Which is Deadlier: Deception or Temptation?

    “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven . . . Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name, cast out demons in Thy name, and one done many wonderful things in Thy name? And then I will declare unto them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice iniquity ”

Matt. 7: 23

Calling upon His, i.e., Jesus Christ’s name, invoking the authority and power His name, apparently doing the very works He entrusted to His disciples, apostles and followers— prophesying, which of course comprehends teaching and expounding on the prophecies, casting out demons, ah! Yes! exorcising demons out of the possessed, and doing many wonderful things, including performing miracles of course!

THE PRESENT TRUTH OF REVIVAL & REFORMATION

March 4, 2020
MID-WEEK MESSAGE FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:


THE PRESENT TRUTH OF REVIVAL & REFORMATION

“Therefore I will not be negligent to remind you always of those things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth.” 2 Pet. 4:12. 

“We are in the great [anti-typical] day of atonement, when our sins are, by confession and repentance, to go beforehand to judgment [Dan. 8:14; Eccl.12:13,14].

God does not now accept a tame, spiritless testimony from His ministers. Such a testimony would not be present truth. His message for this time must be ‘meat in due season’ [Luke 12:42;2 Tim. 4:2-4] to feed the church of God. . . We must no longer remain on enchanted ground.

THE WATCHMAN’S SOLEMN WORK & RESPONSIBILITY

Mar 2 2020
FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE WATCHMAN’S SOLEMN WORK & RESPONSIBILITY

“Watchman, what of the night? The watchman said, If you will inquire, inquire; Return! Come back!” Isa. 21:10,11. 

“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore, hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me.” Eze.28:17 (Note: read verses 18-21 before moving on!). 

“In a special sense Seventh-day Adventist’s have been set in the world as watchmen and light-bearers [cf. Matt. 5:14-16].

To them has been entrusted the last warning for a perishing world. On them is shining wonderful light from the word of God. They have been given a work of the most solemn import—the proclamation of the first, second and third angels’ messages.

Where the Eroding Laws and Institutions of Man, the Churches and the Crumbling of Society Are Leading To

Where the Eroding Laws and Institutions of Man, the Churches and the Crumbling of Society Are Leading To

I cannot thank God enough for the high and holy privilege—with the corresponding accountability to Him that comes with it—of still having free, untrammeled access to “the Spirit of prophecy, which is the Testimony of Jesus” (Rev. 10: 10) entrusted to the “remnant people” who further carry the distinctive mark as “the saints patiently keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” Rev. 14: 12.  On that I share these. The extracts below are from the inspired pen of Ellen G. White in her must-read, must-own, must-study-with-Bible-prophecy, non-fiction, handbook of the last days, “The Great Controversy,” 1911 ed., pp. 584-589:

Church Authority vs Heaven’s Authority; Church Doctrine vs Bible Doctrine; Man’s Laws vs God’s Law. “No error accepted by the Christian world strikes more boldly against the authority of Heaven, none is more directly opposed to the dictates of reason, none is more pernicious in its results, than the modern doctrine, so rapidly gaining ground [this was written in 1884], that God’s law is no longer binding upon men.

HOW THE PATTERN MAN WALKED THE TALK

February 24 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

HOW THE PATTERN MAN WALKED THE TALK.

“He that saint he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked.” 1 John 2:6, KJV.

“Christ carried out in His life His own teachings. He manifested consistency without obstinacy, benevolence without weakness, tenderness and sympathy without sentimentalism. He was highly social, yet He possessed a reserved dignity that did not encourage undue familiarity.

Eroding Laws and Institutions of Man: No Assurance in Anything Human or Earthly both of State and Church: Part I

Eroding Laws and Institutions of Man: No Assurance in Anything  Human or Earthly both of State and Church: Part I

What is currently unfolding in rapid-fire action before us, particularly with the state of affairs of the state and its three branches of government— executive, legislative and judicial and their respective institutions, legal, constitutional and traditional, in relation to the church and its religious institutions and powers—will impact and shape our immediate future and eternal destiny in ways most still haven’t yet imagined, figured out or have been fully warned of. (Fast forward: The work of the three angels’ messages of Revelation 14, culminates in “enlightening the whole earth with knowledge of God’s glory” in the last invitation “to come out of her, My people” called the fourth angel of Revelation 18. God, through the Holy Spirit takes over the reins of the work of salvation in the promised latter rain. Then earth’s probation ends.)
