Dining Out on the Sabbath

What Does the Bible Teach?

By George C. Rogers

Does God forbid Christians to dine in restaurants on the Sabbath? Is this a worldly tradition carried over from Sunday worshippers? Is it “conducting business”? Does it cause others to profane the Sabbath by laboring on our behalf? Must Christians abstain from “indulging” in pleasure on God’s Sabbath? What does God’s Word teach? Here are the scriptural facts—the truth made plain!

Where Is God’s Church?

By David C. Pack

Did Christ build one, unified, organized Church? Or is His Church divided? He said, “I will build My Church”—not “churches,” “fellowships,” “sects,” “denominations” or “communities of believers.” He promised that the “gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Where is it and how is it identified? What and why is it? You need not be confused. Here are the plain answers!

Where Is the True Church?

and Its Incredible History!

By David C. Pack

Nearly 2,000 years ago, Jesus Christ built His Church—and promised that it could never be destroyed (Matt. 16:18)!

Although foretold to remain small and persecuted, and to appear in seven phases, this Church—with faithful leaders and members in every age—has endured and continued. And it has been recognizable to those knowing what earmarks and signs to look for.

Where has this Church been for nearly two millennia? Can it be found in history and traced to the present day? How is it identified?

As compelling and gripping as anything you will read, here is the astonishing, inspiring and fascinating true story of the Church of God!

There Came a Falling Away

By David C. Pack

Herbert W. Armstrong led the Worldwide Church of God for 52 years, teaching hundreds of true doctrines. He proved them from the Bible and told us to do the same. His successors changed them all. Do you think some changes were right? Do you realize ALL were wrong? Have you recognized them? Here they are!

I Will Send Elijah to Restore All Things

By David C. Pack

God foretold, “I will send you Elijah…before the…day of the Lord” (Mal. 4:5). Jesus said this man would “restore all things” (Matt. 17:11). What did He mean? Who is this person? Has he already come? Is he yet to appear? Was he Herbert W. Armstrong? Will he be one of the Two Witnesses—or someone else? How is he recognized? Can he be identified? If there is proof, what is it? How significant is this issue? What implications derive from it and is there danger in ignoring or minimizing its proper understanding? It is time to end the confusion and deception clouding this great prophecy. Here is the truth about the end-time Elijah!

The Work of God

Its Final Chapter!

By David C. Pack

Herbert W. Armstrong announced the kingdom of God to the world and proclaimed the special warning to the modern nations of Israel for 52 years! Did he teach that his death would end this commission, believing both duties to be his own “private work”? How did he instruct his successor? Does “the kingdom shall be preached in all the world” (Matt. 24:14) before the “end come” still apply? What of “go…and teach all nations…all things whatsoever I have commanded you” (Matt. 28:19-20)? What about “prophesy again” in Revelation 10:11? What is the gospel? Is Christ part of it? Did Mr. Armstrong teach—or does the Bible—that God’s people should give to relief organizations and disaster victims? What did Jesus say? Also, what about “local” or “personal evangelism”? Why has The Restored Church of God rewritten all the literature of the Worldwide Church of God? What was our strategic plan? What are our two operational plans? What does prophecy say about the final Work of God?

Here Is The Restored Church of God

Many ask: What is The Restored Church of God? We are a truly unique Church—one whose members are dedicated to letting their light shine in a world desperately needing light! This is the compelling story of a Church empowered by a deep conviction, derived from understanding that genuinely happy lives can be a reality now—and that a wonderful world is soon to come!

Except the Lord Build the House

Compiled by David C. Pack

Do you recall what Mr. Armstrong taught about government, voting, division, heresy, Laodicea, doing the Work, the synagogue of Satan, disfellowshipment, training to be rulers, and other vital topics? Here it is in his own words. Prepare to be surprised by how much you have forgotten!

“Anoint Your Eyes”

Christ’s Warning to His People

By David C. Pack

Christ warns Laodiceans to “anoint your eyes”—WHY? What did He mean? WHO did He mean—and how can you know? This all-important instruction, to all Christians living in the last days, must be understood. This extensive book—the most crucial written to the WCG splinters—thoroughly covers things never before explained, and in extraordinary detail. For those hoping to escape the Great Tribulation, it reveals exactly what Christ meant and how to apply this most critical warning!
