Rod Meredith Really Does Love the World In Spite of His Continual Bluster On How His God Is Spanking It




One of the first things Joe Tkach Sr. did when he was appointed by Herbert Armstrong was to reach out compassionately towards those outside the Church of God.  For decades, HWA, Meredith, Waterhouse and others screamed and snarled at the evil world around us and how it was not our position to do anything for them. God was going to fix it all in the end so why waste tithe money on them when it could go towards remodeling evangelists homes or buying gold and silver for HWA!

Meredith has obviously been influenced by younger ministers/members who are tainted by the evil world around them.  Someone saw a need and got Meredith to change his mind.  While he is not necessarily giving money,, LCG members are now starting to volunteer in community groups to help those less fortunate.  What is the Church of God coming to when it helps Habitat for Humanity?  Who would have imagined 20 years ago that COG members would be volunteering for a Jimmy Carter upstart!

James Malm and Bob Thiel will be having fits now.  When will they start helping in their community?  When will Thiel start volunteering with the homeless in Arroyo Grande where there are 11 different shelters needed to take care of all the people? 




Outreach—Exciting Upcoming Projects 
Dr. Meredith has encouraged us that, while powerfully preaching the Gospel to the whole world remains the priority of God’s Church (Mark 1:14, Matthew 24:14, etc.), we must remember that Jesus Christ Himself also said that His faithful servants would “feed the hungry, help the stranger, clothe the naked, visit those in prison,” etc. and that when we serve those in need, we actually serve Him (Matthew 25:31-46).  Following these biblical admonitions, as we have the time and resources, Living Church of God Outreach is active in “[doing] good to all” (Galatians 6:10) by engaging in community service work that especially helps those less fortunate, such as the widows and fatherless in their time of need (James 1:27) and also in assisting in local congregation service as desired by the local ministry.  Our Church member volunteers have been a wonderful light in both the local community as well as with organizations that have national and international reachThese organizations include groups such as Habitat for Humanity, local hospitals and retirement homes, Goodwill, and others.  Coming soon, we have another Habitat for Humanity critical home repair project planned and will also be working with Ronald McDonald House to prepare and serve a large dinner for parents and families of children who are hospitalized with serious medical conditions.  To learn more, or for ideas about how you can get involved in local Outreach activities in your area, visit LCG.org and click on the “Outreach” menu item.—Wyatt Ciesielka, Outreach Coordinator LCG Weekly Update for May 3, 2014

Rod Meredith: Scare Them First Then Tell Them How Much God Is Pleased With Them



Rod Meredith has always had a way with words.  Everything he writes he starts off trying to scare the shit out of you with death and damnation, and then moves into how glorious and magnificent his work is.  That kind of crap might have worked well for Herbert Armstrong in the 1940's and 50's, but it no longer carries any wieght today and is in fact off putting to most who read it.

Everyone has turned their back on Rod's god and it is royally pissed!  His god is ANGRY, but never fear, his god is DELIGHTED in the world Rod and crew are doing.  Armstrongism is so screwed up on its prioritizes in life.

Severe storms and tornadoes again brought death and destruction to the mid-section of America this week, causing millions of dollars of damage. However, due to the politically correct, anti-biblical mentality that prevails in the western world, few today make any connection with weather-related disasters and prophetic warnings of the consequences to a nation for turning away from the laws of God. Here in Charlotte, Dr. Meredith has completed a semi-annual letter that will be mailed to more than 440,000 subscribers. Mr. Gerald Weston reports that 27 visitors attended Tomorrow’s World presentations last weekend in Regina and Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada. Mr. Hernandez has returned from visiting congregations in South America, and Dr. Wilner Pierre has returned after visiting congregations in the French Caribbean. We have a number of ministers and wives arriving for the Council of Elders meetings this week and for the General Ministerial Conference next week. Please pray that God will watch over His people and that He will guide these upcoming meetings.—DSW  LCG Weekly Update for May 3, 2014
