Brethren, LET US STAND FIRM in the truth of the Eternal
GOD! If ever I needed you to stand back of me as Christ's chosen
Apostle, IT IS NOW!
Last Wednesday we had the astonishing situation of Christ's
Apostle having been put out of God's Church under color of
authority of the State government, and Wayne Cole made the HEAD OF
THE CHURCH by the state civil government! And that in a country
whose very constitution provides SEPARATION of CHURCH and STATE!
I have never heard of such a thing in all my life!
But by Friday afternoon Christ's chosen Apostle was back
in power and Mr. Cole was OUT. God did not forsake us! GOD
IS STILL ON HIS THRONE! This is HIS Work--not that of MAN.
Never forget that! God is alive and well, and active ON HIS
THRONE!
Brethren, this has been a crucial ordeal--and it found me
with a sore throat and fever, threatened by pneumonia! But God
pulled us through! Never were your generous offerings, beside
God's tithe, so vitally necessary as now.
The group of "liberals" which my son surrounded himself
with, who wanted to alter and modify or change GOD'S LAW AND
DOCTRINES, are being put out. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN TEN YEARS,
GOD'S CHURCH AND ITS LEADERS AT HEADQUARTERS ARE IN HARMONY,
IN GOD'S TRUTH, IN PEACE, AND IN HIS LOVE!
With love and gratitude in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
