lie. But, in Satan's world, such is the system that news media
may print the accusation in HUGE TYPE, and then, when the charge
is disproved, either print nothing or a small blurb back about
page 13 where no one will see it. The damage to one's good
character is done. Such damnable methods will not be used
in the WORLD TOMORROW, my brethren!
But when this suit came for a hearing in court, Friday
afternoon, January 5th, GOD GAVE US THE VICTORY. Although
our records were seized, NO EVIDENCE of any wrongdoing had
appeared. Incidentally, because of accusations from enemies
of God's Work, the Internal Revenue Service of the national
government had somewhat recently conducted a thorough
investigation of our books and records lasting 18 months,
and there was no evidence of any wrongdoing or, as accusers
in the present suit alleged, "syphoning off" of Church funds
to our own private accounts.
In the Court hearing Friday, the Court ordered all our seized
records returned. God gave His Work the VICTORY!
Brethren, every time you send us your tithes or offerings,
you are, in fact, giving Christ's Work under His Apostle a vote
of CONFIDENCE. It might be well if you stated that fact in your
letter as you send it. Also it will help God's Work if you also
state, in sending money for the Work, that you are sending it
for the PURPOSE of fulfilling Christ's Great Commission--of
proclaiming the Gospel Jesus taught INTO ALL THE WORLD FOR A
WITNESS TO ALL NATIONS!
Brethren, there has been a CONSPIRACY against this Work,
although I ascribe it primarily to Satan, who can DECEIVE men
into doing his destructive work.
Those members involved in precipitating this suit, so far
as I know who they are, have been disfellowshipped from the Church
of God.
For some few years now, there had been a certain group at
Headquarters, whom my son surrounded himself with, who have wanted
to "water down" God's truths and doctrines. They seem to have
wanted to get as close to the ways of Satan as possible, still
keeping "one foot" in God's Church, hoping thereby to get into
the Kingdom of God.
I want to get as CLOSE to GOD's true doctrines as possible,
and as far away from Satan's ways as possible.
If there is any reason why the living Christ chose me as
His Apostle, it is that I will not compromise a thousandth of
an inch on God's true doctrines.
Did you ever realize GOD won't compromise with them? No
doubt God had the POWER to just forgive us our sins, without
having to give His only begotten Son Jesus to pay our penalty--
and Jesus had to give His LIFE to pay our penalty rather than
compromise with His Law!
