Spiritual Poverty - Garner Ted Armstrong - May 1975

Garner Ted Armstrong

The account is empty. The hollow prayer is a rubber check. Gestures at religion are counterfeit currency. Red ink is everywhere; the checkbook is fake. The church is in the hands of the receivers. The professional auctioneers might try to salvage the candelabra, the holy water, or the choir robes. Religion is bankrupt. The United States of America is spiritually sick. You don't believe it? Then take a look at the shocking downward plunge of strong morality, the alarming rise in crime, the destruction of home and family, the shifting trends of youth's values, the almost unbelievable defeat in the global geopolitical arena, the lack of true patriotism, the emptiness of hollow religious ceremony. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
