@@@^“Economy in the outlay of means is an excellent branch of Christian wisdom. . . . Money is an excellent gift of God. In the hands of his children it is food for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, and raiment for the naked; it is a defense for the oppressed, and a means of health to the sick. Means should not be needlessly or lavishly expended for the gratification of pride or ambition.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 4, p. 571.
Nahum 10:7
@@@^Although in the one instance the church of God is said to be the bride and in the other instance to be the guests, if we comprehend the lesson which the author is endeavoring to put forth in each publication, we shall find that these statements are correct and Biblical. Only those who are searching for a hook to hang their doubts upon, and who are surface readers and shallow thinkers, can conclude that the one publication contradicts the other, and if they thus conclude concerning these publications, they also might just as well conclude that one part of the Bible contradicts another.
Nahum 12:1
@@@^“I saw all that would not receive the mark of the Beast and of his Image, in their foreheads or in their hands,’ could not buy or sell. I saw that the number (666) of the Image Beast was made up; and that it was the Beast that changed the Sabbath, and the Image Beast had followed on after, and kept the Pope’s, and not God’s Sabbath.”
Nahum 12:3
@@@^“Many mothers who deplore the intemperance which exists everywhere, do not look deep enough to see the cause. They are daily preparing a variety of dishes and highly-seasoned food, which tempt the appetite and encourage overeating. The tables of our American people are generally prepared in a manner to make drunkards. Appetite is the ruling principle with a large class. Whoever will indulge appetite in eating too often, and food not of a healthful quality, is weakening his power to resist the clamors of appetite and passion in other respects in proportion as he has strengthened the propensity to incorrect habits of eating. Mothers need to be impressed with their obligation to God and to the world to furnish society with children having well-developed characters. Men and women who come upon the stage of action with firm principles will be fitted to stand unsullied amid the moral pollutions of this corrupt age. It is the duty of mothers to improve their golden opportunities to correctly educate their children for usefulness and duty. Their time belongs to their children in a special sense. Precious time should not be devoted to needless work upon garments for display, but should be spent in patiently instructing and carefully teaching their children the necessity of self-denial and self-control.
Habakkuk 2:8
@@@^Therefore, Mt. Carmel Center is not worried about taking the institutions, but rather is concerned to effect this long-waited-for reformation. Nevertheless, as it is true that if those connected with these institutions continue to remain as they now are, the Lord has promised that He will “spue” them “out,” then, of course, the institutions which God may see fit to spare will be left to those who “sigh and cry for all the abominations that are done in the midst thereof,” of whom Mt. Carmel’s members are being made up.
Habakkuk 2:9
@@@^As the very nature of the work that is being done by Mt. Carmel calls for a restoration of every divine institution,” and as we are robbed by our “lukewarm” brethren of the use of the denominational institutions, it is imperative that we build on Mt. Carmel many simple, inexpensive buildings to care for the spreading of the message, and for God’s people who need our care.
Habakkuk 2:10
@@@^Mt. Carmel Center believes all that the prophets have told us, and she is committed to the course of carrying out to the letter God’s command in every particular, otherwise there would be no justification for her existence. Hence, those who come in contact with Mt. Carmel’s work, must act quickly, lest they do like the denomination did with the message which came to them in 1888, of which Sister White writes as follows:
Habakkuk 3:3
@@@^“The call to this great and solemn work was presented to men of learning and position; had these been little in their own eyes, and trusted fully in the Lord, He would have honored them with bearing His standard in triumph to the victory. But they separated from God, yielded to the influence of the world, and the Lord rejected them.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 5, p. 82.
Habakkuk 3:9
@@@^“What does God say in regard to His people?—‘But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.’ (See also Isaiah 43.) These are prophecies that will be fulfilled.”—“Testimonies to Ministers,” p. 96.
Habakkuk 4:1
@@@^The very fact that the one hundred and forty-four thousand are to have no guile in their mouths is not only an evidence that they must proclaim the truth and nothing but the truth, but that their language must be free from all unbecoming words. And, if we are to be among this elect company of God’s children, it will be necessary for us to weed out of our speech all the sly innuendos, covert insinuation, expletives, and meaningless words and phrases.—“Education,” p. 236.
Habakkuk 4:3
@@@^As the Lord has called us to prepare for the seal in our foreheads, He has also called us to purify our speech and to be without guile in our mouths, and thus be the “servants of God” in the time of the “loud cry.” Hence, the fact soon became evident that not only the young people at Mt. Carmel needed to study language from “a higher point of view,” but that the older members also were in need of the same instruction. Therefore a special evening class has been organized for the benefit of the adults.
Habakkuk 4:6
@@@^We as candidates for the 144,000, are encouraged, therefore, with the possibility of becoming saints without guile in our mouths. With this sweet prospect before us, why should not every Present Truth believer determine to overcome every besetment, and receive the “seal of God” —and “reflect the image of Jesus fully?”
Habakkuk 4:8
@@@^“The workman for God should make earnest efforts to become a representative of Christ, discarding all uncomely gestures and uncouth speech. He should endeavor to use correct language. There is a large class who are careless in the way they speak, yet by careful, painstaking attention, these may become representatives of the truth. Everyday they should make advancement. They should not detract from their usefulness and influence by cherishing defects of manner, tone, or language. Common, cheap expressions should be replaced by sound, pure words. By constant watchfulness and earnest discipline, the Christian youth may keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking guile.”—“Counsels to Teachers,” p. 238.
Habakkuk 5:2
@@@^The poem, in the first place, was designed primarily as a device to ascertain in a specific way; the zeal which God’s people possess for the studying of the message; and in the second place, whether or not they have yet learned to follow specific orders; and thirdly, whether or not they are all eager to take part in all the activities called forth by the sealing message.
Habakkuk 5:7
@@@^Brother, Sister, where are your faith and your works leading you—inside to the marriage, or outside to disappointment and destruction? Fearful thought! God forbid that it be the latter. May, each quickly take heed to his ways, and “watch, therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.” (Matt. 25:13.)
Habakkuk 5:12
@@@^Hear ye God’s answer to these questions: “And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The Lord will not do good, neither will he do evil. Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation.” (Zeph. 1:12, 13 )
Habakkuk 5:17
@@@^“Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.” (2 Tim. 1:6.) “Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth. Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up, by putting you in remembrance.” (2 Peter 1:12, 13.) These scriptures apply now just as verily as they did in Timothy’s time.
Habakkuk 6:3
@@@^Beloved, are we of those who, “having ears, hear . . . not”? or give we joyful heed to what the True Witness says? If we love the Lord, love the message, love the brethren, love our own souls, will we not give demonstration by neglecting nothing, and by quickly responding to everything, thus showing ourselves approved workmen that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth, thus fitting, ourselves for the great work of God?
