Page 31 of 56Malachi 12:16
@@@^Thus, brethren, is the reason why the Code is not making its scheduled monthly appearance, and why we are not writing and visiting you at more frequent intervals. Therefore we appeal to all Present Truth believers to cry aloud to God for faithful laborers for the harvest is ripe, but the laborers are few .
Matthew 4:1
@@@^“If the parents or guardian of each student would faithfully cut out every unnecessary expense, placing to the student’s school expenses the amount thus saved; and if all other believers, assuming their share of responsibility, would do likewise, we would not now be operating the Academy at a monthly loss, which necessarily handicaps the other departments of the work.”—“The Symbolic Code,” Vol. 3, Nos. 3, 4, p. 9.
Matthew 5:3
@@@^Brother, Sister, will you have these blessings, and will you have God’s school to endure and prosper, fulfilling its high and holy purpose as “a sanctuary for the sorely tried youth of today?” If you will, you must meet the conditions, which God has made beautifully simple, and with which even the little children at Mt. Carmel are joyfully complying; and which are that every present truth believer now respond to God’s requirement that each give the school the fullest cooperation by bringing into the storehouse, not only tithe and offerings, but also a faithful @9second tithe@7. . . . Furthermore, if in cheerful obedience you will thus render to God His own, unselfish liberality, will not only put His school on a solid financial basis, but will throw you, too, as it did the early church,” into a transport of joy”!
Matthew 6:2
@@@^Clearly, then, truly to suffer and forbid not children to come unto Christ, is to discipline them by precept and example to unfailing obedience to God’s requirements,—“to every word that proceedeth out of His mouth,”—“till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the son of God, a @9perfect man,@7 unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.” Eph. 4:13.
Matthew 6:4
@@@^With both parents and children thus faithfully walking in the light and diligently working in Christ’s line,—exchanging their ideas and theories, habits and practices for that which is written; disciplining themselves in self-abnegation, self-control, and self-denial,—with all thus striving, the message might soon reach the church, the Loud Cry be given, the kingdom set up, and the endless ages of joy and peace and happiness ushered in.
Matthew 8:6
@@@^“It has been my misfortune to be away from Mt. Carmel since the fourteenth day of the month of September. All my interest, my hopes, in fact, my very life, are centered there. My all-consuming desire is to be permitted to return. Whatever my mistakes have been, I pray that I will be forgiven them, and that I may resume my work there. And whatever the work assigned to me, I will perform it faithfully, esteeming myself as honored by my heavenly Father.
Matthew 9:13
@@@^At the first, your only doubt in the doctrines of the message was, to my knowledge, concerning the doctrine of the kingdom, in regard to which subject you had but indirectly heard that a study had been given, though it had not yet been published. However, your last letter to me reveals that you are now questioning something in every publication. Of course, I am not at all surprised at this, for past church history, also my own experience in the message, has taught me that when one begins entertaining doubt on one point of faith, one eventually goes back even on points which one has long defended as positive truths, and finally, in many instances, gives up the entire truth.
Matthew 10:9
@@@^Moreover, though it was “The Shepherd’s Rod,” and not any light of your own, that reconverted you to “The Spirit of Prophecy,” yet you imply that you no longer need the help of inspired writings, when you say, “My purpose in writing this is not to ‘criticize’ and ‘find fault’ with the ‘butter and honey’ or with anyone personally, but that we may @9individually@7 partake of this ‘butter and honey’ and refuse the evil and choose the good until we come into the unity of the faith.”
Matthew 15:3
@@@^Now as the tenth year of the message fleets on into the unreturning past, again in deepest bereavement, this time, for Brother Eugene Soper Lipsey, goes forth the Code, announcing that another of the faithful has gone to his rest inside Carmel’s own cemetery, “solitarily in the woods”, waiting for the resurrection morn.
Matthew 16:15
@@@^In July of 1936, a year after the building work of Mt. Carmel had begun, Brother Lipsey came to assist us here, and has worked in almost all the departments in the last three years. Faithful in whatever department to which he was assigned, zealous as a student of the Bible, apt to teach, honest in all things, Brother Lipsey’s religion was very sincere.
Mark 12:6
@@@^As these scriptures, along with others, refute the idea that when Christ comes the second time there will be found hardly any faithful ones, the student of the Word can only conclude that such an inference, derived from Luke 18:8, is a false one. Hence the statement, “When the Son of man cometh,” in order to harmonize with other passages of Scripture, must be applied to a coming other than that to which it is commonly understood to apply.
Mark 15:4
@@@^Today there are many who know all the doctrines of our faith, and who are even able to defend them against any opposition. They profess to be God’s commandment keeping people, but are altogether unacquainted with Jesus Christ. Many who have been in the church for years have never experienced John 3:16 or Rom. 5:1-5.
Mark 15:12
@@@^“The ministers have not presented Christ in His fulness to the people, either in the churches or in the new fields; and the people have not an intelligent faith. They have not been instructed as they should have been, that Christ is unto them both salvation and righteousness.”—“Christ Our Righteousness,” p.111.
John 2:6
@@@^Thus one who lives righteously by faith obtains an eternal reward; whereas “the wicked” falls “into mischief,” and like the praying Pharisee, thinking himself to be righteous, characteristically says: “God, I thank thee that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.” Luke 18:11.
John 2:7
@@@^We now live the life of Christ by faith; but in the kingdom—the substance of our hope—where “the evidence of things” @9is@7 seen, we shall live by sight, “for now we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face.” I Cor. 13:12. The life which we now live is a battle and a march; a defeat and a victory; a struggle to overcome. This daily battle between the Spirit of God and the spirit of man, the apostle Paul sets forth, as follows:
John 3:2
@@@^Certain it is that what we by nature want is not what we really need. Likewise, that which we by nature aim to do, is not what we really need to do. In obtaining righteousness by faith, therefore, we choose to follow the opposite of our carnal minds and our natural desires and wants.
John 5:2
@@@^We are happy to assure you that through God’s great mercy, along with your faithful cooperation, the work is steadily advancing. We are confident, however, that you, like us, are not satisfied to continue at the same pace. Therefore, we must pray and labor without ceasing, to make 1941 the year of years—ten in one. This goal ought to engross the whole mind, the whole attention. And let no one be so foolish as to attempt in any way to silence the heralds of the kingdom, for even should they be silenced, then the very stones would cry out.
John 8:16
@@@^“I received Vol. 1 of SRod in 1930. When I read it, I believed it was a message from God to me. It found me sound asleep, and awakened me to my spiritual condition. I discovered that I was in need of everything. I accepted Vol. 1 100%, then Vol. 2 came, and that increased my faith in the message; and so with all the tracts following them. Now I am rejoicing in the Light that this wonderful message has brought to me. It grows brighter every day, and I thank the Lord for it, for it means everything to me. @3R. A. Boynton@3Austell, Georgia
John 9:2
@@@^“Since I have found the SRod, I thank my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ more than ever for His living mercy in shedding His atoning blood for a vile sinner like me. O how wonderful the plan of redemption, as we now more clearly see it in this message of truth! It is my sincere aim to be faithful to the end (Matt. 24:13) because he died for me and has laid up for me a crown of Life.” @3B. L. Cockram@3Meadows of Dan, Virginia
John 9:3
@@@^“About ten years ago the Spirit of God revealed this glorious Present Truth message to me, and I realized then, as also now, that I must obey ‘The Still Small Voice’ which speaks to my heart, and points the way. Although the enemy has cast his shadow across my path many times in the past years, God has brought me safely through, and my heart is filled with joy in the Message. Pray for me that I may be faithful, and be found worthy to ‘stand on Mt. Zion with the Lamb.’ ” @3Mrs. E. Crawford@3Glendale, California
