PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, FEBRUARY 10, 1984
PAGE 5
thinking of the youth in God's Church is becoming more and more
apparent.
The much-too-familiar attitudes of skepticism and
cynicism of the teen-agers have been completely turned around,
and now the predominant attitudes are those of cooperation,
willing compliance, and trust of those in authority.
LAFAYETTE, IN--DAN FRICKE: . Mr. Armstrong's sermons always have a
positive impact on the brethren, focusing on the basics and re
minding us of our high calling. The recent severe weather we had
brought out the ongoing care the brethren have for one another.
In several cases, members went out of their way to help or check
on the needs of others. Just another proof that God's Spirit has
produced that brotherly love characteristic of the Philadelphian
era.
CINCINNATI (NORTH), OH--BOB LEAGUE:
Brethren were thankful to
receive the new truth from Mr. Armstrong's sermon on the value of
human life. As Mr. Armstrong grows in grace and knowledge, so do
we.
GRAND ISLAND, NE--DON HOOSER:
We
really
appreciated Mr. Arm
strong's two tapes.
It is certainly inspiring to realize how
much new knowledge God has blessed us with through Mr. Armstrong.
He certainly has the gifts of the "word of knowledge" and the
"word of wisdom" in communicating to God's Church and to the
world so much knowledge and wisdom, and so clearly.
TULSA, OK--DONALD MASON:
Mr. Armstrong Is tapes are very much
appreciated here in Tulsa.
This has been the busiest month of
the year for PM activity. The TV program seems to be having a big
impact here. Many new people comment on how Mr. Armstrong makes
sense and backs up what he says with proof.
