Personal from Herbert W Armstrong - THE OTHER DAY my personal assistant and Managing Editor of The PLAIN TRUTH, Arthur A. Ferdig, handed me a copy of a book that had exerted influence on my life as a young man many years ago - probably about 1910. It was one of those "inspiration books" design ...

Well thank you everybody, and let me say, not only greetings to you here in this beautiful auditorium, but also to the several hundred over in Perth who are listening in to this just now and are with us. And let us understand that we are having fellowship right now, not only among ourselves, not onl ...

...life, the ministry, and the experience of Jesus Christ, the example that He set, and finding out why it is, that He taught exactly contrary to what the churches teach today. They call themselves Christian. They say they're preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. But they do preach a gospel about ...

In almost every mind there is fear and worry, and we're having our struggles and our problems and our troubles. Almost every life is empty and we try to invent every idea of a pastime or a pleasure just to crowd out our own emptiness and feeling of unhappiness and all that sort of thing, and pass ...

...to a lot of people, because they're not, as a rule, the largest, most powerful, and most dignified sects and denominations. Very often, my friends, these things are done in a wrong manner that only heaps ridicule upon them. But, actually, you know, when we look back into the life and the experi ...

My friends, why does nearly everybody believe exactly the opposite of what the Bible says? That is, why do they think it says exactly the opposite of what it does say? Why is it, as Bruce Barton said, "The Book that nobody knows?" Nobody understands. Why has it been turned upside down? Why ...

Personal from Herbert W Armstrong - YESTERDAY, driving a visiting minister from Pasadena around London, we drove over to the Parliament Buildings and stopped at the entrance to the House of Commons visitors' gallery. Britain's Prime Minister, Me. Macmillan, was scheduled to deliver a history-mak ...

Personal from Herbert W Armstrong - IF you have really been put into GOD'S Church by God - if you have really been CONVERTED - which means CHANGED - by receiving His Holy Spirit, then you no longer see things as you did before. If this CHANGE has really happened to you, you now see this world for ...

Personal from Herbert W Armstrong - THIS is written in Copenhagen, Denmark. On the ferry, enroute here from Hamburg, Germany, my attention was arrested by two bewhiskered intellectuals about thirty-five years of age. I do not know what nationality they were. Perhaps French. One of them was reading a ...

WITH this number, The Plain Truth is again increased in size, with eight more pages than formerly. With this inauguration of a full 40-page magazine, I want to reinstate the Heart-to-Heart talks - if I can keep up with it. With the Start of this enlarged Plain Truth I want to take you behind the sce ...

THERE is a commonly-assumed idea in the world that it doesn't make any difference what one believes, if he is sincere. One man's beliefs are often considered to be as good as another's. The idea seems to be that it doesn't make so much difference what one believes, if he is sincere. For exam ...

A CERTAIN Church found itself suddenly in need of a new pastor, due to the accidental death of the man who had filled the pastorate for many years. The board of trustees met to consider two written applications just received. I wonder, if you were a member of this board, which of these applications ...

LETTERS continue to ask, "Were you ever a 'Jehovah Witness'? Members of that sect have told me you were." Although I have stated positively and definitely on the radio program a number of times and in articles in The PLAIN TRUTH that I never belonged to the sect known as "Jehovah Witnesses," or ...

A BEGGAR is always a man of this world. Never is a beggar a man who walks with God and TRUSTS God to perform that which He has promised in His Word! David, under inspiration from God. wrote: "I have been young and now am old; yet have I never seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread." ...

Have you not been really severely tried, and tested in the matter of faithful tithe paying? Surely this becomes a REAL TEST for many. There is constant temptation, when hard pressed financially, to think we cannot spare the tithe just now, and to decide to turn it in LATER! Often the very reason som ...
