Fearfully and Wonderfully Made. PEOPLE SPEAK OF "THE DIGNITY OF man." But how little do they know, usually, whereof they speak! As humanity generally conducts itself, little of that dignity is apparent. Yet the true potential of man is utterly and incredibly beyond his ken. DIGNITY of Man? ...

The God-Ordained Uses of Sex. WHAT IS THE REAL GOD-ordained use of sex in marriage? WHY have the millions of unhappily married never known either this WHAT, or the HOW? WHY is adultery, and other immorality, a SIN? Is it merely because a harsh God gave a command, or was the COMMAND given because its ...

Dating - and Teenage Morality. DATING PROCEDURES HAVE undergone radical changes in the past seventy-five years. But has it been beneficial progress - or has dating become a lost art? What about "going steady"? What about "necking," "petting," premarital sexual experienc ...

The Best Age for Marriage. IGNORANCE ABOUT SEX IS NOT, OF course, the only cause of unhappy marriage and divorce. Many causes contribute. Religious difference is one. The Roman Catholic Church is very emphatic in restraining its members from marrying non-Catholics. Neither should a truly converted C ...

Planned Parenthood, Contraceptives and Sexual Dysfunctions. IS PLANNED PARENTHOOD WRONG? Is the use of contraceptives contrary to God's biblical teachings? The Roman Catholic Church has always responded, "YES!" But if the BIBLE - the HOLY WORD OF GOD - the Maker's INSTRUCTION BOOK to m ...

Engagement - and Wedding Night. ONCE A COUPLE IS ENGAGED TO BE married - then what? What should be their standard of conduct? Virtually everybody, today, would assume that "necking" is completely within the bounds of propriety after a definite engagement. But is it? Let's look rationally ...

Personal from Herbert W Armstrong - As Ambassador College, Pasadena, opened its doors for the 29th consecutive year, I was moved once again to recall the amazing growth of this Work. Few realize the magnitude to which this worldwide Work of God has grown. It is now a major-scale educational program ...

Now comes the big truth! Sex was designed and created in humans not only for reproduction, but also for purposes totally foreign to animal or plant life! But the world has continued in unhappy and wretched IGNORANCE of these glorious and-God-bestowed purposes! Why? THIS brings us again to that strik ...

In previous installments we have covered the FACTS - as they were from pagan times, as they continued through medieval Christian repression, as they are today under the "new morality." HISTOR Y has been written - in unhappy, frustrated marriages – in licentious immorality today. But the "new morali ...

This is the first of a series of articles taken from the editor-in-chief's book by the same name. The book, originally on "The New Morality," was first published in 1964, with a first press run of 250,000 copies. Seven subsequent printings added 208,500 more copies. The current edition w ...

Just think before we had an opportunity to find out why we're here, we learned how to annihilate ourselves from the face of the earth. Now, that's the ultimate irony, isn't it? Mankind has arrived at the place of the acquisition of scientific and technological knowledge, a kind of knowledge ho ...

How can we say we're really educated if we do not know what, why, and who we are? If we don't know why we're on the earth, if we don't know what is our individual purpose, if we don't know what human life is all about? Ironically, as I was saying, last time we have now come to the educated ...

Personal from Herbert W Armstrong - FEW REALIZE the magnitude to which this worldwide Work of God has grown. It is a major - scale educational program worldwide. Actually, the Work started first - in 1934 with one man and a helper, his wife. The college, with an undergraduate curriculum and students ...

Before I start the Bible Study or first maybe I should mention that since I started late I may have to go a little bit late and according to one of the Deacons here at least, he told me I can go at least until 10 o'clock, I don't want to go that far, but I told him that I have 2 Bible Studies, o ...

The power of our collective faith in what God is doing in His Work is a vital force that will move more than mountains. God's Church must unite in believing faith to finish the gun lap of His Work! JUST how important is the dimension of FAITH in the completing of God's end-time Work on this eart ...
