The material contained in this book, GOD’S GREAT FAMILY OF SONS, has been in preparation over a period of some twenty years. As we read the word of God, our minds begin to grasp what great importance our Lord has placed upon His intention to bring forth a vast family of sons of God. Paul, writing to the Romans, made this very significant statement: “Whom He did foreknow He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the first born among many brethren.”
Rom. 8:29.
Great importance is added to this incredible statement by reading the translation of Weymouth, which, if possible, gives an even more forceful understanding of Paul’s inspired statement. Those whom He has foreknown He has also predestined to share the likeness of His Son, that He might be the eldest in a vast family of brothers; and those whom He has predestined He has also called; and those whom He has called He has also acquitted; and those whom He has acquitted He has also glorified.”
Rom. 8:29, 30. (Weymouth).
As we read the pages of this book, we will see the purpose of God unfolding – a pre determined plan by which He will govern the universe in the aeons to come.

God’s Great Plan
God’s Great Plan
“GOD’S great plan for the redemption of mankind is as much bound up to prayer for its prosperity and success as when the decree creating the movement was issued from the Father, bearing on its frontage the imperative, universal and eternal condition, “Ask of me, and I will give thee the heathen for thy inheritance and the uttermost part of the earth for thy possession.” In many places an alarming state of things has come to pass, in that the many who are enrolled in our churches are not praying men and women. Many of those occupying prominent positions in church life are not praying men. It is greatly to feared that much of the work of the Church is being done by those who are perfect strangers to the closet. Small wonder that the work does not succeed.

QUOTE
“A dear friend of mine who was quite a lover of the chase, told me the following story: ‘Rising early one morning,’ he said, ‘I heard the baying of a score of deer hounds in pursuit of their quarry. Looking away to a broad, open field in front of me, I saw a young fawn making its way across, and giving signs, moreover, that its race was well-nigh run. Reaching the rails of the enclosure, it leaped over and crouched within ten feet from where I stood. A moment later two of the hounds came over, when the fawn ran in my direction and pushed its head between my legs. I lifted the little thing to my breast, and, swinging round and round, fought off the dogs. I felt, just then, that all the dogs in the West could not, and should not capture that fawn after its weakness had appealed to my strength.’ So is it, when human helplessness appeals to Almighty God. Well do I remember when the hounds of sin were after my soul, until, at last, I ran into the arms of Almighty God.”

Peculiar Conditions of an End-Time
Peculiar Conditions of an End-Time
Reading: Luke ii. 25-38; I Cor. x. 11; Heb. viii. 13, ix. 26.
WE ARE BEING LED
at this time to take note of the fact that we are at an end-time, and that God does a peculiar work at such a time. Things become very strange and very difficult at an end-time; everything seems to be thrown into a state of disturbance, upheaval, intense pressure and conflict. The great conflicting faces in this universe register very terribly and intensely upon that which is of God and upon those who are of account to Him, so that there often arises the sense that this is an actual end, and a question as to what more is possible. Inwardly we feel that the way is becoming exceedingly hedged up: ‘frustration’ is the word which seems to prevail, and outwardly everything is in a state of serious and great question as to the future. Indeed, it becomes more persistently the experience of the true people of God that they could give up and abandon everything. The ways in which this works out are numerous, but the whole effect is to paralyse and put out of commission that which is of God and bring it to a complete standstill. It is this, then, that will govern our consideration at this time–that we are in an end-time and that in end-times the work of God takes a particular form and is of a peculiar nature.
Earthquake
by Robert Burgess 2/1/2000
On the evening of Jan 27th (2000), I dreamt that Myself and a few others were in a large auditorium of some sort, getting ready for a large meeting of some kind. There were many people all around us making preparations for these upcoming services, the weather was warm and the doors were standing open. Some of the people were busy sweeping, others doing little touch-up painting, and others doing various kinds of arranging things (Moving the Piano, arranging the chairs.. PA equipment was being unloaded and tested, etc.). I recognized no one, nor were we known by any of them. In fact, no one paid any attention to us at all, it seemed kind of strange that they wouldn’t ask us who we were, and where we were from etc.. , but I just thought “It’s because they don’t have much time for small talk right now.”
I remember thinking that this place did not look anything like a Church Building, but
