God's sacred calendar is the true calendar for all mankind. Its principles go back to the very first chapter of the Bible, where the sun and the moon were appointed to be for signs, seasons, days and years (Gen. 1:14). This is the calendar God gave to Israel when He led them out of the pagan pract ...

Now, to see just what He did preach, the example that He did set, what the early Church under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and the leadership of the Apostles did believe and what they did preach and the customs they did follow, we are once again going through the first four books of the New Te ...

Do we really understand why we keep them? And do we understand this particular festival of the Feast of Unleavened Bread thoroughly? You know, we have an entirely different situation today than they did in the days of Jesus and the first original, first century, apostles. I think that we have heard ...

Many have never understood how God came to predestinate and call YOU, me and other members to various functions, offices and administrations in HIS CHURCH in our time. This will be an eye-opener to some who have not fully understood before. THERE CAME A TIME when the living God needed to raise up a ...

Did the Protestant reformers get back to the "faith once delivered"? Were they led by God's Holy Spirit? The naked FACTS in this series of articles are a revelation of long-hidden truth! The startling fact that rank paganism came in and took over the early professing Christian church is ...

In these days of doubt and challenge to traditional beliefs, it's hard to know what to accept. Was Jesus Christ a myth as some say? Or did He truly exist? Can He be found in history? Is there any way to know? Many evidences based on recorded historical fact show that Jesus of Nazareth did live, th ...

Mr. Armstrong's first time on the air and other experiences in the starting of this present world-wide work are recounted in this 29th installment. Actually, this great end-time world-wide work of God had started in that little one-room country schoolhouse, eight miles west of Eugene, Oregon. An A ...

How would you react if God suddenly spoke to you and warned you to take drastic action to save your life from imminent destruction? Would you listen attentively? Would you heed what He had to say? Or would you just scoff and disregard His warning? Few realize that God has already spoken to us today: ...

What do you think was the sin most frequently condemned by Christ? I'll repeat that, what sin do you think was most frequently condemned by Christ? I was thinking of that last evening and for the last few days I've had a particular subject in mind and I began to think, well now what did He conde ...

Remember back to your high school days when there was a particular group you wanted to break into. Maybe it was the athletic clique, or perhaps the scholar's corner, or the popular cheerleader's circle. How painful it was when you were rejected because you didn't quite meet their standards. Wh ...

The progression of prophetic events in Revelation is temporarily interrupted after the sixth angel blows his trumpet (the second "woe") (Rev. 9:13-21). Revelation now gives us two inset chapters. They bring the reader up to date on a very important happening during the last days. That landmark ...

Greetings everyone! I know a lot of people have been drawn many different directions the last few days, but many are very loyal and encouraging. I hope all of you are trying to be loyal and encouraging through the trials we're going through. And we certainly all need each other's prayers. Bre ...

Short hair was the dominant, accepted mode for men in the time of Christ. Pick up any good, illustrated history book on the period and you will see the evidence before your eyes. Two good books in this area are A History of the Holy Land, Michael AviYonah, editor, and Daniel to Pad, Gaalyahu Cornfel ...

The 1980 presidential election campaign is in full swing—and red-hot! On August 27 the candidates were DEBATING on HOW to debate! They accuse each other, promise what they think will win votes. But inflation and unemployment continue. World troubles escalate. Even the Soviet Union has serious troubl ...

Having opened a little-used desk drawer, I came across an accumulation of sermon and sermonette notes from services I had attended years ago. As I nipped through the yellowing pages, my eyes fell on certain powerful and unforgettable messages. Memories flooded my mind while words came to life once a ...
