WHY IS IT, that people will join the Communist Party, make
every sacrifice, submit to its merciless discipline and authority,
put their WHOLE HEARTS into that diabolical movement of Satan the
devil -- while those CHRIST has called as His Co-Workers slacken
off, let their heads be turned in LUST and GREED to material
interests and pleasures -- and the precious WORK OF GOD -- the
WORLD'S ONLY HOPE, goes begging?
God's Work needs a financial "SHOT-IN-THE-ARM!" I don't
believe in DRUG shots-in-the-arm -- but we do need a SPIRITUAL one!
REMEMBER, it is the sacrifice made by God's POOR -- the many
contributions of the small amounts of those who do not have more to
give -- PLUS the LARGE sums of the VERY FEW who have more, that
carries on this greatest Work on earth! We NEED the scattered few
BIG sums. We NEED the loans of money you are not free to GIVE
OUTRIGHT at this time, but could let be working where the living
CHRIST is working -- where HE directs!
This Work is bearing RICH and ABUNDANT RESULTS. It is
bringing THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of precious lives into God's
Kingdom for all eternity. It is preparing the WAY for His coming
to set up WORLD GOVERNMENT -- GOD'S OWN government to SAVE THE
WORLD. You are having a PART in that G L O R I O U S Work!
Dear Co-Workers, I don't dare slacken my efforts. Most men
RETIRE when 16 years younger than I. THIS WORK MUST GO ON! I have
to ask God, in faith, to give me personal STRENGTH -- to renew my
youth, as He promises (latter part of Isaiah 40), that I may have
the DRIVE and the energy to keep this great Work DRIVING ON, under
Christ!
Won't YOU tighten YOUR belt, too, and go right now to a
place of PRAYER, and pray for ME and for increased strength and
vigor -- and for the WORK -- and for God to help YOU to be able to
DO YOUR PART BETTER, as I try to do mine better?
God is BLESSING THIS WORK above everything on earth!
His WORK is waiting, now, ON YOU!
With love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
