Page 8 of 19Jonah 16:6
@@@^This monthly comforter gladly calls on all S.D.A.’s who open their doors and welcome its presence. It freely gives its time to minister to those who shall be heirs of salvation, and neither collects fees nor makes charges for its unselfish service; it lives on free-will contributions, burdening none and comforting all. Its constant prayer is that all its readers shall prosper and be in good health even as their souls prospereth. (3 John 2.)
Micah 3:2
@@@^Furthermore, although “The Shepherd’s Rod” gives a clear explanation of the beasts of Revelation 13 and 17, and by its light on these symbols adds power and force to the Third Angel’s Message, yet you are determined to war against it from the pulpit and by the printed page, while holding to an interpretation of the beasts, which adds nothing to the message and which, therefore, as far as anyone’s salvation is concerned, is of no consequence, thus making no difference at all whether or not anyone knows, accepts, or rejects it.

Habakkuk 7:4
@@@^Hence, if this glorious pictorial representation, portraying the grand finale of the plan of salvation, which none but the Master Artist, Himself, could do, has thus ceasely challenged and inspired time’s reverential thousands to whom its truth must needs then have remained the better part a mystery, what dynamic inspiration, then, yea, and exulting, holy, transporting joy, should it afford us, “the elect of God,” who are now privileged to behold the Divine Hand gradually drawing away the veil of mystery, and thus identifying us as that immortal company—the 144,000, the ineffable privilege of being one of which has ever been the hopeless wish of the Christian!
Habakkuk 10:1
@@@^“Therefore, we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward; how shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?” (Heb. 2:1-3.)
Habakkuk 11:9
@@@^While being entertained in the home of one of our Union Conference Presidents about three years ago, I asked him this question: “Elder ——, what would you do if you believed with all your heart that the Lord has given you a message for the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and that the destiny of the church depended on the acceptance or rejection of said message; and that your own soul’s salvation depended upon your faithfulness in proclaiming it?” The answer of this brother was, “I do not know.” I replied: “The difference between you and me is that I do know, and that is why I am giving my life to the proclamation of this unpopular message of “The Shepherd’s Rod,” which is none other than the Message of the True Witness to the church of the Laodiceans.—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 3, p. 253.
Haggai 9:11
@@@^“ ‘This is the will of God concerning human beings, even their sanctification. In urging our way upward, heavenward, every faculty must be kept in the most healthy condition, prepared to do faithful service. The powers with which God has endowed man are to be put to the stretch. . . . Man cannot possibly do this of himself; he must have divine aid. @9What part is the human agent to act@7?— ‘Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do His good pleasure.’ Phil. 2:12, 13.”—Id., p. 64.
Zechariah 7:9
@@@^“Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward; how shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?” (Heb. 2:1-3.) “Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; Who was faithful to Him that appointed Him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. And to whom sware He that they should not enter into His rest, but to them that believed not? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.” (Heb. 3:1, 2, 18, 19.) “Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into His rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.” (Heb. 4:1.) “Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stead fast unto the end; while it is said, Today if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. But with whom was He grieved forty years? Was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?” (Heb. 3:12-17.)
Zechariah 12:7
@@@^“It is the purpose of God that His children shall blend in unity. Do they not expect to live together in the same heaven? Is Christ divided against Himself? Will He give His people success before they sweep away the rubbish of evil-surmising and discord, before the laborers, with unity of purpose, devote heart and mind and strength to the work so holy in God’s sight? Union brings strength; disunion weakness. United with one another, working together in harmony for the salvation of men, we shall indeed be ‘laborers together with God.’ Those who refuse to work in harmony greatly dishonor God. The enemy of souls delights to see them working at cross purposes with one another. Such ones need to cultivate brotherly love and tenderness of heart. If they could draw aside the curtain veiling the future, and see the result of their disunion, they would surely be led to repent.
Zechariah 12:9
@@@^“After the descent of the Holy Spirit, the disciples went forth to proclaim a risen Saviour, their one desire the salvation of souls. They rejoiced in the sweetness of the communion with saints. They were tender, thoughtful, self-denying, willing to make any sacrifice for the truth’s sake . . .
Malachi 2:5
@@@^Moreover, the Spirit of Prophecy says: “As Jesus was rejected, so I saw that these messages have been rejected. And as the disciples declared that there is salvation in no other name under heaven, given among men, so, also, should the servants of God faithfully and fearlessly warn those who embrace but a part of the truths connected with the third message, that they must gladly receive all the messages as God has given them, or have no part in the matter.”—“Early Writings,” pp. 188, 189.
Malachi 3:8
@@@^“Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. For the son dishonoreth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.” Therefore, let us say with the wise,” I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me,” and I will strictly follow only the published messages sent to me. (Mic. 7:5, 6, 7.) .)
Malachi 3:9
@@@^Let us exclaim from the depth of oar heart: “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of Him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!” (Isa. 52:7.) .)
Matthew 5:9
@@@^Yet confirming themselves, by every means possible, in this sophistic idea, they ardently and tenaciously continue to cling to it, with increasing detriment to themselves and their children now, and to the inevitable undoing of both ultimately. But the words of Christ which they use as a cloak of white for their off-color ideas, rather than being justification for allowing children “just to grow up naturally,” uninhibited and unrepressed, is on the contrary a profound appeal for strict discipline which, in the last analysis, is but salvation—the supreme gift, the pearl of great price, which He gives to all who come unto Him..
Mark 10:4
@@@^As the figures in these reports show that we have not lost a dollar of our gifts, but rather have multiplied them, we hope that we have not by neglect lost a soul that could have been saved. Our hearts are sad, however, when we think of the brethren who are kept in darkness simply because the denominational ministry has barred the sealing message from them, and because contrary to the will of God (Jer. 6:16; 1 John 4:1), they are foolish enough to commit their salvation to mortal men (specifically to the ministry), listening to their tirade against the message, while the ministers themselves, having been forbidden to read Present Truth literature or to listen to Present Truth message-bearers, hardly know anything about it! Moreover, these shepherds, whose religious liberty is taken away from them, forbid the laity’s investigating for themselves. Hence, as the greater part of both ministry and laity fear either the sacrifice they must make,—departing from all worldlings and worldliness, or the reproach of being cast out,—they are therefore perfectly willing to close their ears to the Voice of Christ while having them wide open to the voice of men, entirely trusting to what the conference presidents say, as though the ministers and the laity were senseless, unable either to think or to reason for themselves. Thus they are blindly giving consent to suggestions and commands of men, laying down all their God-given ability of judging for themselves, with the consequence that when they hear a voice, they need someone to tell them whether it is the voice of the Good Shepherd, or of the “roaring lion.” What a pity! May he Lord have mercy on them, and some way, somehow, rescue them from their lukewarm (satisfied) condition, by helping them to see that they are “wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked” (Laodicean), for they certainly see not their plight. May they hear the Voice of the True Witness and be healed, is our earnest prayer.
Mark 12:4
@@@^In contrast to the statement of Luke 18:8 are the words of Isaiah: “For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. And the Gentiles shall see they righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name. Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the Lord delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. . . . And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the Lord: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.” Isa. 62:1-4, 12. “And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in My wrath I smote thee, but in My favour have I had mercy on thee. Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought;” Isa. 60:10, 11.
Mark 13:7
@@@^Let us remember that these figurative terms are used only as illustrations of our salvation and of our connection with Heaven. In one instance, for example, the setting up of the kingdom is illustrated by the “harvest”; the subjects of the kingdom, by the “wheat;” and the kingdom itself, by the “barn” Matt. 13:30. In another instance, the setting up of the kingdom is illustrated by the angels drawing to shore “the net,” and then by their sitting down, gathering from it the good (fish), and putting them into “vessels” (Matt. 13:48); the subjects of the kingdom, by the good fish; and the kingdom itself, by the “vessels.”
Mark 15:1
@@@^A great many confine their missionary efforts to the propagation of the doctrines and the prophecies of the Message, while Christ and the Gospel of salvation are either entirely left out, or are only occasionally mentioned as hardly more than matter of history. The result is that to those who receive such a devitalized message, Christ has not become the Minister of circumcision of the heart (Rom. 15:8; Rom. 2:29), that the body of sin might be destroyed, and that henceforth they should not serve sin in the lusts thereof (Rom. 6:6-8). Such emasculated missionary work is what brings tares into the church, and of such work the Lord says: “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him two-fold more the child of hell than yourselves.” Matt. 23:15.
