PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, March 13, 1981
Page 17
law:
(1) a new, healthy, firstborn baby boy--just in time for the
Feast; (2) we moved into our own house; (3) received an unexpected
gift of cash which amounted to over what we paid in third tithe; and
(4) was assigned new job responsibilities, with an accompanying 10%
(approx.) raise in salary.
The above outlines a few of the physical blessings we have been
privileged to receive. On the spiritual side·of the ledger, God's
Church has made a turnaround and is now back on the track!

INSPIRING LETTER QUOTATIONS
In addition to letter conunents we send to Ministerial Services to be
in
cluded in that section of the Pastor General's Report, we would like to
include in this update a few of the most inspiring short quotes about the
Work that people send in. Here now is a selection of some of the best
received:
God's Work and Church
I have the feeling our train is not only back on the tracks but is
picking up speed and momentum. Through your guidance and direction
you are helping us to get firmly seated in the train, rather than
hanging on to the caboose where a sudden jolt could send us hurling
off.
I have just this last year (1980) joined with God's Church. I feel
like I have come home. Every sermon is like a peaceful river that
flows through my mind teaching me and reminding me of God's ways.
The Plain Truth
I'm very-glad I met up with your publication by accident. Of course
you know coincidences are where God chooses to remain anonymous.
Reading The PLAIN TRUTH is like going to school. I'm old, and have
read the Bible all my life. But I've learned more about truth and
life than ever before.
Herbert W. Armstrong is one of the greatest
Bible teachers I've ever known.
End Time
What momentous days we are living in. The fuse is burned down pretty
close to the powder keg and it'll blow pretty soon now.
In the midst of this increasingly sickening world, with compounding
forces attempting to wipe out the very light that keeps it in ex
istence, it is so extremely important for us as members of Christ's
body to be fervent in prayer for the strengthening and guidance of
the Church. Never before, Mr. Armstrong, have you needed our prayerful
support in order to keep the blessed momentum of divine growth flour
ishing beyond the limits of our own human hopes.
