Brethren & Co-Workers Letter - January 01, 1970 - Herbert W Armstrong - January 01, 1970

Herbert W Armstrong

I had hoped it would not be necessary to send you a mid-December letter this year. But it has become URGENTLY necessary! As I wrote you two weeks ago, the MOST IMPORTANT WORK ON EARTH is in its most difficult month — financially — of the year. Christmas shopping apparently is proving to be, as advance head- lines said, "BIGGEST EVER!" But the income for this great Work is far from "biggest ever." It is proving just the opposite. It seems many of our Co-Workers are forgetting gifts for CHRIST — for the very Work the living Christ HEADS, directs, and blesses — and are spending lavishly exchanging gifts with friends and relatives. I mentioned, before, the "wise men" gave their gifts to CHRIST — they did not give them to one another among themselves. Shouldn't the BIG gift be given to Christ for HIS WORK? Especially when so many others overlook HIS gift altogether? - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
