At the end of the day, can you look back and say you were really profitable, or did you only do what was required of you? Just how much does God expect of Christians? Do you know what it means to be a worthy or profitable servant? Do you sometimes feel that, despite your efforts, you are not growi ...

What are the "souls under the altar" mentioned in Revelation 6:9? In Revelation 6:9-11 is a description of the fifth seal. When Jesus Christ, who is the Revelator (John is not the revelator), opened the seal, the apostle saw in heaven an altar under which were the souls of people who had b ...

God's commanded Feast of Pentecost has somehow become buried in modern Christianity. Why did Christ and. the apostles observe this important feast, called the "day of firstfruits"? What does it picture in the plan of God? Should Christians observe this feast today? If so, on what day sho ...

My friends get out your Bibles and have a shock because I think there is nothing more shocking than to learn that the Bible says exactly the opposite of what you've been taught to think it says. Why have you not heard the gospel of Jesus Christ? We've been hearing a gospel about Christ and about ...

Why do so few understand the real MEANING of water baptism? Why are so many unsure of their contact with God? You were born for a purpose. Do you know what that purpose is? When you have come to a real understanding of that purpose, life takes on a new dimension. Every day, every activity - even eve ...

It's happening now, all over this earth. Do you know what God is doing? What on earth is God doing? The many facets of God's Church, including the Good News magazine you are now reading, work together to proclaim to all the world the wonderful announcement of God's coming Kingdom (Matthew 24:1 ...

Recently several pastors asked whether they should have one large congregational group meal for the "Night to be Much Observed," or have the members continue to observe this occasion in smaller family groups. The following is a quote from a pastoral letter of April 8, 1970 giving Mr. Armstrong’s las ...

"Mr. Hamilton. you don't understand. We just want Billy excused for a little more than two weeks while we go to Biloxi, Miss." "I'm sorry, Mrs. Smith. We have a very strict attendance policy here, and I thought I made that very clear to you earlier. Besides, we're administering ...

Can a Christian DISOBEY God and still be saved? THIS IS a lawless age! Everywhere, it seems, the spirit of disobedience and rebellion is sweeping society. Even from the pulpits you hear preached that Jesus Christ abolished His Father's LAW - that it is not necessary to OBEY God any longer! ...

AN Understanding of the "Times of the Gentiles" is vital and fundamental. It is the frame-work of the whole structure of Bible prophecy. It is a KEY to unlock the doors to understanding. Here is a fascinating subject without which the prophecies concerning the present wars, and the coming world war ...

It's about time that we let Him answer this question for Himself. Men have been bandying it around and some of them say that He saw that His Father's laws were not good, and so Jesus knowing, apparently, more than His Father, nailed up His Father's Law to the cross. Let's see what Jesus said ...

Why has the Christian world overlooked the real meaning of the most significant Feast of Tabernacles in history? No more important Feast of Tabernacles is recorded anywhere in the Bible. The apostle John spent almost one fifth of his gospel account on it. So irate were the chief priests and P ...

The news here continues to move in a fast-paced manner, as the necessary meetings required to implement Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong's recent directives are being conducted.
