Dear Co-Workers for Christ:
Here is the most important news I have ever been able to
send you Co-Workers about the progress of God's Work!
I've been telling you that we have reached the supreme
CRISIS---the CROSS-ROADS---and whether the work goes down and DIES,
or takes a new road to a nation-wide and world-wide impact of POWER
such as we never dreamed of before, depends on what happens right
now!
God Almighty has promised He will never forsake the work He
has begun! God keeps His promises! He has now opened new doors---
launched His great work forward on a new road of accelerated and
multiplied power that will astonish us all!
Our GOD keeps His promises! He has not forsaken His work!
But first,---in my last letter I told you my heart was heavy as
lead. Actually hundreds of YOU CO-WORKERS have been forsaking GOD
and HIS WORK! Hundreds of YOU have not been resisting a new
temptation that God has allowed in order to try you and to test
you.
O LISTEN, dear Co-Workers! Your own very eternal salvation
is also AT THE CROSS-ROADS---right now! This is the supreme crisis
in many of YOUR lives! God will never forsake YOU---but are YOU
now unthinkingly forsaking HIM? Listen! We are being hurled
straight into THE END OF THE WORLD! This is the world-crisis at
the CLOSE of this age! And, speaking of this very time, God says
thru the prophet Daniel: "Many shall be purified, and made white,
and tried" (Dan. 12:10). Jesus speaks (Rev. 3:10) of the hour of
TRIAL, which shall come upon all the world, to TRY them that dwell
upon the earth." We are at the beginning of that very trying and
testing period. And hundreds of you, already, are unthinkingly
yielding yourselves to a new TEMPTATION---the temptation to put a
GOOD THING---Television---to an injurious and wrong USE.
God Almighty has allowed Television to come. Like radio,
God foresaw, long before we did, that TELEVISION could become the
very power to FINISH His work thru His Servants. Just what is sin?
Sin is the TRANSGRESSION of God's laws. What is TRANSGRESSION?
It's a WRONG ACTION: A Television set is not sin. But yielding
yourself to put it to a wrong USE is sin.
