facilities, and certain building additions and even new buildings
are now imperative! THIS WORK CAN'T STOP! God's work started the
smallest of all, but like the grain of mustard seed, it must GROW
until it becomes the LARGEST.
I have to ask YOU, as a Co-Worker with Christ, to do TWO
THINGS, right now, and continuously thru the new year: 1) Try to
INCREASE your regular offerings and be FAITHFUL in sending in the
TITHES (first tenth of your income) for God's work; and 2) SPEND
MORE TIME PRAYING EARNESTLY FOR ME AND FOR THIS WHOLE GREAT WORK---
praying that God will lay it heavily upon every heart He has made
able, to respond more generously that there may be funds for God's
work. Let's get closer to GOD than we ever did before!
Remember, "where your treasure is, there will your heart be
also." Get it in GOD'S WORK! Remember, all the tithes and
offerings you put into God's work are DEDUCTIBLE ON YOUR INCOME
TAX, up to 30% of taxable income---BUT, until we get a decision now
pending from Washington, D.C., if you send in over 20%, get a
receipt for all over 20% and up to 30% from Ambassador College.
Remember, finally, THIS is the month when most people are
spending so lavishly on Christmas gifts which they EXCHANGE with
relatives and friends, that they forget altogether any gift for
CHRIST or His work! They think (falsely) that they are honoring
CHRIST'S birthday---yet they SNUB HIM, IGNORE HIM, and trade
presents back and forth among themselves!
GOD'S WORK NEEDS YOUR PRAYERS AND YOUR HELP, AS NEVER BEFORE!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart---I know YOU will remain
loyal to the Christ who DIED for you---and who today LIVES for you,
and has opened these tremendous doors for us!!! Let our hearts be
FILLED with GRATITUDE!!
With deep LOVE, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
