Text Box: Continued from “Primary Message” To support his message, Mr. Armstrong even had two huge charts drawn up, and they too are published in this special edition of the WN. These charts themselves made it abundantly clear, that if Mr. Armstrong were missing from the chart, there would be no link between the gospel and the church. That link was only drawn to Mr. Armstrong, proving visually that publishing the gospel was his job, as supported by the church. So what about the job of the Church then if Mr. Armstrong was no longer alive? This one special edition of the Worldwide News makes it Clear that the primary commission of the Church is for the individual to be actively building perfect righteous character, so as to be better prepared to enter the family of God. Now this leads us to a very important detail about the gospel itself. Why did it need to be published anyway? Again, Mr. Armstrong gives us the simple answer in another special edition of the Worldwide News, that of June 24, 1985, just seven months before his death. He states clearly that the whole purpose of publishing the gospel was to call a chosen few people from ways of the world, and start them on the road to the ways of God. Okay, so through the many years of Herbert Armstrong’s life, many thousands of people were called out of the world and into God’s ways. Where are all those people today? Some have died, but what about the countless number that are out there alone today? Were they just a lot of “tares” as some would have us believe, or is it just possible that most of them were on the road to conversion, but then fell away or were put out of the Church by the actions or inactions of a derelict Ministry? If one considers the abundant resources that God had committed to calling all these individuals, we cannot possibly believe that God now has no interest in their welfare! So here is a question I pose to those who are out there trying to call more individuals though their own little tiny work of preaching the gospel; What shepherd beats and scatters the sheep he had been given charge of, and then goes right out and gathers a brand new flock? Will the Master be upset when He comes to the field to seek the sheep He knew by name, only to find that they had been scattered and sickened by a derelict group of shepherds? This website is dedicated to those very sheep that the Master knows by name, those who most likely are not necessarily counted among the corporate groups of today. Are you one of them? Does the Master know your name? If you think He knows your name, then rest assured that this author wants to do all he can to honor that connection by providing the reader with unique insights to the past and clarity of purpose for a bright future ahead.
