When Herbert W. Armstrong was being called into God’s Work, something really puzzled him. The church he affiliated himself with had more of God’s truth than any other, but the work it was doing was insignificant. He couldn’t understand why God wouldn’t have a more powerful work!
Mr. Armstrong recognized from Scripture that individuals need to accept correction from God in order to grow. He believed that the same principle must also apply to a church, but he never heard of a church publicly admitting error and making changes. He decided to test this church to see if it was the same way.
Mr. Armstrong recognized a clear error in this church’s teaching, even though it was a minor point. He wrote a 16-page manuscript explaining it and sent it to the church leaders. The president of the church’s general conference wrote him back—and admitted Mr. Armstrong was correct! But he also said they couldn’t correct that publicly because members would be upset and wouldn’t accept it. So they felt they had to continue to preach the error.
That was quite an admission from what we recognize now to be the Sardis era of God’s Church.
That incident really shook Mr. Armstrong’s confidence. He saw that these church leaders had faith in the people more than in God!
