Brethren Letters

Dear Brethren, Many years ago, there was a comedian on television who often used the phrase… “The devil made me do it,” in his comedy routines. Of course, the way he presented his act, his audiences laughed every time, viewing his words as harmless fun. However, Satan the DEVIL is …

Dear Brethren, Tonight, I’ll begin by quoting from Mystery of the Ages, as written by Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong, with the chapter entitled, “Mystery of the Church.” Here are a few excerpts from page 227, under the subheading, “Once Again: Why the Church?” Never lose sight of the setting that …

Dear Brethren, For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. (Matthew 24:21) Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to …

Dear Brethren, The united Europe must and will come. YOU and I are involved — DEEPLY! God’s Church must first be made ready for Christ’s coming. I call on you in Jesus’ name to pray as never before that God’s Church will heed and draw closer to him. Have we …

Dear Brethren, As a teenager, my first significant job was as (what was called), a “food-runner” in a cafeteria. Back then, minimum wage was $1.60 per hour and haircuts only cost one dollar. It’s funny, though I don’t have much hair on my head today, at one time I did …

Dear Brethren, I just read an e-mail a short time ago from one of our members that mentioned they had a “stressful” week. I’m sure all of us can identify with that feeling from time to time. Sometimes, it may seem like Satan is almost working “overtime.” The fact is, …

Dear Brethren, We will be observing the Feast of Pentecost in two days as commanded by God. “These are the feasts of the LORD, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at their appointed times” (Leviticus 23:4). Pentecost pictures the beginning “FIRST-FRUITS” of God’s salvation. (Leviticus 23:15-17; Acts 2:1; James 1:18) …
