NEHEMIAH’S EXAMPLE IN UNIQUE CRISIS RE: GOD’S WORK

March 24 2020
FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

NEHEMIAH’S EXAMPLE IN UNIQUE CRISIS RE: GOD’S WORK.

“I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down.” Neh 4:9. (See Nehemiah ch.6; PK ch.55, “Heathen Plots). — Nehemiah wisely refused to be distracted and thus hinder the grave task entrusted to him to accomplish the critical last phase of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. This lesson is preserved for the guidance of all who are called “repairers of the breach,” “watchmen on the wall,” and light-bearers of the third angels’ message.

THE “LITTLE FLOCK” IS GOD’S ARMY

March 23 2020
FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE “LITTLE FLOCK” IS GOD’S ARMY.

“Watch ye. stand fast in the faith, quit ye like men, be strong.” 1 Cor. 17:4, KJV (See 1!Sam. 4:9). “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, Behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee.” Isa. 60:3.

The Holy Spirit woke me up early this morning by these verses. Lest we forget, we are as it were, on the very borders of the eternal world. We are entering the last conflict for which we should have been training for all these long years. This is the time to manifest strength and courage amidst conflict and calamity. This is no longer boot-camp. We are facing live-fire. The confrontation between the “little David’s” versus the giant Goliaths in the actual field of battle is about to take place. By this time, we should, like David, have already left guarding the sheep in the pasture against wolves and stepped to the greater challenge of facing the giant Goliaths of the last days.

Lessons If Learned from Covid-19 Crisis, Prepares for the Bigger Ones Coming, Preceding the Biggest One

    “Even the stork in the heavens knows her appointed times; and the turtledove, the swift, and the swallow observe the times of their coming. But My people do not know the judgment of the Lord.”       

Jer. 8: 7

Jesus said to the Pharisees and Sadducees: “When it is evening you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red; and in the morning it will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening. Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.” Matt. 16: 2, 3, N.K.J.V. “It is written” reveals that the same undiscerning ignorance of the antitypical modern Pharisees and Sadducees is being revealed today.

IS UNCHANGING GOD OR CHANGING CIRCUMSTANCES CONTROLLING US?

March 18 2020
MID-WEEK MESSAGE FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

IS UNCHANGING GOD OR CHANGING CIRCUMSTANCES CONTROLLING US?

“For He Himself has said, I will never leave you nor forsake you. So we may boldly say: the Lord [of the Sabbath] is my Helper; I will not fear what man [or the Coronavirus] can do to me.” Heb. 13: 5,6.  What is the great want in the world today? “The great want in the world is the want of men—men who will not be bought or sold, men who in their inmost souls are true and honest, men who do not fear to call sin by its right name, men whose conscience is true to duty as the needle to the pole, men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall.” Education, 57.  “Man can make his circumstances, but circumstances should NEVER make the man.

CRISIS REVEAL CHARACTER

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

March 16 2020
CRISIS REVEAL CHARACTER.

“Thus saith the Lord, Cursed be the man that trusteth In man, and maketh flesh his [right] arm [for power], and whose heart departeth from the Lord. For he shall like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inherit the parched places of the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. Blessed is the man that trusteth In the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is (read verse 8 containing the the conditional promise).” Jer. 17:5-8.

Verses 9,10 reveals the hidden contents of our hearts. But consider the following: “It is in a crisis that character is revealed. When the earnest voice proclaimed at midnight, Behold, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet Him! and the sleeping virgins were roused from their slumbers, it was SEEN who had made preparation for the event. Both parties were taken unawares; BUT one was prepared for the emergency, and the other was found without preparation. So NOW, a sudden and UNLOOKED-FOR calamity, something that brings the soul face to face with DEATH, will show whether there is real faith in the promises of God.

What Fruit are You Eating? Of the Tree of Knowledge or the Tree of Life?

What Fruit are You Eating? Of the Tree of Knowledge or the Tree of Life?

    “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.”

Deut. 29: 19, NKJV

We continue from last week quoting from E.G. White’s “Confrontation,” published originally under the title of “Redemption; or the Temptation of Christ in the Wilderness,” Review & Herald Publishing Association, pp. 12-15. They are in bold face and my comments with necessary references are in regular type:

DON’T REPEAT THE HISTORY OF THE CHOSEN PEOPLE!

March 11, 2020

MID-WEEK MESSAGE FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

DON’T REPEAT THE HISTORY OF THE CHOSEN PEOPLE!

See Acts 17: 11 and be a Berean.  “In this our day as in Christ’s day, there will be a misreading and misinterpreting of the Scriptures. If the Jews had studied the Scriptures with earnest, prayerful hearts, their searching would have been rewarded with a true knowledge of the time, and not only the time, but also the manner of Christ’s FIRST appearing. . . .

They had the testimony of Daniel: they had the testimony of Isaiah and other prophets; they had the teaching of Moses; and here was Christ Himself in their midst, and STILL were searching the Scriptures for evidence in regard to His coming!  MANY are doing the same thing today because they have not experienced the TESTING message comprehended in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd angels’ messages.
