When it comes to the “gold standard” of ministers in any of our
lifetimes, Herbert W. Armstrong stands out because of his uncompromising
dedication to the Truth of God. However, there is really only one final

perfect Minister against which others are judged or measured, and that is Jesus
Christ. The ministry of the Church of God bears tremendous accountability to
continue to follow the Truth as God has and does reveal it to His faithful
servants.
