THE SONG THAT GOD WANTS US TO LEARN IN DARKNESS

November 11, 2019

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE SONG THAT GOD WANTS US TO LEARN IN DARKNESS.

“I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined to me, and heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps. He has put a New Song in my heart—praise to our God: many will see it and fear, and will trust in the Lord.” Psalms 40: 1-3.

“In the full light of day, and in the heating of music of other voices, the caged bird will not sing the song that his master seeks to teach him. He learns a snatch of this, a trill of that, but never a separate and entire melody.

Man’s Foolish Fear of the Effect rather than its Cause

Man’s Foolish Fear of the Effect rather than its Cause

     “Inasmuch then as the children having partaken [sharers] of flesh and blood, He likewise shared [“partook,” K.J.V.] in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

Heb.  2: 14, 15, N.K.J.V

Man has this persistent fatal fascination, even to these closing hours of earth’s probation—to the demonic delight of “the “father of lies and murderer from the beginning” (John 8: 44)—they foolishly fear death, rather than sin. But sin is the cause, and death is its effect and consequence; and if not “speedily repented of” and overcome as the last Adam overcame, becomes its eternal reward. “The wages of sin is death.” Rom. 6: 23.

TEACH US TO NUMBER OUR DAYS

November 6, 2019

MID-WEEK MESSAGE FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

TEACH US TO NUMBER OUR DAYS.

“The days of our lives are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they are eighty years, yet their boast is only labor and sorrow, for it will soon be cut off, and we fill fly away…..So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom (apply our hearts unto wisdom, KJV).” Psalms 90: 10,12, NKJV.

Without life time has no existence, no meaning, no value. God in Christ alone is the Source, Giver and Sustainer of life, temporal and eternal. Thus we read: “Our time belongs to God. Every moment is His, and we are under the most solemn obligation to improve it to His glory.

Present Truth for the last days

November 4, 2019

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

“Therefore I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth.” 2 Pet. 1:13 (see verses 1-12).

What constitutes Present Truth for the last days? These are made up of vital “essentials, “foundational truths,” or “pillars.” The integrity of any structure is determined by the soundness of its foundation and the adequacy and strength of its pillars.

Everything else is just the superstructure. The Five essential pillars of Present Truth are: 1) The second advent of Jesus 2) the binding claims of the Decalogue, including the 7th day Sabbath and the perpetuity and immutability if God”s law 3) the 3rd angel’s message in its fullness, in correct relationship to the 1st and 2nd angels’ messages.

The Enlightenment that a Study of the Incarnation and the Godhead Brings

The Enlightenment that a Study of the Incarnation and the Godhead Brings

        “No man has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him, and He is in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. Whosoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God [not the mere “son of Mary”], God abides in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.”

1 John 4: 12-16

      “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth, for He will not speak of His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you all things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.”  

John 16: 13-15.

And “What God hath joined together, let no man put asunder (or “let not men separate).”Matt. 19: 6. After the last merciful warnings proclaimed in the three angel’s messages of Revelation 14 comes the last warning of the whole Bible: “For I testify to everyone who hears the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, and from the holy city [the New Jerusalem from above], and from the things which are written in this book.” Rev. 22: 18, 19.  This is actually not a New Testament warning but a repetition from the Old:
