FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
THE CHRISTIAN SOLDIER’S GIRDLE OF TRUTH
“Stand therefore, having your loins [of the mind] girt about with truth.”
Eph. 6:14, A.V. (See verses 10-18).
“There is absolutely no safeguard against evil but truth. No man can stand firm for right in whose heart the truth does not abide. There is only one power that can make and keep us steadfast [in the truth]—the power of God, imparted to us by the grace of Christ [through the Holy Spirit.

ONE DAY AT A TIME DAILY
“Hear my cry, O God: attend unto my prayer…So will I sing praise unto Thy name for ever, that I may DAILY perform my vows.”
Psalms 61: 1, 8, A.V. (Read verses 1-8 for yourself)
“Trust in Him AT ALL TIMES: ye people, pour out your heart before Him: God is a refuge for us [at all times!].”
Ps. 62:8
“How thankful I am that we have only one day to live at a time. One day to keep our souls stayed upon [God by faith], one day to watch, one day to progress in the spiritual life, and thus our day may be fruitful, precious [not wasted] days to us.

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
TOO MUCH TIME RESULTED IN IDOLATRY AT SINAI
With the whole nation, spiritual Israel suddenly found plenty of time on hand, in fact too much. Here is a solemn lesson and a dire warning from the example of ancient Israel as to what they did when Moses and Joshua went up to Mt. Sinai to receive the Law from God:
“While Moses was absent, it was a time of WAITING and SUSPENSE to Israel. The people KNEW that he had ascended the mount with Joshua, and had entered the cloud of thick darkness. which could be seen in the plain below, resting in the mountain peak, illuminated from time to time with the lightning of the divine presence.”

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).”

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
SPIRITUAL PRIDE SAYS: ‘I HAVE NEED OF NOTHING’
As keepers of the commandments of God, we profess to be the people of God at the present time. And that is true. What is equally true is that our spiritual condition of lukewarmness distorts our spiritual vision so that we fail to see the importance, beauty, and power of the grace of true humility. We think we know and have everything.
But the True Witness has a very specific message and warning for us! When He says, “know ye not,” He reveals that this spiritual blindness is directly responsible for denying and depriving ourselves of the fullest blessings and benefits that true humility brings in its train!

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
THIS TIME, NO MORE TIME EXCUSES REMAIN.
“Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast Thou made all men in vain? Ps. 89:47. “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Ps. 90:12, KJV.
God gives, and takes away but only for our benefit and His glory. This corona virus is taking away a lot but is also “giving back,” depending on how you view it spiritually.
Many who have pleaded the excuse that they “just had no time” in their madhouse daily routine to study God’s Word briefly, much less in depth, just saw “Mr. Excuse” walk out of the door, slammed it shut, leaving them inside their homes alone with a long-ignored VIP guest named “Mr. Time.”

How God Chose Gideon’s Elite Force of Three Hundred Men
“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.” Ezekiel 3: 17, vs 18-21; cf. 33: 1-20.
The gospel-prophet said: “His watchmen are blind, they are all ignorant; they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. Yes, they are greedy dogs which never have enough. And they are shepherds who cannot understand; they all look to their own way, everyone for his own gain, from his own territory.” Isa. 56: 10, 11, NKJV.
The counterfeit watchmen are the unfaithful, cowering, self-serving religious shepherds of the flock “who cannot understand,” spiritual guardians of the people, pastors, ministers who are not proclaiming God’s warning messages today. God further describes them as “dumb dogs that cannot bark,” “lazy and greedy dogs which never have enough.” If ever!

Unchain Your Heart from Worry and Fear
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and a sound mind” (1 Tim. 1: 7).
“People are Afraid’: Sen. Kamala Harris on What the Government Should Do About the Coronavirus & Life in one of the Epicenters.”: Sean Neuman, People, March 23, 2020.
Dear fellow Bible-believing Christians. Be honest. Are you worried and fearful because of this mysterious sudden emergence as if from nowhere (the blame-game is on) of this novel (new) corona virus that rapidly evolved into a global pandemic overnight, as it were like no other known previous to it—catching all flat-footed, instantly revealing how proud and self-confident finite mortals are and yet how shamefully and clumsily unprepared they are to deal with the bigger and greater catastrophes, calamities and conflicts that will be played out in the biggest stage and theater of the world.
