Repentance broadcast 29 June 1979 - played Wales UK 22 May 2004 |
| This World Tomorrow broadcast (along with many others) was found at www.getbackontrack.org. This particular broadcast begins: "Now, my friends, once again, why is it that we have not heard the gospel of Jesus Christ, but a gospel of men about this person? Now we've been going though the New Testament to see what gospel Jesus did preach, what He taught His disciples, and the customs that He practiced. We have just seen during the past week how Jesus was sending His students - His learners (because the word disciple means a student or a learner) - out on a practice preaching mission." (3.3 Mb) | ||

Philippians 1 & 2 given 30 Oct 1981 - played in Wales UK 15 May 2004 |
| This bible study was given when God was putting the Church back on track through Mr Armstrong. He asks the question, "In how many really is the Holy Spirit really working? How many of you are being led by the Holy Spirit? And sometimes I think it is not half, and sometimes I wonder if it is any!" How profound this statement is when viewed today - having witnessed the falling away that took place following his death! However, there is also encouragement - because he points out that he, as Paul, was "sure that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ." Certainly, this must also continue to be our view today. (10.5 Mb) | ||

Today we find the Church of God in a “wilderness of religious confusion!”
The confusion is not merely around the Church – within the religions of the world outside – but WITHIN the very heart of The True Church itself!
