And so, Co-Workers with Christ, let US take encouragement
in the fact that God has used us of today in MULTIPLYING the
harvest of His Work TEN TIMES IN TEN YEARS!
So I say to you, as the Apostle Paul said (I Corinthians 3:
9-11): "FOR WE ARE FELLOW WORKMEN FOR GOD; YOU are God's field --
God's building. According to the Commission of God given to me, I
laid the foundation. Others of you are building upon it, with me.
Let each one take care how he builds upon it. For NO OTHER
FOUNDATION can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is JESUS
CHRIST. ... Do you not know that YOU are God's temple, and that
God's Spirit dwells in you?" (Verse 16.)
Yes, Co-Workers, THINK OF IT! What a GROWTH in power and
scope God has granted us! WHAT A HARVEST of precious lives has
been reaped for God's Kingdom! HOW ABUNDANTLY the living God has
blessed His great Work which is directed by the living CHRIST as
its Head, with fantastic results!
WHAT A BLESSING is yours and mine, to be privileged to have
an active PART in this tremendous accomplishment, whose benefits
will LAST FOREVER! Thousands upon thousands of lives have been
changed -- turned right-side-up -- enriched -- led to Christ and
God's Kingdom and the gift of ETERNAL LIFE -- as a result of YOUR
help, whether large or small, according as you are able. We should
THANK GOD for the glorious privilege! I DO!
BUT -- I have to tell you we DO FACE SERIOUS PROBLEMS!
Many DID forsake or neglect CHRIST during this past month,
exchanging gifts back and forth with friends and relatives,
supposing it was for Christ's birthday! But they didn't give their
gifts to CHRIST -- but to one another. If YOU, individually
didn't, I DON'T MEAN YOU. But so many did that we came up short.
So HERE ARE THE FACTS! Right on the heels of this superb
ten year growth, I have had to CANCEL several radio stations! I
have had to cancel MOST of the Reader's Digest two-page ads around
the world! I have had to cancel MILLIONS of copies of circulation
reaching people in India, the Philippines, Australia, South Africa,
Germany, Holland, Mexico, and other countries! THAT MEANS THAT
SEVERAL MILLION PEOPLE WILL NOT BE HEARING GOD'S MESSAGE -- until
our Co-Workers make it possible.
Co-Workers, THIS IS A GREAT TRAGEDY!
I have had to make DEEP CUTS in the 1970 budget for this
Work!
Where is our HUMANITY? True Christians surely remember
Jesus Christ crying over Jerusalem -- weeping over the tragedies in
HUMAN LIVES, and the wretchedness they were bringing on themselves
-- not knowing THE WAY out of all their troubles BECAUSE THOSE
POSING AS RELIGIOUS LEADERS HELD BACK GOD'S TRUTH, AND PERSECUTED
JESUS! Are some of us, who have accepted His draft to become HIS
Co-Worker doing the same today?
I have shown you how UNBELIEVABLY FAR even the widow's
