GOD! I have been threatened UNLESS I would do and preach what MEN
told me, contrary to the Bible. I gave up the salary I was once
receiving, in earliest days of my ministry, rather than preach or
act contrary to God's Instruction Book. That was in 1933, in the
very depth of the depression. We had nothing. I had no
automobile. I had only one suit of clothes, one pair of shoes,
being worn out WALKING over rocky graveled country roads to a
one-room country schoolhouse to preach. I said GOD has promised to
supply all my need. I am working for HIM -- serving HIM, not
people. From henceforth, I said, and my wife agreed with me, we
would RELY SOLELY ON GOD! That's the only way we could be FREE to
SERVE HIM FAITHFULLY!
They KILLED Jesus, because of His Message from God. They
KILLED John the Baptist for explaining what GOD'S LAW says about
adultery. My life has been threatened on the same issue. They
stoned Stephen to death for preaching JESUS' truth. Co-Workers, I
have never asked YOU what YOU would like to have me preach. I
simply proclaim what GOD commands me, in His Word -- and HOPE you
love HIM and agree with HIM, and want to be a Co-Worker WITH HIM,
as I do and am!
This world is today FILLED WITH VIOLENCE -- CRIME --
IMMORALITY -- SELFISHNESS -- GREED. Under our system of HUMAN
GOVERNMENT, swayed by lust for POWER, VANITY and greed, we have
nothing but PROBLEMS and TROUBLES, and NO SOLUTIONS!
That is WHY the living CHRIST is going to come down to
this earth VERY SOON, in all the POWER and GLORY of the Almighty
GOD, and take the rule from MEN. In the Almighty POWER of GOD He
will rule ALL NATIONS -- to bring us to WORLD PEACE, universal
PROSPERITY, vigorous health for everybody, and HAPPINESS in great
ABUNDANCE!
This great work is PAVING THE WAY! This powerful new
ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN is a mighty MASTER-STROKE greatly INCREASING
the IMPACT of this Work on this mixed-up and very sick world!
YOU are having a PART in CHANGING THE WORLD -- and, under
Christ, soon SAVING THE WORLD!
As I write, my son Garner Ted Armstrong is in England,
ready to fly over to Bonn, Germany, for a televised interview with
Herr Franz Josef Strauss, whom we believe may be the coming STRONG
MAN of EUROPE! He may be a man of great prophetic destiny. Our
own television staff, with TV cameras and equipment, have gone over
to record this momentous -- and perhaps history-making interview.
You will hear it on both radio and -- where we are on TV, also on
television very shortly. There will be an article about it in the
October PLAIN TRUTH.
Last week Chief Reddin of the Los Angeles Police
Department came to our own TV studios for a 30-minute color
television question-and-answer panel program with Garner Ted. This
will also be heard on radio. We are cooperating with both Los
Angeles and Pasadena police on helping educate people in OBEDIENCE
TO THE LAW!
