a Magazine of UNDERSTANDING
June 29, 1969
Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
I am writing from 39,000 feet up in the air, returning
from Jerusalem, where I left fifty Ambassador College students
working on the big archeological project for the summer. Half of
these students went from the campus in England, and the other
25 from the two United States campuses. They are uncovering 3,000
years of history. Articles to come in The PLAIN TRUTH will tell
you the exciting things being dug up.
I have just finished writing my Personal article for the
August number of TOMORROW'S WORLD. You will read it when that
issue arrives. But I want to send part of what I wrote to you now,
in this personal letter -- and even if you read part of it over a
second time in TOMORROW'S WORLD, I hope you will read it then, as
now. I hope you really like this NEW magazine, and that it brings
you very precious UNDERSTANDING, knowledge and instruction from our
GOD!
What I wrote in this Personal article is about the
GREATNESS, the POWER, HONOR, and GLORY of our God. It is in answer
to the question: "What is the GREATEST SIN that anyone can possibly
commit?"
For many years I have known what it is. But the
seriousness of it was indelibly impressed on my mind as I was

It was 3,000 years ago. David was king over Israel ln
Jerusalem. He was then in the very spot our students are digging
down to, now. It was in the heart of David to build a HOUSE FOR
GOD at Jerusalem. God said that David had done well in desiring to
build the Temple. But, because he had been a man of war and killed
many, David was not allowed to build it. God decreed his son
Solomon should build it, after David's death.
Nevertheless, David was allowed to make great preparations
for the Temple before he died. So David sent out a request to
God's people Israel for contributions for this special building
fund. The people were tremendously stirred with joy and
anticipation. They responded with GREAT LIBERALITY! In I
Chronicles 29:9 you will read: "Then the people rejoiced, for that
