A Word to the Wise from
Herbert W. Armstrong
"The Work IS Finished".
Herbert W Armstrong
The above statement refers to Matthew 24:14 and ended the Philadelphia era as described in Revelation 2 and 3. His intention was not to state that there was and is no more work to do. On the contrary, Christ is still working with His Church in what is now the final few years, before His return, known as the Laodicean era.
We serve God's people in this capacity, helping God's flock to find their direction and inspiration in these final, challenging years, just prior to the establishment of God's Kingdom on Earth. Few understand that the Work is not FINISHED, but has merely CHANGED and Christ is the One leading the "church of the Laodiceans" today!
CONGRESS OF LEADING MINISTERS HEARS DEFINED AND REEMPHASIZED SPIRITUAL ORGANIZATION OF CHURCH Worldwide News March 6, 1981
Did the leaders of the Scattered Churches of God BELIEVE what Mr. Armstrong told them... Read his own words in a March 6, 1981 Worldwide News which all these men READ!
....... there is no one in the Church that has the qualifications, the experience that could carry on the work that God has given me to do. Who is there among you who can do it? If you will tell me I would like to know. It would be so nice if I could retire. Because it's a pretty heavy load I have to carry. But I'm not thinking of myself, I'm thinking of what I've been called to do. And it must be done. And God's will will be done.

Putting The Church Back On Track TRACK
by Herbert W. Armstrong
Well, greetings everybody: I have called a special day of prayer and fasting today because God's Church is in FATAL DANGER! We don' t realize, my brethren, the way we've been drifting.

"Satan Deceive And Use Me?
N E V E R !!"
by Herbert W. Armstrong
For the moment, I was much discouraged and grieved. If you had lost a half dozen, a dozen or more of your "loved ones" how would you feel? It seemed for the moment that we had lost from the Church more than half of the top-ranked evangelists. The result of Satan's intensified wrathful attack against Jesus Christ and the Church at this END time! I mourn more over such a loss than one by death. Don't you? Yet when I stopped to jot down the names of those evangelist-ranked, those still loyal and solid outnumber those gone two to one... Read more...
