THE ruler of Egypt would have been much more troubled if he could have known about the woes to come shortly. God instructed His people through Moses to ask their Egyptian neighbors to pay for the many services the friendly Israelites had provided them over the years. Most Egyptians were generous in ...

GREETINGS! in Jesus' name: It is now less than a month before the FEAST OF TABERNACLES! There isn't much time left, and I don't seem to be able to get time to write the full and complete GOOD-NEWS LETTER I wanted to send you, so will rush out this brief letter without further delay. We have ha ...

Question: What does "sanctification" mean? Answer: The common teaching today is that a person who is "sanctified" is spiritually perfect - that he is incapable of sinning! "Sanctification" is glibly called an "experience" or a "second work of grace," and it always must follow what is called the "jus ...

By popular demand we are reprinting this article from the October 1953 issue. Often we receive letters asking, "I want that baptism with the Holy Spirit and FIRE." Or: "I have the baptism with the SPIRIT - now I want that FIRE!" Do such persons know what they are asking? A Common ...

In many ways I think the material we are discussing, these few days are, that is the most interesting period of time in Church history perhaps for us to study, fascinating period of time between about 1100 and 1300 that we've been talking about, from the beginning of the Ministry of Peter de Bruys ...

It's a thrill to see a sea of faces as vast as this one is, I've been in Tucson for a couple of days at the beginning of the Feast of Tabernacles this year and the Brethren there sit in a kind of a vast auditorium like a gymnasium in a sense and you don't have the same feeling of size that you ...

Again I must write you an EMERGENCY Letter. For ten days this work has faced the most desperate crisis of the nearly thirteen years since it was started. For a few nights, now, the program has been off the air on our two most powerful stations — XEG and XELO. Letters by the hundreds — even telegrams ...

GOD BLESS YOU! These have been strenuous days. Our task is not easy. We have been, and still are, ...

Here is a timely warning from one of our ministers in Australia. SOME few of you brethren feel you are not a vital part of this Great Work because you are not a minister or used directly in some way in God's Church. You let feelings of discouragement and despondency come over you without any appar ...

In just two weeks and three days will come the Passover once again. What, after all, is the real meaning of the Passover? We take it every year. I forgot to count the number of years that this will be for me. I think it's about fifty-six at least, maybe fifty-seven. I'll have to count it again. ...

The Israelites continued to camp on the plains east of the Jordan river for many days. Water was plentiful. There was an abundance of grass for the animals. Living was also a little more pleasant for the people because of the shade trees in that area. Meanwhile, the people didn't sit around doing ...

Evangelist Gerald Waterhouse has just returned to Pasadena from his most recent visit to many of the churches in Australia, and I thank God for his report of your continued faithfulness and loyalty to our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ, and of your continuing steadfast in spiritual growth.

Don't sell yourself short! The possibilities that lie ahead for you are transcendently greater than you have ever come to know! When I was an adolescent of 16, as I have said and written many times, AMBITION was aroused in me. It was on my first summer vacation job away from home. I had never thou ...
