@@@^Another blessed Sabbath day has come to a close, bringing us one more week nearer home! Solemn fact! Does it not compel us to ascertain whether or not during this past week we have made the necessary progress? This searching question leads us to check up on ourselves to find out whether or not we are meeting God’s requirements for His remnant people.
Micah 13:13
@@@^“Do not think that because you do not manifest decided hostility to Christ you are doing Him service. We thus deceive our own souls. By withholding that which God has given us to use in His service, be it time or means or any other of His entrusted gifts, we work against Him.
Micah 14:1
@@@^In closing these lines, I pray that God may bless your every effort to do the right. And “Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and for ever.” (2 Peter 3:17, 18.)
Micah 15:15
@@@^At the conference meetings in Los Angeles in the spring of 1934, it was unanimously adopted that every Friday evening (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 in Present Truth would seek God in behalf of the message, believing that such a concerted voice would lay at Heaven’s altar, in all truth, “the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man (which) availeth much.”
Nahum 2:3
@@@^Although our work and responsibilities this year have increased several times over, yet we thank God for intrusting us with this beautiful flock. However, because Mt. Carmel is yet in the pioneer stage, and because of the lack of necessary facilities, besides the necessary number of men and women who can bear responsibilities, and who themselves are willing to carry the cross of Christ, the work is rather slow and trying as the Code readers will recognize to some extent from the fact that we are two months late in circulating this issue of our news-bearing paper.
Nahum 2:5
@@@^O, I cry aloud to God that He may awaken all Present Truth believers and cause them to see that a mere theoretical knowledge of Present Truth is not sufficient to save their souls from Satan’s claims upon them. Some have scarcely any realization of the magnitude and needs of the work, much less of their own condition. They lack true wisdom and they lack divine judgment. They are not willing to deny themselves of anything either for the sake of their own souls’ salvation or for the sake of the salvation of others’, yet they talk of having a great burden to save other people’s souls, and long to go out and give the message! Let me give here one example of such a sad deception.
Nahum 3:1
@@@^Many of the children who are sent to us for training have been left to grow up as wild horses; yet they would make the finest of teams if they could be tamed and trained to pull ahead. But if we should leave them as they are, then rather than being a blessing, they would be a burden both to themselves and to the cause of God, and they would be unfit to stand with the Lamb on Mt. Zion. Hence, if these children do not become useful workers in Present Truth, our time, the Lord’s means, and their souls, will be forever wasted, and their fall will be more than a disaster.
Nahum 3:2
@@@^Had the parents, themselves, in the training of their children, been converted to God’s plan, the task would not now be half so hard. But now, without the parents’ fullest cooperation with the school, and without confessing to their children, their unwise course in rearing them, it is as impossible for us to wean them away from their old traits and insubordination, and win them to a life of purity and obedience and thus to usefulness, as it is to change the zebra from its wild idle life to the life of a well trained and gentle horse.
Nahum 3:6
@@@^“Let all share the expense. Let the church see that those who ought to receive its benefits are attending the school. Poor families should be assisted. We cannot call ourselves true missionaries if we neglect those at our very doors, who are at the most critical age, and who need our aid to secure knowledge and experience that will fit them for the service of God.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 6, p. 217.
Nahum 3:7
@@@^The offerings received have amounted to but little over the cost of The Symbolic Code, but not to near enough to cover the cost of the rest of the free literature that is being used. And now we must look after these children too. Hence, what will you brothers and sisters do for God’s heritage with which He has now intrusted you to keep and to care for?
Nahum 3:8
@@@^“Every man and woman in our ranks, whether a parent or not, ought to be intensely interested in the Lord’s vineyard. We cannot afford to allow our children to drift away into the world and to fall under the control of the enemy. Let us come up to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the mighty. Let us do all in our power to make our schools a blessing to our youth. Teachers and students, you can do much to bring this about by wearing the yoke of Christ, daily learning of Him His meekness and lowliness. Those who are not directly connected with the school can help to make it a blessing by giving it their hearty support. Thus we shall all be ‘laborers together with God,’ and receive the reward of the faithful, even an entrance into the school above.”—“Counsels to Teachers,” p. 210.
Nahum 3:11
@@@^As Elijah’s message is sent to the church, it is to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers in the church, Hence, the Elijah message is to create in the family relationship a new love—not the sentimental love which drags either the children or the parents to the world rather than drawing them to God, but the true love which will win one another from the world to the Lord. The so-called love which ultimately leads either the one or the other to go wrong, is the kind to be repented of and replaced with a saving love which always leads away from rebellion and to obedience.
Nahum 4:4
@@@^Parents, if your mind is too dull to comprehend what God expects of you as is presented in this appeal, remember this one thing, that every word which you speak into the ears of another, against the institution, is pulling both you and your hearer away from the sheep-fold into everlasting ruin.
Nahum 5:3
@@@^I know that there are things in your life that will be like pulling teeth to get rid of, but God stands ready to help you if you will let Him, and those things will eventually drag you down so low that what manhood you have will revolt even at the thought of it, so while you are young, and before any of the bad things of life fasten and grow on you as a part of you, get loose from them. You have a wonderful opportunity to do it now, there where others are doing the same thing.
Nahum 6:2
@@@^We most heartily thank our brethren who were so kind and willing to do everything for us, and are praying that God may bless each of them, and help them to stand firmly for the sealing message so that all of them shall be counted in that most glorious number, the 144,000.
Nahum 6:5
@@@^“These words spake Jesus, and lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee: as Thou hast given Him power over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as Thou hast given Him. And this is life eternal, that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, Whom Thou hast sent. I pray not that Thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that Thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy Word is truth. As thou hast sent Me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on Me through their word; that they all may be one; as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in Us: that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me. And the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as We are one: I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me. Father, I will that they also, whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am; that they may behold My glory, which Thou hast given Me: for Thou lovedst Me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, the world hath not known Thee: but I have known Thee, and these have known that Thou hast sent Me. And I have declared unto them Thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith Thou hast loved Me may be in them, and I in them.” (John 17:1, 3, 15-26.)
Nahum 6:6
@@@^Last Sabbath, in the regular Sabbath School hour, Elder ———— taught the commandments, stressing the point that when we break one we break them all, and perhaps he was sincere. Nevertheless, in the preaching service immediately following Sabbath School, he told us that there is a class of people who are teaching that they are preparing swords to cut down God’s people, and who are trying to tear down everything the ministers are doing.
Nahum 7:3
@@@^I am enclosing my first tithe to you, and I must tell you what urged me to do this so soon. After many prayers and after hearing what was said at the camp meeting, I am sure that God will not be pleased if I continue sending my tithe to shepherds who unite with the world and who receive its support by departing from Christ.
Nahum 7:4
@@@^While at the S.D.A. senior Sabbath class, Brother Q. asked the Elder to read something from the Testimonies, and as he protested, I wanted to know what it was about. Then Brother Q. passed the copy to me, but Elder —— took it from me and returned it to Brother Q. So God opened my eyes that Satan is working in the church. The Elder, while trembling as if ready to eject Brother Q. out of the church, instructed him not to read the testimonies in the Sabbath School. At that time I knew nothing of “The Shepherd’s Rod,” but after the class was dismissed, I made it my point to talk to the Elder, and he informed me that Brother Q. is a SRod man, and not a member of the church, and that if he would want to study with me I should refuse to listen to him.
Nahum 7:12
@@@^I have been wanting to write a letter for some time, but I am so new in “the Seventh-day Adventist church” and “Present Truth” that I have been hesitant to write. However, I am learning fast, and I know “the Dear Lord” is with me. And I thank Him every day of my life that He has seen fit to call me into this “Present Truth” message of today. It is so wonderful, and I would like to study it all day long if it were possible. I am truly thankful for what God has done for me, and I am trying to give the message as I go on with my studies. @3(Signed) Ida E. Rainey,@4Portland, Ore.
