@@@^Today I can thank God from the depth of my soul for the promise of the Holy Spirit which He is so willing to give to all who desire to know the way of Truth. And while this brings variance and division, it also brings that peace which the world cannot give nor take away, but which enables one to do as Paul say, “In everything give thanks.”
Psalms 5:8
@@@^@@Dear Brethren: @^Since I have received the volumes of the S. R. I have been busy reading them over and over and will continue to do so until I get it all clearly in my head. How I thank God that He has sent so much knowledge through Bro. Houteff. I find no other joy now, but reading on eternal things.
Psalms 6:5
@@@^@@Dear Sister: @^Glad to say that I am rejoicing in this powerful message as a result that God led me to the Charleston church, and I am now back to my former church trying to impart to the flock that which I have learned. Few are fighting it but the majority are studying it. The head officers are standing with me. Please pray that the Lord will enable me to defeat the enemy...
Psalms 7:1
@@@^“As long as I am in the world,” said Jesus, “I am the light of the world.” (John 9:5.) After having opened the blind man’s eyes, and as he beheld the light and recognized its source, those who hated the light and him whose eyes had been opened, “Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?...And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped Him.” (John 9:35, 38.)
Psalms 7:3
@@@^In the lesson of the blind man it appears that so long as he could not see he was retained as a member “in good and regular standing,” but when the saving power of Christ came into his soul and opened his eyes, the rulers of Israel, priests, rabbis, lawyers and teachers almost as a unit declared him unfit for the house of God, a dangerous person to speak to and a menace to society; and as their influence created prejudice, the people became an eminent factor in favor of excommunicating him who once was blind but who could now see.
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.
Psalms 7:7
@@@^There are but two sides in this conflict–you will be either persuaded of men who are led by the devil or else you will acknowledge the saving power of God in the light that is now piercing through the darkness. “Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness.” (Eph. 6:14.) “If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.” (John 9:41.)
Psalms 7:8
@@@^Says the Spirit of God: “On every occasion when persecution takes place, those who witness it make decisions either for Christ or against Him. Those who manifest sympathy for the ones wrongly condemned, show their attachment for Christ. Others are offended because the principles of truth cut directly across their practise.” Hence, “...to secure their own safety, bear false witness, and betray their brethren.”–D.A.630.
Psalms 8:2
@@@^“Christ has warned us of this, that we may not be surprised at the unnatural, cruel course of those who reject the light.” (Id. 630.) And for our encouragement, “These things have I spoken unto you,” said Jesus, “that ye should not be offended. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.” (John 16:1, 2.)
Psalms 10:2
@@@^Note that the slaughter took place in the church, and that because the ministry had betrayed their trust. They rejected the warning and contended against the fulfillment of Ezekiel Nine as a miracle. They said, “The Lord will not manifest His power as in former days” and Inspiration places the blame on them for the sins among God’s people.
Psalms 11:4
@@@^If there is no slaughter before the close of probation, then how do our brethren explain Isaiah 66:16, 19, 20 where it says those who escapes from the slain of the Lord were sent “unto the nations” to declare God’s “glory among the Gentiles” and that those who @9escape@7 from the slaughter “shall bring @9all@7 your brethren...unto the Lord out of @9all@7 nations”?
Proverbs 3:1
@@@^Therefore, outside of these two classes–the workers for training and the worthy poor who need our help–should be out in the field, doing what they can to bring the light of truth to our brothers and sisters throughout the world which is to place the seal of God in our foreheads so that we can escape from the slain of the Lord (Isa. 66:16), and then be sent to a11 nations to bring the second fruits to the house of the Lord (verses 19, 20) and then shall the end come. (Matt. 24:14.).
Proverbs 3:4
@@@^Most of our people are so deeply asleep, and so greatly stupefied that it seems there is nothing that can fully awaken them from the “Laodicean sad deception.” They study the message and admit it to be the truth for this time, rejoice in it and speak it to others, but they do not catch on the points which reprove their own personal sins and carelessness, by which they break both the moral and the physical laws of God.
Proverbs 3:5
@@@^Please restudy the whole message–the two volumes of “The Shepherd’s Rod,” the tracts, and the Code, and try to find out wherein you yourselves are not walking in its blazing light. Then correct the errors at once if you expect to obtain the promises of God. Do not neglect your only duty which should “engross the whole mind, the whole attention” and fit you for His eternal kingdom.
Proverbs 3:6
@@@^Most of our people are sick because they have not as yet learned how to live. Correct your habits. “Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.” (Ezek. 18:31, 32.)
Proverbs 3:7
@@@^You may not understand all there is about it, but that would not excuse you from doing faithfully the little things which you already perfectly know. Start with the A B C’s in the science of reform as you would in a grade school, gradually climbing up the ladder of perfection as you would from the first grade up to a course in a university. As you are unable to understand in the schools of the world the higher grades ahead of the lower, so you will never learn all the science in physiology or the mysteries in the laws of God from its heights down or all at once. Moreover, if you are not willing to do correctly the little things in life, what will it compel you to agonize in prayer for the power you need to accomplish the great thing?
Proverbs 3:8
@@@^No one can successfully be promoted to a higher position until he proves true and proficient in a lower place. Says the apostle Paul: “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” That is, no one can in a haphazard manner do the necessary things of life and yet stand innocent before the Lord. His command is: “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” (Matt. 5:48.)
Proverbs 5:3
@@@^Ans. Though “Early Writings,” p. 71 implies that sinners will remain in the church until after the close of probation, there are other statements which bear the evidence, not by implications but by positive words, that God will have a people as a church “pure and true.” See “The Great Controversy,” p. 425; “Prophets and Kings,” p. 725; “Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 5, p. 80; Isa. 52:1, 2, etc.; then read the December Code, pp. 7-10.
Proverbs 5:4
@@@^There is plenty of proof to show that the church will be purified, and as these proofs are as authentic as “Early Writings,” p. 71 we need not discard all of these as useless while holding fast to what the statement of “Early Writings” may seem to imply as the basis upon which to reject the warning God has sent, but rather harmonize “Early Writings” with all the rest of inspired revelation.
Proverbs 6:5
@@@^Says the Spirit of Prophecy: “The remnant that purify their souls by obeying the truth gather strength from the trying process, exhibiting the beauty of holiness amid the surrounding apostasy...The great issue so near at hand will weed out those whom God has not appointed, and He will have a pure, true, @9sanctified ministry@7 prepared @9for the latter rain@7.” (B–55” 1886.)
