly IMPORTANT
WORK you can accomplish today? It SHOULD be the very calling of
God -- the commission of Jesus Christ to His true servants for this
time, to PREACH THE GOSPEL to all nations before the climactic END
OF THE AGE is upon us!
The time is growing mighty SHORT!
PROPHECY is racing to fulfillment right before your eyes!
You are LIVING JUST BEFORE THE END OF AN AGE!
Dear Co-laborers with Christ -- that means we have only a
SHORT time, now, to FINISH THIS GREAT WORK! Is ours a truly
UNSELFISH work? Are we trying to build something for OURSELVES?
NO! We are trying to extend ourselves to the utmost parts of this
world with the GOOD NEWS about God's soon-coming WORLD RULE! The
GOSPEL of the KINGDOM OF GOD!
WHILE we are still privileged to broadcast Christ's message
-- to proclaim it on radio and Television, and to print it on our
presses -- we need to be busier than ever before -- WORKING,
STRETCHING, SACRIFICING, urgently zealous to reach every single
person we can before it's too late!
We need to get Christ's message into JAPAN! We need to
find ways to reach WHOLE NATIONS that have not been touched as yet.
And we need to more effectively reach even the United States and
Canada!
And, temporarily, the businesses of this world are still
continuing along with a shaky confidence in the DOLLAR!
So now, THINK about your dollars for a moment. Do you
still have some "confidence" in THIS WORLD, and in its financial
systems? Are you "laying up treasure where thief doth enter and
rust doth corrupt" or are you laying up treasure toward the KINGDOM
OF GOD? Is your money stagnating -- is it lying DORMANT -- where
it may be literally SNATCHED AWAY from you in a moment? Or is it
PRODUCING, WORKING, DOING something constructive?
Are you thinking of a purely MATERIAL "security" for years
ahead, when you KNOW Bible prophecies SHOUT that the END OF THIS
AGE IS NEAR? Or are you thinking of the SAME KIND of security that
was ABRAHAM'S goal, and that of all the prophets and Apostles?
Think about your "money." Is it something REALLY tangible?
Or is it only a piece of PAPER in which man temporarilY retains a
certain confidence? And then think about WHERE THAT MONEY CAN BE
PRODUCING THE GREATEST GOOD! Where can it be buying PAGES OF
TRUTH? Buying MOMENTS OF TIME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL? Buying ink,
and paper, and stamps for mailing out the precious truths YOU have
been learning to THOUSANDS OF OTHERS?
The final CRISIS is fast descending upon us. Soon MONEY
