that this PLEDGE is conditioned on your present income keeping up,
and your financial ability. IF your income is reduced or cut off--
or same unexpected circumstance makes it honestly impossible to
continue this amount, or makes it necessary to reduce it, of course
you are at liberty to do so. THIS DOES NOT BIND YOU TO ANYTHING
THAT MIGHT BECOME IMPOSSIBLE. Those, who have continued with the
former pledge, please replace it with this new one.
This pledge is NOT a vow--but a conditioned statement of your
intention, binding you only as long as your ability makes possible,
up to two years.
Brethren, I will admit I am a little discouraged, and
disappointed. I NEED YOUR COLLECTIVE ENCOURAGEMENT of such a
shower of pledges that will reach this $35,000 per month goal. I
try, month after month, year after year, to keep encouraging you
brethren. Now WILL YOU GIVE ME A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT, and prove
to all of us that we are NOT the luke-warm Laodicean church which
Christ says He is going to spew out of His mouth--but the
consecrated, dedicated, enlivened, spiritually dynamic, vigorous
PHILADELPHIA church that is fulfilling Matthew 24:14!
Let us AROUSE ourselves, and put the work of God FIRST! Seek
ye FIRST the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and material
blessings shall be added. I THANK YOU for it in advance. God
bless you!
With love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
