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.”’

BEHOLD THE SUN NOT THE CLOUDS, THE ROSES NOT THE THORNS.
“But unto you that fear My name, shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His wings.” Mal. 4:2. “We also have the prophetic word made sure, which you would do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the Morning Star arises in your hearts.” 2 Pet.1:19, NKJV.
The counterfeits Sun of righteousness is the “son of perdition,” the “man of sin”(2 Thess. 2:3)—symbols of Satan whose vicegerent on earth is the Antichrist, the papacy— who has a lot to do with what is taking the world by storm in this current covid-19 crisis, in case you don’t know or lost sight of in the manufactures excitement, panic, confusion and fear-mongering. It has been said that “Back of the clouds the sun is always shining.” That is, behind and far higher than the dark, foreboding, glowering storm clouds is the steady bright sun, always shining, never dark. By nature, we tend to absorb what we gaze at and then bounce it off or reflect it on others as either a “savor of life unto life or death unto death”(2 Cor.2:15,16).

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.

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.

QUOTE FOR THE WEEK FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
“Everything in the world is in agitation. The signs of the times are ominous. The Holy Spirit is gradually yet progressively withdrawing from the earth, and calamity follows calamity by sea and by land. There are tempests, earthquakes, fires, floods, murders of every grade. Who can read the future? Where is security?
There is assurance in nothing that is human or earthly. Rapidly are men ranging themselves under the banner they have chosen. Restlessly are they waiting and watching the movement of their leaders.
