Page 15 of 332 Chronicles 5:4
@@@^This young lady in the heart to heart talk with her friends to whom she is writing tells how disappointed she was recently when some other young people, members of a family to whom this young lady’s parents had brought the S.D.A. message, failed to speak to her, but the courage of her heart was expressed in the following words: “They were the last people on earth that I would think of that would treat us coldly for they have always been dear to us. My, they used to love us so much! But it hurts terribly to have your friends pass you by. I hope that I shall soon be able to place myself above it all so that I won’t feel so badly about such things.”
2 Chronicles 6:2
@@@^“We have reached the crisis in our beloved little Cumberland Mountain church. The SRod message has brought a shaking to all of us who have given it earnest, prayerful study....Besides the Union and Local Presidents, there were two other conference workers present, with fifteen of our thirty members, composing the Monteagle church.”
2 Chronicles 7:3
@@@^“Throughout this trying ordeal we were given special grace from our Lord Jesus; and our hearts went out in love for our dear brethren and sisters, who are issuing these excommunications against believers in the SRod message; and at the same time retaining as members some who are living contrary to the fundamental principles of our faith. We can only offer the heartfelt prayer, ‘Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.”’
Ezra 2:1
@@@^As defenders of truth and righteousness, and because of our great love for our brethren, we, like John the Baptist, would rather be beheaded than to have the One Who died for us require their blood at our hands, should we betray our trust which He has laid upon us. Hence, for the salvation of our brethren as well as for ours, with sorrow we are compelled to publish this article, hoping to rescue from the approaching storm as many as possible of those who are about to be swept away by it.
Ezra 4:3
@@@^Therefore, now “the Lord standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people. The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of His people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses. What mean ye that ye beat My people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord God of hosts.” (Isa. 3:13-15.) (The Spirit of Prophecy, Vol. 1, p. 270 says “The prophecy of Isaiah 3, was presented before me, as applying to these last days.”) “I saw,” says the Spirit of Prophecy, “that it is in the providence of God that widows and orphans, the blind, the deaf, the lame, and persons afflicted in a variety of ways, have been placed in close Christian relationship to His church; it is to prove His people and develop their true character. Angels of God are watching to see how we treat these persons who need our sympathy, love, and disinterested benevolence. This is God’s test of our character.”–“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 3, p. 511.
Ezra 8:5
@@@^The test is coming and regardless of temptations we must not fail to demonstrate what we believe and show them that we keep the truth, love the brethren, and are willing to die for them if it would awaken them and be saved, for we were no better than they when the truth found us.
Ezra 8:7
@@@^@@Mrs. F. Charboneau@0Dear Sister: @^I am enclosing $15.00. It is my tithe which I have kept over a period of time, not being certain where I should send it....I have depended so long on our beloved organization that it is like sacrilege to hear any views contrary to the leaders of the body....
Ezra 8:8
@@@^I now see that we are indeed akin to the Catholics in this respect, and it is so hard on me, for I was born and raised a Seventh-day Adventist, and my beloved father instilled in me a veneration for this people. But it seems the bottom has fallen out of everything to the end that we can no longer trust a minister to lead us to the kingdom, and I now know that they cannot. As a denomination we are lost and if the SRod is not the truth there is no hope for any of us.
Ezra 10:3
@@@^Do I believe that the SRod has the sealing message of the 144,000?___ Is it the message of the hour?___ Have I received any spiritual help from it?___ Has it caused me to repent of sins in which I indulged in before?___ Am I now a better S.D.A. than I was before I learned the message of the SRod?___ Do my S.D.A. brethren need this message?___ Do I now love the Bible, the Spirit of Prophecy, and the brethren more than I did before?___
Nehemiah 2:1
@@@^“Young and old, God is now testing you. You are deciding your own eternal destiny. Your pride, your love to follow the fashions of the world, your vain and empty conversation, your selfishness, are all put in the scale, and the weight of evil is fearfully against you....And I saw that the Lord was whetting His sword in heaven to cut them down. Oh that every lukewarm professor could realize the clean work that God is about to make among His professed people! Dear friends, do not deceive yourselves concerning your condition. You cannot deceive God.” ”Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 1, pp. 188, 189, 190. Read the third chapter of Isaiah, verses 16-26.
Nehemiah 3:5
@@@^Mt. Carmel Center has set the example and let all our brethren follow by strictly complying with God’s requirements if they wish to depart from the sins of the world, receive the seal of God and escape the destruction. All should make the necessary adjustments by the next issue of this paper and show to God that you are glad to obey all His righteous requirements, and by your sacrifice demonstrate your love for the salvation of His people that they may not stumble over your sins but be drawn to Him by your good example, and thus also prove true to the message we bear. Those who neglect to strictly comply to the testimony of the True Witness in this reform will be left without an excuse, and when asked: “Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment?” they will be speechless. (Matt. 22:12.)
Esther 2:4
@@@^@@From Georgia@0Dear Brethren:@^The SRod message has wonderfully reformed me since the last month. I have corrected my eating and conversation and have gained a greater love for my brethren. Yes, it makes me sad that only so few are enough interested in their salvation to study the truth for themselves. Too many forget that God is just, and merciful. @3(Signed) P.
Job 3:6
@@@^We never cease to marvel at the great love of our heavenly Father, and, with the Psalmist we can truly say: “What is man that thou art mindful of him?” I felt indebted to our Protector as I arrived safely in the East after an absence of many months, for I am ever mindful of the dangers of travel in times like these, but it has pleased the Lord to keep His humble servant during the past several months while visiting those “standing in the light,” and “sighing and crying” for their own sins and for those of their dear brethren in the church.
Job 3:9
@@@^It has been a long hard pull to get most of our people to see that much of the Scriptures which we have been applying to other religious bodies, refer to us as a people, and that the experience of the Jewish nation is being repeated in our current history. In fact, the servant of the Lord tells us that we “have done worse than they.”–“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 1, p. 129. Surely the Lord has been merciful to the S.D.A. church, and we now fully realize that it is indeed “the object of His supreme regard”! and we can truly say, “Had He dealt with us according to our just deserts, none of us would be here.” May the Lord help us to be more appreciative of His great love and mercy.
Job 4:2
@@@^I have been in the S.D.A. church for over 40 years, and as I love the truth more than before, I see the need for reformation. The church is getting more and more like the world but I must drift along no longer with the unconverted multitude–I must by my good example encourage others for the better and not for the worse. @3(Signed) Mrs. S. E. J.
Job 8:4
@@@^“Air, air, the precious boon of Heaven, which all may have, will bless you with its invigorating influence, if you will not refuse it entrance. Welcome it, cultivate a love for it, and it will prove a precious soother of the nerves. Air must be in constant circulation to be kept pure. The influence of pure, fresh air is to cause the blood to circulate healthfully through the system. It refreshes the body, and tends to render it strong and healthy, while at the same time its influence is decidedly felt upon the mind, imparting a degree of composure and serenity. It excites the appetite, and renders the digestion of food more perfect, and induces sound and sweet sleep.”–“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 1, p. 702.
Psalms 1:1
@@@^Every news item that has been carried by this little paper through out the field, the editor has been very pleased to broadcast and happy to share with all God’s people far and wide the joy that comes because of each advancing step against the foe and toward the interior of the great vineyard now in the storing time of the “firstfruits.” But as it is natural for one kind of weather to be followed by another, with grief and sympathy we announce the death of our most beloved Sister Charboneau, who has been the treasurer of the Association from its very beginning over six years ago, and who sought to promote its interest even beyond her strength almost to the very day of her death.
Psalms 5:7
@@@^@@Dear Brethren: @^By reading “The Symbolic Code” which I received from a friend of mine, I think this reveals the truth for this time. For the things that are revealed in it shows me very plain that a modern church is gone very much astray as to the true foundation and principles. I would like to be put on the list of the ones who read the Code and if you have anything new in print I would like to have it if possible. @2Yours with much love, @3(Signed) P. F.
Psalms 7:6
@@@^Does this curt method of investigation appeal to you, my brethren, as God’s way of dealing with His people? Furthermore, does the general spirit of aloofness that accompanies the meetings in which these Pharisaical decisions are made show forth the love of the humble Nazarene? Or do you think as the parents of the blind man that you can hold a neutral position and yet save your souls? If you do you are terribly mistaken and will in the end be disappointed and gnash your teeth.
Proverbs 4:3
@@@^@@Dear Brethren in Christ: @^“Words can not express my joy and delight and appreciation for the good work of The Shepherd’s Rod. I am convinced that it spells lost or saved to any one who ever reads it. It certainly is the last message for our people (the Seventh-day Adventist) to awaken them to a realization of their own condition. Oh, may the Lord help us to study this light more and fully accept it by His grace and by faith. I love it and may His blessings abide with you and all who study it. It is what we have needed for a long time and may I add this? If you need money for support call on me and what little I can give, by His grace, I shall be glad to help.” @3(Signed) E.W.
