PASTOR'S REPORT, June 25, 1979
Page -4
If a minister does not obey God's LAW he simply CANNOT HAVE GOD'S
HOLY SPIRIT! The Bible speaks of the Holy Spirit which God gives to them
that OBEY HIM.
How, then, can a minister who violates GOD'S LAW AGAINST STEALING,
preach God's TRUTH--lay hands on, anoint and pray for the sick? Is not
the reason that some few ministers were so vehemently opposed to God's
promise of healing, were those who were not obeying God in the matter
of finances?
HOW can such a man be minister to, and pastor of, a congregation of
TITHE-PAYERS?
If you are on the payroll, unless tithing begins with the very next
paycheck, YOUR PAYCHECKS WILL BE CUT OFF WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE.
Don't say you can't afford to tithe. You ca�'t afford not to. If
you owe other debts, PAY GOD'S TITHE FIRST, AND PR�Y FOR HIS PROMISED
BLESSING TO HELP YOU ON THE OTHER DEBTS. THERE CAN BE NO EXCUSES for not
tithing. Failure to tithe is STEALING--COMMANDMENT BREAKING. It is with
out excuse! Keep current with God and HE will keep you current with your
other obligations!
This matter of STEALING FROM GOD is one matter that Christ is CLEANING
UP IN GOD'S CHURCH NOW! No delay! And no excuses!!!

FURTHER RE: STANLEY RADER
It has been brought to my attention that some ministers hostile to
�r. Rader and influenced by Garner Ted Armstrong, may say: "Mr. Rader gave
Mr. Armstrong orders to write that."
Mr. Rader knew nothing about what I have written about him in th�A
/Iast7 issue of the Pastor's Report until he read it in proof copy ready
to
be
mailed. Tears came to his eyes.
Let me say flatly and on the AUTHORITY of Jesus Christ, I will NOT
T'.)LERATE any more character assassination in God's Church. Of course, if
you leave God's Church I have no authority over you.
But if I hear of any hostile character-assassination remarks against
�r. Rader by any minister, I will require that minister to come to Tucson
and present to me in person his EVIDENCE against Mr. Rader. And if he HAS
NO EVIDENCE (and I feel sure none has) he will learn that I am truly the
PASTOR-GENERAL with full power to terminate such character assassinator on
the spot. I am simply indignant at all this UNCHRISTIAN hostility against
a man WITHOUT CAUSE in God's Church. The living Jesus Christ is CLEANING
UP God'� Church. That job is not yet completed� but it's definitely ON
THE WAY!
