GOD’S LAW: MORE TO BE DESIRED THAN FINE GOLD

June 29 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

GOD’S LAW: MORE TO BE DESIRED THAN FINE GOLD

“Therefore I love Thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.” Psalms 119: 127, KJV.

“In these days of peril shall we show less devotion to the truth of God, and less fervent attachment to His Law, than in former years? The very condition of things exists which Christ declared would be [by way of prophecy], prior to His second coming in power and glory.

“The prevailing ungodliness tends to paralyze and even to destroy true faith and piety. But THIS IS THE VERY TIME when the GOLD of Christian integrity will shine brighter, in contrast to the DROSS of hypocrisy and corruption. Now is the time for Christ’s CHOSEN to show their devotion to His service—the time for all His followers to BEAR THE NOBLEST TESTIMONY for their Master by standing FIRM against the prevailing evil.

THE BURDEN OF THE LAST MESSAGE STILL MINGLED WITH MERCY TO THE WORLD

June 24, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE BURDEN OF THE LAST MESSAGE STILL MINGLED WITH MERCY TO THE WORLD

“All His commandments are sure. They stand fast forever and ever and are done in truth and uprightness.” Psalms 111:7,8 KJV.

When the laws of man, themselves blatant breakers of God’s law or even lawless or “a law to themselves,” enact laws and enforce them, the “fruit” or the result is only as good, reliable, truthful, lasting and righteous as the “trees” that bore them or from where they were plucked or fell from.

The Battle for the ‘Present Truth’

“Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in present truth.” 2 Peter 1: 12 (see verses 1-11), Authorized Version

Jesus Christ, God Creator in the flesh (John 1: 14; 1 Tim. 3: 16) declared, “I am the way, the truth and the life,” John 14: 6. “Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, If you continue (abide) in My Word, you are My disciples indeed, and you shall know truth, and the truth shall set you free.” John 8: 31, 32.

In the plan of salvation the “good news” of the gospel is that Creator of man, condescended in the incarnation to become the Savior of mankind, fallen by sin and hopeless captives of Satan, by delivering, “setting them free” by His life example as a man, “tempted in all points as man is tempted yet without sin,” and by His death on the cross as their substitute and surety from, not in, the power and bondage to sin which is “the transgression of the law (1 John 3: 4). Hence the specific name given Him at His birth, “Thou shalt call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins.” Matt. 1: 21. Notice here that while Jesus died for the sins of the world, He saves His people from their sins! That is the truth.

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.”

THE ‘BELLY GOD’ & GOD’S DISEASED BODY TEMPLE

May 19, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE ‘BELLY GOD’ & GOD’S DISEASED BODY TEMPLE

“For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ [cross of self-denial]: whose end is destruction, whose god is their BELLY, and whose glory is in their shame—who set their mind on EARTHLY things.” Phil 3:18,19,NKJV.

This current global crisis is disease-centered, multiple other crises branching out from it. To cut to the chase and better understand why, instead of vainly waiting for the “experts” who can’t even agree among themselves, turn to the eternal Source of all wisdom. Study for yourselves the following:

AS THE COVID-19 CRISIS IS A GLOBAL ISSUE OF CONCERN SO WILL THE FINAL CRISIS.

April 1, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

AS THE COVID-19 CRISIS IS A GLOBAL ISSUE OF CONCERN SO WILL THE FINAL CRISIS.

“We are to be put on view to the world, and to angels, and to men.” 1 Cor.4:9, Bible in Basic English.

There is a difference between “cure” and “solution” in the present context of this Covid-19 pandemic. If a cure is not quickly found but instead more calamities follow in its train, prophecy tells us what happens next: the final blame game is resorted to by those who themselves are responsible for causing them— as in the time of apostate king Ahab and Elijah. The ones who will be blamed are those faithful to God’s law, the Bible Sabbath in particular.
