MOVING FORWARD RAPIDLY!
February 7, 2008
As most of you are probably aware, the pace of end-time activities has picked up enormously
and we are over loaded with work (and that is good). It has become quite a task just trying
to keep up with the pace of activities, but we have a great pool of resources in the Church
that God has been preparing for this end-time work.
We are now feverishly trying to simply plan for the burst of activity that is coming our way
over the next couple of months. We are there! As it was mentioned in this past Sabbath’s
sermon, the final countdown has begun, as the 1335 days before the actual day Jesus Christ
returns began on February 2, 2008.
We are in the process of ordaining more elders who can help more directly with the increased
load of work that has been placed upon the Church. Just over the last couple of months, the
numbers of those God has brought to the Church has more than doubled our size. All indications
are that over the next few weeks it will double again. Yet this is not about numbers, but it
is about what God is doing at this end-time, and in a few months such numbers will be minor
in comparison to those who God begins to call on a far greater scale worldwide.
More of the organizational oversight of the Church has been helped mightily by the ordination
of two evangelists in God’s work. There have not been any true evangelists added to the Church
since the days of Herbert W. Armstrong. Wayne Matthews is the presiding evangelist for Australia
and New Zealand. Johnny Harrell is the presiding evangelist over the United States and Canada.
All that we are experiencing right now is a very small taste, just an ice cube on the tip of
an iceberg of what is coming, as God begins to call thousands upon tens of thousands of people
over the next year. From there it goes into the millions--all in preparation for the return of
Jesus Christ and the establishment of God’s Government over all the earth in the fall of 2011.
God is blessing us mightily through the tool of modern technology, especially in the use of
the Internet and search engines that people are using in their effort to find answers to the
growing concern of so many, that things are not right on this earth and that we are nearing
some kind of end-time scenario.
We are going to begin posting other central locations (in the “Upcoming Trips” section) where
people can be invited to attend Sabbath services with others who are of the same mind and
commitment. This will give opportunity for more people to be able to receive baptism, and to
also meet others in God’s Church who are in their region with whom they can begin to communicate.
These will not be locations where I will be visiting, but where other ministers will be sent in
order to help those new people whom God is calling.
Concerning the postings on this site, many will be deleted as they have served their purpose,
but others will remain that contain some helpful information for those that are new.
