DO NOT POSTPONE OR NEGLECT TO PREPARE!

     “How shall we escape, if we neglect such a great salvation; which at first began to be spoken [declared] by the Lord, and was confirmed [attested] unto by them had heard Him.” Hebrews 2: 3, K.J.V.

“If you are right with God today, you are ready if Christ should come today.”- E.G. White, In Heavenly Places, p. 227

In verses 1 and 2 of our lead verse, the apostle wrote:  “Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at ay time we should let them slip, for if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward (see verse 3 above).”

WE DESPERATELY NEED GENUINE GRACE IN THIS COVID-19 MOMENTOUS MOMENT

May 3, 2020
FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

WE DESPERATELY NEED GENUINE GRACE IN THIS COVID-19 MOMENTOUS MOMENT

Good first working day morning of this week! Time to roll-up the sleeves of our mind. Check its spiritual oil dipstick first and see to makes sure you have enough oil of the Holy Spirit before starting its engines! Failure to do this has wrecked too many “brand new” Christian “character” cars. It lacks the “lubricating” power and properties of the Holy Spirit!

Let’s prayerfully and humbly turn to Jesus, the light, life, peace, wisdom and healer of our souls as He reveals Himself in the Written Word and ask Him what GRACE IS FOR.

WHICH COMES FIRST: NATIONAL RUIN OR NATIONAL APOSTASY?

April 13, 2020
FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

WHICH COMES FIRST: NATIONAL RUIN OR NATIONAL APOSTASY?

“It is time for Thee, Lord, to work: for they have made void Thy law.” Ps. 119: 126, KJV.

Who is “they” and when, how and why will they “make void God’s law?  These should be the questions foremost in the minds of the people of the sanctuary and prophecy at this very time of earth’s history.

The COVID-19 crisis that our beloved nation (and the whole world) is currently struggling with, is packed with more profound prophetic ramifications than most realize, the ignorance, which in itself, is the greater crisis and calamity, as it nears eternal consequences.

THE GREATER CRISIS BUILDING UP IN THIS COVID-19 CRISIS

Mar 29, 2020
FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE GREATER CRISIS BUILDING UP IN THIS COVID-19 CRISIS. 

Happy first working day of this week! Time to get up from bed, pray, eat your breakfast of God’s Written Word and roll up your sleeves and get to work. Work? Yes? Whether at home or where mandated essential jobs or work places- the work described by our Savior and protective Shepherd of the flock as “work” or “occupy” yourself for the night cometh when man works no more.”’

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.

SOME OF SATAN’S DEADLY SNARES & SCHEMES

February 12 2020

MID-WEEK MESSAGE FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

SOME OF SATAN’S DEADLY SNARES & SCHEMES.

– “Worldly schemes, worldly investments, made to please and glorify self, bring no returns worth having. God condemns them, and what God condemns is not safe for any living soul to practice.” UL 234. 

“Financial speculations are Satan’s snares, laid to catch souls. Satan engrossed men’s minds with dream-like prospects of great gain, and in their greed for gain, those who yield to him, make representations which are positively untrue. God and truth are forgotten. God desires His servants to AVOID ALL SPECULATION.

Satan may pave the way by making the FIRST investment successful, but O, how bitter will be the final outcome! If the professing Christian has success in his first speculation, his ruin is almost certain! Visionary schemes are wildly entered into as schemers present promising enterprises, which declare will pay a large percentage on all money invested. [Even] good men are fascinated and deceived.” UL 21.

Satan, prince of our fallen world, offers prosperity and fame to all who are willing to compromise their convictions.


It is my prayer that none us will fall for any of Satan’s snares and schemes, as many have and will continue to be! “Submit yourselves to God, resist the devil and he will flee away from you!”   NMF

February 5, 2020

MID-WEEK MESSAGE FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

WISE OR FOOLISH VIRGINS?

“Behold, The Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet Him!” Matt. 25:6.— “The great controversy is nearing its end. Every report of calamity by sea or land is a testimony to the fact that the end to all things is at hand. Wars and rumors of wars declare it. Is there a Christian whose pulse does not beat faster as he anticipates the great events opening before us? The Lord is coming. We hear the footsteps of an approaching God.” OHC346. 

What/Who are the Foolish virgins? “The state of the CHURCH represented by the foolish virgins, is also spoken of as the Laodicean state.” 2RH420.

THREE SURPRISES IN HEAVEN IF WE GET THERE

January 8 2020

MID-WEEK MESSAGE FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THREE SURPRISES IN HEAVEN IF WE GET THERE.

– “Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven.” See Matt. 7:21-23 first. “

A Christian once said that when he reached heaven he expected to meet with three causes of wonder. (1) He would wonder to find some that he did not expect to be there.(2) He would wonder not to see some that he expected to meet, and lastly, he would wonder most to find so in worthy a sinner as himself in the Paradise of God.
