would like to help the Church of God because I feel I have found
the right church.
When I feel that secure with a church, it is
time to donate (God's) tenth of money.

I watch your broadcast on Sunday mornings and like the way you
present your topic of discussion. It is a joy to listen to you
discuss the Bible. I'm about fed up with others on television
who ask for money because they spend 90% of their time appealing
for contributions instead of discussing God's Word and His works.
L.P. (Nashua, NH)
Would you please send me the booklet you discussed on television
(THE BOOK OF REVELATION UNVEILED AT LAST)? I really enjoy your
programs. Your explanations are so simple that my daughter (age
10) can understand them.
L.C. (Sedalia, MO)
I'd really 1ike to receive your book, THE UNITED STATES AND
BRITAIN IN PROPHECY. I was watching your program and was very
hap9y to see someone finally tell the real truth about the Bible
and not lies and deceit. I very much respect you for telling me
what I want to hear--the truth. You have just gained another
fan.

most serious crisis ever in the history of the NATO alliance, formed in 1949
to thwart further Soviet inroads in Europe.
The most alarming aspect of this trend is the growing chorus of influential
voices in the United States openly questioning whether the U.S. and Western
Europe have any kind of a future together at all.
Poland Highlights Split
When the Polish government of General Wojciech Jaruzelski cracked down on
its internal critics on December 13, 1981, the stage was set for this latest
and most serious squabble within NATO.
On both sides of the line stood NATO's most important members, the United
States and West Germany. The crisis showed how differently the two nations
perceived what the proper response to Moscow and Warsaw should be.
President Ronald Reagan has made a big point of increasing U.S. defense
spending to redress the NATO/Warsaw Pact military imbalance, which had
turned heavily in Moscow's favor during the years of the Carter presidency.
When the Polish military put a screeching halt to that nation's liberaliza­
tion movement, President Reagan simply had to "do something" lest his
