@@@^“Those who understand the laws of health and who are governed by principle, will shun the extremes, both of indulgence and restriction. Their diet is chosen, not for the mere gratification of appetite, but for the upbuilding of the body. They seek to preserve every power in the best condition for the highest service to God and man. The appetite is under the control of reason and conscience, and they are rewarded with health of body and mind. While they do not urge their views offensively upon others, their example is a testimony in favor of right principles. These persons have a wide influence for good.”—“Ministry of Healing,” p. 319.
Hosea 2:5
@@@^In the New Testament, we find the Apostle Paul, a man who always desired to attain to greater heights, realizing upon taking a retrospect of his pre-christian, or early life’s labors, that they were not satisfactory either to himself or the Master Worker, declaring emphatically, “I determined not to know any thing among you,save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.” As the burden of the work rests more and more heavily upon this veteran soldier of the cross, and as he realizes that there are still higher standards for him to reach, and as he desires not to be considered boastful, he humbly confesses that “I count not myself to have apprehended,” after which he bursts forth in strains of holy zeal and eloquence,born of deep earnestness, resolving unto himself that “this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Then follows His admonition to the brethren, which clearly shows that those who were “thus minded” were to “walk by the same rule”, being “followers together of ” Paul in this determined purpose to make the future better than the past.
Hosea 2:7
@@@^At the midweek prayer meeting, all present were of one mind, reaffirming their Sabbath decision to take an advanced step in the Christian life, and to encourage all our brethren by a resolution setting forth our determined purpose, under God, for the coming year, to drive on to the same end. Hence, all agreed that be it Mt. Carmel’s New Year’s Resolution:
Hosea 2:8
@@@^“That we, the residents of Mt. Carmel Center, solemnly covenant with our loving heavenly Father, and with one another,that, by God’s help, we will make the year 1937 better than the one just past, by “talking less and praying more,” and by learning to be more “kind and courteous and tender- hearted and pitiful,” one toward the other, and that when speaking of our brethren,we will take as our motto, in the words of Paul, that supreme and sublime injunction:“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are @9true@7, whatsoever things are @9honest@7,whatsoever things are @9just@7, whatsoever things are @9pure@7, whatsoever things are @9lovely@7,whatsoever things are of @9good report@7; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise,@9 think on these things@7.”
Hosea 2:9
@@@^In making the above resolution, we were mindful of what the servant of the Lord wrote to her son on his birthday, calling his attention to the fact that no resolution made and undertaken in his own strength would avail anything. The letter admonishes in part: “Your resolutions may be good and sincere, but they will prove a failure unless you make God your strength, and move forward with a firm determination of purpose.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 2, p. 262.
Hosea 3:2
@@@^“I hereby solemnly promise, with the help of God, to abstain from the use of intoxicating liquors as a beverage (including wines, malt liquors and cider), and to use all proper means to discourage the sale and use of the same.”—“Ministry of Healing,” p.170.
Hosea 3:3
@@@^We thank God that He brought us years ago into the Seventh-day Adventist church, and that the beautiful principles of CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE AND BIBLE HYGIENE have brought us to a higher standard, so that now no one on Mt. Carmel need sign the pledge, which our fathers signed nearly 100 years ago.
Hosea 3:7
@@@^As we visit our people from time to time, our heart is cheered to see new faces among those who have been drawn by the Holy Spirit to investigate the message contained in “The Shepherd’s Rod,” and their ringing testimony usually runs as follows: “How happy I am that God has at last, by the message to the Laodiceans, visited His people in mercy, and though it be a ‘startling denunciation,’ it does bring to us good cheer because it is indeed a ‘door of hope’ for us ‘lukewarm’ S. D. A’s.”
Hosea 3:8
@@@^While our spirits weep to see our dear people in the clutches of the devil, yet they immediately revive when we remember that the Lord has among us as a people one hundred and forty-four thousand, who will be found without guile in their mouths, and who will stand without a single fault before Him, “being the firstfruits” of those who shall be “clad in the armor of Christ’s righteousness,” and who will be permitted to go “into all the world” for the final harvest. Indications are that there will be from the east many who will respond to the call of God to help “raise up the tribes of Jacob,” and thus be privileged to be “a light to the Gentiles,” and finally His “salvation unto the end of the earth.”—Isaiah 49:6.
Hosea 3:9
@@@^This glorious present truth message is also finding its way among the colored people in the east, and they are determined to allow it to do for them, what God designs that it should. Thus a real reformation has already begun with these dear children of the Lord, evidencing the fact that the Lord is demonstrating that the worth-while things are indeed “hid from the wise and prudent,” but are “revealed to babes.”
Hosea 3:11
@@@^In closing these lines, we wish to express our appreciation for the many blessings of our heavenly Father, and assure those at Mt. Carmel that we are joining them in earnest prayer to the end that it may become a real haven of rest for the aged and infirm among us, and a training center for the young, and a demonstration to the whole Universe that God does have a message which will bind together the rich and poor, free and bond of every race, language, color, and caste of this old sin-cursed earth. @2Yours to “follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth,”@3(Signed) E. T. WILSON.
Hosea 4:4
@@@^“Among many of the professing followers of Christ, there is the same pride, formalism, and selfishness, the same spirit of oppression, that held so large a place in the Jewish heart. In the future, men claiming to be Christ’s representatives will take a course similar to that followed by the priests and rulers in their treatment of Christ and the apostles. In the great crisis through which they are soon to pass, the faithful servants of God will encounter the same hardness of heart, the same cruel determination, the same unyielding hatred.”—“Acts of the Apostles,” p. 431.
Hosea 5:2
@@@^Others come to our meetings only to ask questions irrelevant to the subject, breaking right into the middle of a study and throwing it out of order, while on the contrary, we are not permitted to say anything, or to speak to any one on the church premises. But we are not discouraged, for we know that God’s sheep will recognize His voice when they hear Him call.
Hosea 6:4
@@@^No one has to study another’s writings, but they need to understand the Bible, for the Word of God is their very life. However, as the Scriptures are of no private interpretation (2 Peter 1:20, 21), but by Inspiration only, which is evidenced by the fact that no one has ever of himself been able to discover any sealed or hidden Biblical truth, it is unavoidably necessary to study the Bible by the help of inspired commentaries, as the believers of the early Christian church studied the writings of the apostles in order to understand the Bible for their time.
Hosea 6:5
@@@^Moreover, John 14:26 does not say that we can, of ourselves, discover the hidden truths of the Bible, but, on the contrary,that we should wait for the Spirit of Truth to come to teach us, which teaching is called Inspiration. Still further, if S. D. A.’s can study the Bible by themselves, without the help of others, then why not others, who also have the Bible, do the same? And, if they can, then where is the need of the ministry, missionaries, and the printed page? Has God especially favored us because we call ourselves S. D. A.’s? Furthermore, it is the writings of Sister White that founded the S. D. A. denomination, for all the truths which we claim to know, and which other denominations do not, came through her writings.
Hosea 6:12
@@@^The parable narrated in the above mentioned verses must meet its fulfillment in the period when God takes the “reins in His own hands,” manifests His great power among the nations, and separates His people from among the wicked; for at that time He gathers all nations before Him, separates them “one from another” as “sheep and goats,” and sets the one on His right and the other on His left. Hence, both the foregoing scripture and that of Revelation 18:4, where it says, “Come out of her My people,” must transpire at the same time—@9from@7 the “closing work for the church,” @9and during@7 the closing work for the world to the second coming of Christ; that is, the @9separation@7 between the sheep and goats takes place before the close of probation, whereas the condemnation of the class symbolized as “goats” among the second fruits, takes place after the close of probation, and culminates with Christ’s visible second appearing. Thus Matthew 25:31-46 transpires in the period from the fulfillment of Ezekiel Nine to the second coming of Christ.
Hosea 7:1
@@@^Evidently the questioner has not carefully studied this subject. “The Shepherd’s Rod” explains that there are two siftings—one for the “first fruits”—the 144,000—and the other for the second fruits—the great multitude. The former sifting is in the S. D. A. denomination, and is accomplished by casting out the bad @9from among the good@7 (Matt. 13:48); the latter sifting takes place in the world, and is accomplished by calling God’s people out@9 from among the bad. @7(Rev. 18:4).
Hosea 7:5
@@@^“The ‘Review and Herald,’ July 2, 1936, pp. 7, 8, under the article, ‘First Fruits and the Harvest,’ says: ‘This multitude of captives, raised at Christ’s resurrection, represented the ‘great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues’ (Revelation 7:9), of whom we read: ‘He [Christ] presents to God the wave sheaf,—those raised with Him as representatives of that great multitude who shall come forth from the grave at His second coming.’—‘The Desire of Ages, ‘ p. 834.
Hosea 8:2
@@@^“Please give us light on the following testimony: ‘O that the people might know the time of their visitation! . . . The time of God’s destructive judgments is the time of mercy for those who have had no opportunity to learn what is truth. Tenderly will the Lord look upon them. His heart of mercy is touched; His hand is still stretched out to save, while the door is closed to those who would not enter.’—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 9, p. 97.”
Hosea 8:3
@@@^The above testimony shows that God is to manifest His “destructive judgments” before the close of probation, for at that time He will be merciful to those who “have had no opportunity to learn what is truth, . . . His hand is still stretched out to save.” Moreover, it also proves that at the same time, “the doors” (probation), had closed “to those who would not enter.”
