guided by Jesus Christ, our Head and chief Director. It is
EMPOWERED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD! But our living Saviour, Jesus
Christ, works through us, as HIS BODY. He has given us the great
and matchless PRIVILEGE of being Co-Workers with HIM--yes, Him, who
LIVES today, and actively guides and directs this dynamic, fast-
growing WORK OF GOD.
We do not all have the SAME part or function. Mrs.
Armstrong and I are grateful, and REJOICE, that God has made it
possible for us to put approximately 30% of our income, in money,
into His Work, beside our entire time night and day, and our very
lives. WHAT a blessing! HOW blest we are! God has made it
possible for YOU to help this Work GREATLY by constantly PRAYING,
EARNESTLY AND SINCERELY, FROM THE HEART, and BELIEVINGLY, for it.
Will you?
And God has made it possible for all of you to contribute
YOUR financial part, according as He has prospered you. Remember,
Jesus Christ said that the poor widow who gave into the Lord's
treasury her little two mites gave more than the rich man--for she
gave her all. But, if God has blest YOU with more, remember Christ
said those rich men had not given as liberally as this poor widow--
they did not give as much in proportion. God expects HIS CHILDREN
to GIVE according as they are able, generously, cheerfully, as a
PRIVILEGE! He does not ask our all--but generously according as we
are able. But He says, in His Word, He does expect the first tithe
(or tenth), plus what offerings we can afford, according to
ability.
THAT IS YOUR PART in this glorious WORK. Jesus Christ came
and started it. As God's Spirit started the WORK in and through
His physical body, so we, now, are His collective BODY, empowered
by THAT SAME DYNAMIC SPIRIT OF ALMIGHTY GOD! Remember we NEVER ask
the public for money, either over the air or in any of our
literature. It is all FREE. Thus those of us who are GOD'S
people--His begotten children--HIS Body--GIVE generously and
joyfully, in order that in this work WE MAY GIVE THE GOSPEL FREELY
OVER THE AIR AND IN ALL OUR PRINTED LITERATURE!
This constant GROWTH in the power of God's WORK--in the
number of precious lives brought to Christ--and right now several
baptizing teams are on tour over the United States, Canada,
Britain, and Australia, and, in coming weeks, Germany and France--
all this growth does cost money--and GOD'S WAY of supplying it is
through US who are CO-WORKERS WITH CHRIST!
THANK YOU, in Jesus' name, for your prompt and continuous
regular response! We are laying up treasure in heaven! And the
need, right now, is SPECIALLY URGENT!
With love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
