I LONG FOR THAT ‘BETTER COUNTRY,’ HOW ABOUT YOU?

May 31, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

I LONG FOR THAT ‘BETTER COUNTRY,’ HOW ABOUT YOU?

“These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off [by faith] were assured of them, embraced them, and confessed that they were STRANGERS AND PILGRIMS on the earth. For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a HOMELAND. And truly if they had called to mind that COUNTRY from which they had COME OUT, they would have had opportunity to return. But now they desire a BETTER, that is, A HEAVENLY COUNTRY. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called THEIR GOD, for He has prepared a city for them.” Heb. 11: 13-16, NKJV.

In John 14:1-3 Jesus promised His faithful disciples that He would prepare mansions for them. “A fear of making the future inheritance SEEM TOO MATERIAL has led many to SPIRITUALIZE AWAY the very truths which lead us to look upon it as our HOME.”

“Christ assured His disciples that He went to prepare mansions for them in the Father’s house [the “third heavens” itself]. Those who accept the teachings of God’s Word will not be wholly ignorant concerning the heavenly abode. Human language is inadequate to describe the REWARD OF THE RIGHTEOUS. It will be known ONLY to those who behold it. No finite mind can comprehend the glory of the Paradise of God.”

‘BACK TO EDEN’ MEANS MUCH MORE THAN ORIGINAL DIET

May 27, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

‘BACK TO EDEN’ MEANS MUCH MORE THAN ORIGINAL DIET

“God the Father always worked through His Son, both in creation and redemption (Gen. 1:1-24; Col. 1:15-19; Heb. 1:1-3,8].  Therefore it was Jesus Christ who created ‘the heavens and the earth’ and ‘rested the seventh day.’

‘All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made.  He was in the world and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not.’ John 1:3,10,KJV.

REMEMBER WEEKLY THE CREATOR’S MEMORIAL DAY

May 25, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

REMEMBER WEEKLY THE CREATOR’S MEMORIAL DAY

See Exodus 20 : 8-11. And God said: “Moreover I also gave them My Sabbaths, to be a SIGN between them and Me, that they might know that I SANCTIFY them.” Ezekiel 20 : 12 (See verse 20).

To the remnant who are faithfully keeping the commandments of God and overcoming their transgressions of God’s Law by grace, the “sign,” which also means “mark,” or “seal” has already been “written” in their mind, because it has already been committed to memory.

IDOLATROUS INFATUATIONS: BELSHAZZAR’S FALL

May 22, 2020
FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

IDOLATROUS INFATUATIONS: BELSHAZZAR’S FALL

See Daniel 5:1-29. “Weighed in the balances and found wanting.” Verse 27

“No misfortune is so great as to become a worshipper of a false god. No man/woman is in such miserable darkness as he/she who has lost his way to heaven. It seems that an infatuation is upon him/her, for he has a false god. To turn this worship of a human, fallen, corrupt human beings in earth, to the only true object of worship seems a hopeless task. [thats how overpowering fatal obsession and infatuation is].

GOD’S LAW OF LOVE: GUIDE OF LIFE THAT COMES FROM HIM

May 20, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

GOD’S LAW OF LOVE: GUIDE OF LIFE THAT COMES FROM HIM

“Love, the basis of creation and redemption, is the basis of true education.”

“This is made plain in the law that God has given as the guide of life. The first and great commandment is: ‘Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.’ Mark 12:30.”

“To love Him, the Infinite, the Omniscient One, with the whole strength and mind and heart, means the HIGHEST development of every power. It means that in the whole being—the body, the mind, as well as the soul—the image of God is to be restored.”

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).”
