@@@^Take your eyes off Brother Houteff and look unto Jesus through the message He sends. Anyone doubting the message because of Brother Houteff’s marriage, would show not only great weakness, but also that he is following Brother Houteff instead of the message. You should be no more concerned as to what Brother Houteff does, than you are concerned as to what the ancient prophets of the Bible did. Be a student of the message instead of the messenger as you are a student of the Bible, rather a student of the prophets. This is your only safety against being bitterly disappointed in the end.
Jonah 10:11
@@@^Thus “to a great extent children who are to receive an education in our schools, will make far more advancement if separated from the family circle where they have received an erroneous education. It may be necessary for some families to locate where they can board their children and save expense, but in many cases it would prove a hindrance rather than a blessing to their children.” “Having always been indulged and never trained to obedience, it would be greatly for their advantage to be removed from their injudicious parents, @9and placed under as severe regulations and drilling as soldiers in a army@7. Unless something shall be done for these children who have been so sadly neglected by unfaithful parents, they will never be accepted of Jesus; unless some power of control shall be brought to bear upon them, they will be worthless in this life, and will have no part in the future life.”—“Fundamentals of Christian Education,” p. 313; “Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 4, p. 429.
Micah 5:2
@@@^“False doctrine is one of the satanic influences that work in the church, and brings into it those who are unconverted in heart. Men do not obey the words of Jesus Christ, and thus seek for unity in faith, spirit, and doctrine.”—“Testimonies to Ministers,” p. 48.
Micah 8:6
@@@^“The children of these complainers listen with open ears, and receive the poison of disaffection. Parents are thus blindly closing the avenues through which the hearts of the children might be reached. How many families season their daily meals with doubt and questionings. They dissect the characters of their friends, and serve them up as a dainty dessert. A precious bit of slander is passed around the board, to be commented upon, not only by adults, but by children. In this God is dishonored. Jesus said, ‘Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.’ Therefore Christ is slighted and abused by those who slander his servants.
Micah 10:5
@@@^“If parents would place themselves in the position of the teachers, and see how difficult it must necessarily be to manage and discipline a school . . . of students of every grade and class of minds, they might, upon reflection, see things differently. They should consider that some children have never been disciplined at home. Having always been indulged and never trained to obedience, it would be greatly for their advantage to be removed from their injudicious parents, and placed under as severe regulations and drilling as soldiers in an army. Unless something shall be done for these children who have been so sadly neglected by unfaithful parents, they will never be accepted of Jesus; unless some power of control shall be brought to bear upon them, they will be worthless in this life, and will have no part in the future life.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 4, p. 429.
Micah 10:6
@@@^“Entire families are in need of thorough transformation in their habits and ideas before they can be true representatives of Jesus Christ. And to a great extent children who are to receive an education in our schools, will make far more advancement if separated from the family circle where they have received an erroneous education. It may be necessary for some families to locate where they can board their children and save expense, but in many cases it would prove a hindrance rather than a blessing to their children.”—“Fundamentals of Christian Education,” p. 313.
Micah 12:5
@@@^“Let not your unchristlike character misrepresent Jesus. Do not keep the little ones away from Him by your coldness and harshness. Never give them cause to feel that heaven will not be a pleasant place to them if you are there. Do not speak of religion as something that children cannot understand, or act as if they were not expected to accept Christ in their childhood. Do not give them the false impression that the religion of Christ is a religion of gloom, and that in coming to the Saviour they must give up all that makes life joyful.
Micah 12:7
@@@^“The Saviour regards with infinite tenderness the souls whom He has purchased with His own blood. They are the claim of His love. He looks upon them with unutterable longing. His heart is drawn out, not only to the best-behaved children, but to those who have by inheritance objectionable traits of character. Many parents do not understand how much they are responsible for these traits in their children. They have not the tenderness and wisdom to deal with the erring ones whom they have made what they are. But Jesus looks upon these children with pity. He traces from cause to effect.
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.)
Nahum 11:6
@@@^Furthermore, the ancient time piece was regulated by sunset at twelve o’clock, which brought midnight at the sixth hour, thus proving, in the light of preceding facts, that the “sixth hour,” while Jesus was in Pilate’s judgment hall was “about” midnight, and that the sixth hour while He was hanging on the cross, and when the sun was darkened, was about noon.
Nahum 11:7
@@@^Now, if the midnight seizure, the trial before Pilate, the crucifixion, and the burial of Jesus, all took place in one day—Friday, then how could He have been seized in the garden@9 shortly after midnight@7, led from there successively to Annas, to Caiaphas, to the Sanhedrin, and to Pilate, and yet be in Pilate’s judgment hall @9about midnight@7? This utter impossibility alone should convince any one with an understanding mind that these events must necessarily have consumed two days and that any argument supporting the idea that they consumed but one day, is not against the exposition of “The Shepherd’s Rod,” but against the testimonies of Mark and John, who were eye witnesses to these events. Hence, let those who, on this account, lay aside “The Shepherd’s Rod” realize that they are laying aside the Bible.
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 7:8
@@@^“Who are the subjects of the kingdom of God?—All those who do His will. They have righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. The members of Christ’s kingdom are the sons of God, partners in His great firm. The elect of God are a chosen generation, a peculiar people, a holy nation, to show forth the praises of Him Who hath called them out of darkness into His marvelous light. They are the salt of the earth, the light of the world. They are living stones, a royal priesthood. They are in co-partnership with Jesus Christ. These are they that follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth.”—Testimonies to Ministers,” p. 422.
Habakkuk 8:11
@@@^“We need the faith of Abraham in our churches today, to lighten the darkness that gathers around them, shutting out the sweet sunlight of God’s love and dwarfing spiritual growth . . . Our faith should be prolific of good works; for faith without works is dead. Every duty performed, every sacrifice made in the name of Jesus, brings an exceeding great reward. In the very act of duty, God speaks and gives His blessing. But He requires of us an entire surrender of the faculties. The mind and heart, the whole being, must be given to Him, or we fall short of becoming true Christians.”—“Testimonies for the Church.” Vol. 4, p. 145.
Habakkuk 12:2
@@@^“We are repeating the history of that people.” “We have wandered away from the old landmarks.” “Said the angel, ‘Ye have done worse than they.”’ “The church has turned back from following Christ her leader, and is steadily retreating toward Egypt.” “As Jesus views the state of His professed followers today, He sees base ingratitude, hollow formalism, hypocritical insincerity, Pharisaical pride and apostasy.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 5, p. 160; Vol. 1, p. 129; Vol. 5, p. 72.
Zephaniah 2:7
@@@^“Said Christ, ‘How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!’ And His disciples were astonished at His doctrine. When a minister who has labored successfully in securing souls to Jesus Christ, abandons his sacred work in order to secure temporal gain, he is called an apostate, and he will be held accountable to God for the talents that he has misapplied. When men of business, farmers, mechanics, merchants, lawyers, etc., become members of the church, they become servants of Christ; and although their talents may be entirely different, their responsibility to advance the cause of God by personal effort, and with their means, is no less than that which rests upon the minister. The woe which will fall upon the minister if he preach not the gospel will just as surely fall upon the business man, if he, with his different talents, will not be a coworker with Christ in accomplishing the same results. When this is brought home to the individual, some will say, ‘This is a hard saying;’ nevertheless it is true, although continually contradicted by the practice of men who profess to be followers of Christ.
Zephaniah 3:3
@@@^“Persons who thus pledge to their fellowmen, do not generally think of asking to be released from their pledges. A vow made to God, the giver of all favors, is of still greater importance; then why should we seek to be released from our vows to God? Will man consider his promise less binding because made to God? Because his vow will not be put to trial in courts of justice, is it less valid? Will a man who professes to be saved by the blood of the infinite sacrifice of Jesus Christ, ‘rob God’? Are not his vows and his actions weighed in the balances of justice in the heavenly courts?
Zephaniah 3:4
@@@^“Each of us has a case pending in the court of Heaven. Shall our course of conduct balance the evidence against us? The case of Ananias and Sapphira was of the most aggravated character. In keeping back part of the price, they lied to the Holy Ghost. Guilt likewise rests upon every individual in proportion to like offenses. When the hearts of men are softened by the presence of the Spirit of God, they are more susceptible to the impressions of the Holy Spirit, and resolves are made to deny self and to sacrifice for the cause of God. It is when divine light shines into the chambers of the mind with unusual clearness and power, that the feelings of the natural man are overcome, that selfishness loses its power upon the heart, and that desires are awakened to imitate the Pattern, Jesus Christ, in practicing self-denial and benevolence. The disposition of the naturally selfish man then becomes kind and pitiful toward lost sinners, and he makes a solemn pledge to God, as did Abraham and Jacob. Heavenly angels are present on such occasions. The love of God and love for souls triumphs over selfishness and love of the world. Especially is this the case when the speaker, in the Spirit and power of God, presents the plan of redemption laid by the Majesty of Heaven in the sacrifice of the cross. By the following scriptures we may see how God regards the subject of vows:—
Zephaniah 11:6
@@@^Did not Sister White say to those present at a certain conference meeting, “Some food for worms, some subjects of the seven last plagues, some will be alive and remain upon the earth to be translated at the coming of Jesus”? If she made the above quoted statement, then how do you account for it inasmuch as all who were present at that conference are now supposed to be dead? Would not such an eventuation militate against the inspiration of her writings?.
Zephaniah 11:13
@@@^No genuine Christian would dare question the truthfulness of either Christ’s or Paul’s statements, diametrically opposed though they be. At the same time all of us know that the gospel was preached to them all, and that nearly two thousand years have gone by and the Son of man has not yet come. Hence, as Christ’s and Paul’s, also Isaiah’s, statements are no less contradictory than Sister White’s statement, how then can anyone, on exactly the same ground, honestly accept the former and reject the latter? The fact is that those who condemn Sister White, would just as soon condemn the prophets and Jesus Christ if they crossed their path.
