Because this great and important work of God, conducted through His called human servants, has had to survive a long and severe series of crises and tests of faith, a f ...

Frequently zealous co-workers will ask us to send the names and addresses from our mailing list of those in their vicinity. The letter will read something like this: "I'm so hungry for regular fellowship with others who listen to the program and who know and love the truth. I think it would be a w ...

LONDON: Mrs. Armstrong called my attention this morning to a most shocking item in The London TIMES. "Why!" she exclaimed, "are we living back in the dark ages, or is this the twentieth century?" The headline read: "LADY GARBETT LOSES FARM." And the subhead: "DISPOSSESSION ENFORCED." The dispat ...

Do you know what Jesus meant when He said: "The children of this world are, in their generation, wiser than the children of light?" That is, those whose minds are on material, worldly things only - unconverted minds - are wiser in worldly things than Christians, whose minds have been illuminated by ...

There are times, I have to confess, when I feel impotent, helpless, frustrated. I wonder if any of our readers could put themselves in my place, and realize what I see and know, and how I feel. I look back over the years, and recognize how God called me, nearly 40 years ago, out of a fascinating and ...

The other day I read a story in the newspaper that I hope will make you THINK! A woman in the state of Washington returned home from her work in a restaurant at 3 A.M. Sunday morning to find her four children, ages 12, 10, 8 and 7, dead in their beds of asphyxiation. One of them had turned on the ga ...

Have we been overlooking the very first lesson in true Christian living? THERE'S an enemy in your home, probably. You haven't seen this enemy. He's right in your family - he's made you all suffer - he's broken up many families, caused untold suffering, and a world of unhappiness. But you n ...

NOTICE: The PLAIN TRUTH continues in this number, of necessity, to be half size, 8 pages. Again only enough copies can be printed to send co-workers. For each one of you who receive this issue, some ten others who have requested it must be deprived of reading it because many co-workers have become l ...

IMPORTANT EXPLANATION, READ this at once! It's urgent! This issue of me PLAIN TRUTH is only 8 pages. We are sending it only to a few thousand co-workers. Many thousands on our mailing list, who have requested The PLAIN TRUTH, will not see it. I want to tell you why. First, I have been under such a ...

And there is new joy in the hearts ...

THE OTHER day a young man came out to the college to see me. He had written two or three times asking me to pray for healing of an affliction caused by an accident, and each time I had prayed for him and sent him an anointed cloth, according to the example set by the apostle Paul (Acts 19). "I came ...

You've heard the patriotic saying: "Breathes there a soul so dead, who never to himself hath said, 'This is my own, my native land.'" Do you know what Jesus meant when He said: "The children of this world are, in their generation, wiser than the children of light"? That is, those whose minds a ...

EVERY little while I am amazed at the misunderstanding of so many people, especially about becoming a Christian. I am thinking now of one who said recently: "I'll tell you why my husband and I have not been converted. As I understand it, we'd have to go forward in a meeting before a lot of peopl ...

I WONDER how many of my readers are like one who said to me recently: "Well, I'll tell you why I'm not a Christian. It isn't that I don't believe in God or in being converted - I believe it, all right - and I've often wanted to be a Christian - but sorriehow it just all seems so FAR O ...
