Zechariah 11:11
@@@^Several months later I presented the bill for payment, but was refused. However, what was the more painful was that I lost their friendship and they became my enemies rather than to remain friends. Later I called on the family who had not seen me for a long time, and when one of the ladies opened the door and saw me she was silent and appeared to be somewhat perplexed as to what she should do, but as I smilingly and in a friendly way, said to her, “I have come Sr ————,to find out how you are getting along,’ etc., she invited me in, though coldly. After we had a short conversation together, I said to her, “I have come to ask You to forgive me for whatever wrong I may have done.” She surprisingly said,“ You have done nothing.” But I answered, “I must have done something, for we used to be good friends, and are not now.” As I insisted to be forgiven, she said, “Well, you are forgiven.” We then talked as friendly as before the barrier came between us and eclipsed our friendship, and I never mentioned the debt, neither did she ask me to forgive her, but she wanted to know about my business, and as I explained to her, she asked me to send her literature. Before leaving the house, and with her permission, I offered a prayer asking God to bless the whole family. Now, how can I hold the debt against her after the Lord has forgiven me of an untold greater debt than that which she owed me? Says Christ, “I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.” (Matt. 5:44.) But one may say, “I can not do this.” Very well, then, that one has judged himself unworthy of the kingdom and should no longer take the Lord’s name in vain by calling himself a Christian. (See Exodus 20:7.)
Mark 10:4
@@@^As the figures in these reports show that we have not lost a dollar of our gifts, but rather have multiplied them, we hope that we have not by neglect lost a soul that could have been saved. Our hearts are sad, however, when we think of the brethren who are kept in darkness simply because the denominational ministry has barred the sealing message from them, and because contrary to the will of God (Jer. 6:16; 1 John 4:1), they are foolish enough to commit their salvation to mortal men (specifically to the ministry), listening to their tirade against the message, while the ministers themselves, having been forbidden to read Present Truth literature or to listen to Present Truth message-bearers, hardly know anything about it! Moreover, these shepherds, whose religious liberty is taken away from them, forbid the laity’s investigating for themselves. Hence, as the greater part of both ministry and laity fear either the sacrifice they must make,—departing from all worldlings and worldliness, or the reproach of being cast out,—they are therefore perfectly willing to close their ears to the Voice of Christ while having them wide open to the voice of men, entirely trusting to what the conference presidents say, as though the ministers and the laity were senseless, unable either to think or to reason for themselves. Thus they are blindly giving consent to suggestions and commands of men, laying down all their God-given ability of judging for themselves, with the consequence that when they hear a voice, they need someone to tell them whether it is the voice of the Good Shepherd, or of the “roaring lion.” What a pity! May he Lord have mercy on them, and some way, somehow, rescue them from their lukewarm (satisfied) condition, by helping them to see that they are “wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked” (Laodicean), for they certainly see not their plight. May they hear the Voice of the True Witness and be healed, is our earnest prayer.
Mark 16:6
@@@^This monthly comforter gladly calls on all S. D. A.’s who open their doors and welcome its presence. It freely gives its time to minister to those who shall be heirs of salvation, and neither collects fees nor makes charges for its unselfish service; it lives on free-will contributions, burdening none and comforting all. Its constant prayer is that all its readers shall prosper and be in good health even as their souls prospereth. (3 John 2.)
John 6:5
@@@^“I can say that there is joy deeply in my heart, that I am, and hope to continue to be, one of those striving to be among the 144,000, who soon shall go walking through the gates of Jerusalem, into The Kingdom. I ask your prayers that I may be strong in the work of the Lord.” @3Clara Edens@3Hialeah, Florida
John 7:8
@@@^“With these questions on my mind, yet still feeling sure we were the people having all the truth, I bowed on my knees and prayed as I never prayed before, except the time I offered my first prayer when but a child. I had just listened to my first Bible story concerning the antediluvians. Mother had said: ‘they were drowned because they rejected the message God sent them.’ The thought had sent me to a lonely place in the woods, where I bowed on my knees, as I had seen the Lutheran minister do, and asked God that, if He ever had a message for us on this earth, He would let it be known to me.
John 12:12
@@@^This monthly comforter gladly calls on all who open their doors and welcome its presence. It cheerfully gives its time to minister to those who shall be heirs of salvation; it lives on the most nominal support, burdening none and comforting all; and its constant prayer is that all its readers shall prosper and be in good health, even as their souls prospereth (3 John 2).
Romans 6:7
@@@^I have been receiving your nefarious literature for sometime. Whoever sent in my name had no right to do so whatsoever. Did it without my knowledge or consent. I want you to drop my name from your list. No use to argue with you, for you know perfectly well your cult are fulfilling prophecy when you commence denouncing the brethren and misapplying Sister White’s Testimonies. You are just one of the “offshoots” and will sooner or later pass into oblivion as other “offshoots” have done. My prayer is that you will come to your senses ere it is too late. I have read your literature to some extent and I see no light in them whatever so please quit sending your literature to me or to any one. You are surely taking a terrible responsibility upon yourselves to try to lead away from the true S. D. A. faith. Your last booklet I received, @9Hear Both Sides of the Controversy,@7 is the most lifeless insult I ever read and to think it is to the most exalted association on earth. Think seriously of the harm you may have done to some but as for me you have only increased my faith in the General Conference and in this blessed Truth.
Romans 7:12
@@@^We have received your good literature in the past, and love every word of it. Though we love and appreciate the things contained therein, we are asking an interest in your earnest prayers to stand for real truth. We are happy to find the personal testimonies of some of our friends in your paper, and as soon as we are able, we want to purchase your two volumes of precious truths. We have the little books and cherish them all. @3R. F.
Romans 8:6
@@@^Some years ago when one came forth claiming to have the gift of prophecy, I was very eager to investigate the claims, hoping for a true prophet. In our local church, a small group of us became interested, and all were disfellowshipped from the church and treated most shamefully. I was new in the faith, and the experience was a dreadful shock to me. It made me feel that I never cared to investigate anything else, but I have read a little from the tracts sent me, for I know that Sister White admonishes us to investigate. So I am going to study carefully and prayerfully.
Romans 9:12
@@@^I am writing this to tell you how thankful I am for the tracts you have been sending to me, for they came in answer to my prayer for more light on the subject I am now reading. Thanking you for the printed matter you have sent me, I ask God’s blessing on you and your work. @3S. R.
Romans 11:7
@@@^“With eager interest, with fervent prayer, come to the Word of God, that you may know what is truth, manifesting the same spirit as did Nathanael when he earnestly besought the Lord that he might know the truth. Light will come to every earnest seeker for truth, as it came to Nathanael. . . .
Romans 16:1
@@@^At the conference meetings in Los Angeles in the spring of 1934, it was unanimously adopted that every Friday evening at the appointed hour (5 P.M. Pacific Standard Time; 6 P.M. Mountain Standard Time; 7 P.M. Central Standard Time; 8 P.M. Eastern Standard Time) believers everywhere in Present Truth join in seeking God in behalf of the message, believing that such a concerted voice will, in all truth, lay at Heaven’s altar “the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man [which] availeth much
1 Corinthians 61:1
@@@^Brethren, may these disillusioning words open your eyes that you may see yourselves as you are, so that “the shame of thy nakedness do not appear.” The promise is unfailing: “Anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.” Our prayers are that you fail not, for we love you.
2 Corinthians 2:8
@@@^Now, in the light of the foregoing statements, will you not, Brother, Sister, take time carefully and prayerfully to ascertain whether or not God is leading in this reformatory work? He has promised to all who will do this, that He will not leave them in darkness but will guide them into all Truth! So will you not take Him at His Word, and try Him?
2 Corinthians 3:2
@@@^This friendly visitor is endeavoring, therefore, to awaken an interest in you, dear Laodicean, to go to the bottom of the matter, to make sure of your salvation. So will you not be courteous enough to sit down with it in humble, impartial, prayerful study which must repay you many, many, times more than what you put into it?
2 Corinthians 7:4
@@@^Our sincere prayer and earnest hope, therefore, is that the valuable and irrevocable time expended in this effort of good will and deep concern for your souls, will be the means of bringing you to rejoice in the glorious hope which the @9Rod@7 sets before you. May your heart yet be responsive to the “Lord’s voice” which still “crieth unto the city, . . . hear ye the rod, and Who hath appointed it.” Mic. 6:9.
2 Corinthians 16:14
@@@^“Our convictions need daily to be re-enforced by humble, sincere prayer and reading of the word. While we have an individuality, while we each should hold our convictions firmly, we must hold them as God’s truth and in the strength which God imparts. If we do not, they will be wrung from our grasp.”—@9Testimonies@7, Vol. 6, p. 401.
Galatians 5:1
@@@^“And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.” Rev. 5:8, 11, 12.
Galatians 29:1
@@@^“There must be,” says the Spirit of Prophecy, “a cleansing of the institutions similar to Christ’s cleansing of the temple of old. ‘It is written,’ saith the Lord, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves.’ There are in our institutions today transactions similar to those that took place in the temple courts in Christ’s time; and all heaven is looking on . . . The Lord will work to purify His church. I tell you in truth, the Lord is about to turn and overturn in the institutions called by His name. Just how soon this refining process will begin, I cannot say, but it will not be long deferred. He Whose fan is in His hand will cleanse His temple of its moral defilement. He will thoroughly purge His floor.” — @9Brethren in Responsible Positions@7, Sept. 1895.
