Dear Co-Worker with Christ:
Do YOU realize just how great this Work of God is becoming?
Do you realize there is NO ACTIVITY ON EARTH LIKE IT? Do you
realize WHAT is making it great--just WHAT MAKES IT TICK?
I have said the living Christ has DRAFTED YOU--and me--into
HIS service, as HIS Co-Workers. But He certainly did not compel or
FORCE you to become His Co-Worker--He has merely granted you and me
the matchless PRIVILEGE of helping in HIS Work. You voluntarily
accepted His draft. It was not like the ARMY draft.
A New York radio station representative flew out to Pasadena,
to see me in my office. He said: "Mr. Armstrong, as you know, we
sell radio time to just about all of the people who conduct world-
wide religious broadcasts. And I find The WORLD TOMORROW 'image'
is CHANGING. They used to be downright HOSTILE to The WORLD
TOMORROW. But now I find their attitude is changing to a sort of
reluctant admiration. 'WHAT MAKES IT TICK?' they ask. They can't
understand
WHY it is so successful--WHY it keeps GROWING so rapidly and
steadily, year after year."
"It's NO SECRET," I told him. "If they want to know what
makes it tick--what makes it grow--what is changing and converting
so many lives--I'll be GLAD to explain JUST HOW IT'S DONE."
You know, it seems like an incredible paradox! Of course I
get persecuted. If I didn't, I'd be real frightened--because Jesus
said that HIS true ministers would suffer persecution. They
persecuted HIM. And He said they would also persecute those HE is
using. They called HIM a "False Prophet."
Those who persecute and falsely accuse us just can't
understand WHY this great Work of God prospers and grows. We teach
and DO the things THEY think NOBODY would support--the very things
THEY think would PREVENT growth and success.
Why, THEY would NEVER teach as we do, or DO as we do--BECAUSE
they think nobody would follow them if they did.
But YOU, as a Co-Worker with Jesus Christ in HIS Work, are
certainly entitled to know exactly WHAT makes this Great Work
