This morning a very serious and crucial conference was held here in my office. Attending were top executives of the contracting firm, the architects, our own Business Manager and our Director of Buildings and Grounds at Ambassador College. I had to make a MOMENTOUS decision. The decision I was force ...

I have a book in my hand, but I think it's going to be a book heard from quite a bit in God's church. I'm still going over it, reading it. Searching out some of the truths that have been brought to life. That Mr. Armstrong has mentioned, we are in a time of exceedingly great progression in kno ...

AS IN THE days of Israel, so in the Body of Christ today! The parallel is amazing in many instances.

Doomsdayers and false prophets have predicted the "end of the world" for centuries. But never was there an era like the 20th century. Could our generation indeed be witness to the close of an age? NEVER BEFORE have apocalyptic visions and scenarios of future calamities been more rife. Theologians an ...

For two days, in mid-Atlantic, she had weathered the worst storm of her career. And we had experienced the sight, the feel, and the sounds of an angry ocea ...

We are now in the second-almost the third-generation of the Worldwide Church of God. Many if not most Plain Truth readers today know little or nothing about its origin, history, source and nature of its government, and how it came to believe what it believes, or how those beliefs were put by the liv ...
