Mature Literature:
Starting a Local Congregation, 40 pages by Norman Edwards. This paper has been five years in the making. Its original title was Starting a Sabbath Service, but it covers aspects of a congregation that go outside the service: how and why to organize a congregation, utilizing spiritual gifts, teaching, avoiding arguments, music and praise, speaking in tongues, prophesying, role of women, dress, formal organization, baptism, weddings, funerals, statements of beliefs, naming a group, finding a place to meet, local evangelism and more.
Scriptures About the Sabbath, 2 page tract by Norman Edwards. Old and New Testament verses about the Sabbath with only 20 sentences of commentary. Good for teaching the Sabbath to those who believe in the Bible but are not already opinionated about the Sabbath.
Bible Sabbath Musicians Association Membership Questionnaire, 3 pages by Robin Todd. All you need to join.
March 14, 1980 Letter to Rod Meredith from Herbert Armstrong, 4 pages. HWA explains why he did not want Meredith to be head of the Church—not faulting him for specific sins, but because Meredith was too "position conscious". (But did not HWA frequently claim to be the human head of all God's work worldwide?).
Basic Literature:
The Declaration of Independence and the Federal Constitution, 10 pages. The Apostle Paul knew his rights under the law of his day as he traveled and taught Christ (Acts 16:37-40; 22:25-30; 25:11,16). These documents can help us know ours.
