@@@^That God may help every one of us so to live that when the “evil” falls “in the latter days” (Deut. 31:29), we shall be among those who have their names in the Lamb’s book of life, and who shall be delivered from the judgments of God and from the sword of the wicked, is my sincere prayer.— @3Mrs. S. Hermanson
Jonah 14:6
@@@^The Lord helped me in my search for truth, and led me to join the S. D. A. church. After reading Sister White’s message on “God calls for a spiritual revival and a spiritual reformation,” I knew that God would soon start a reformation in the S. D. A. Denomination.
Jonah 14:7
@@@^Then sometime ago, a brother from———— lent me Volume One of “The Shepherd’s Rod,” which, though I read considerably, I did not at the time realize to be the voice of God to me. But tract No. 2, showing God’s changing the leadership, convinced me of the truth of “The Shepherd’s Rod,” and now I am convinced on all points of this message and am fully satisfied that it is Present Truth.
Micah 2:1
@@@^@@Dear Brethren:@^Seven years have gone by since “The Shepherd’s Rod” message began to come, during which time you have bitterly fought its advancement. Seven years’ time should be sufficient for any of you to have discerned that you have been fighting in vain as far as your stopping the progress of the message is concerned. Moreover, you should by this time know that you have been fighting against your own life and against God, Who is trying to save you. Therefore, I must do my best to show you herein that in your oft repeated attempt to retard or stop the work of Present Truth, you have completely failed, and that for this fact you ought to praise God, for had you succeeded in your foolish aim, you would have completely cut yourselves off from His saving arm.
Micah 5:1
@@@^“The present attitude of the church is not pleasing to God. There has come in a self-confidence that has led them to feel no necessity for more truth and greater light. We are living at a time when Satan is at work on the right hand and on the left, before and behind us; and yet as a people we are asleep. God wills that a voice shall be heard arousing his people to action.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 5, p. 709.
Micah 6:6
@@@^“Finite man is likely to misjudge character, but God does not leave the work of judgment and pronouncing upon character to those who are not fitted for it. We are not to say what constitutes the wheat, and what the tares. The time of the harvest will fully determine the character of the two classes specified under the figure of the tares and the wheat. The work of separation is given to the angels of God, and not committed into the hands of any man.”—“Testimonies to Ministers,” p. 47.
Micah 6:12
@@@^Realizing, with a realization second only to that of God’s, that the home and the family are the basic unit of human society, and that therefore as rocks the cradle, rocks the world, Satan set about early in the long ago to manipulate control of both the hands that hold the crib and those that hold the reins of the home; until at last he has so well succeeded at his work that today the Word of God must make the sad confession that “Children are often indulged from their babyhood, and wrong habits become fixed” (“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 4, p. 368), and that “Satan has succeeded wonderfully in his plans.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 4, p. 203.
Micah 8:7
@@@^“The names of God’s chosen servants have been handled with disrespect, and in some cases with absolute contempt, by certain persons whose duty it is to uphold them. The children have not failed to hear the disrespectful remarks of their parents in reference to the solemn reproofs and warnings of God’s servants. They have understood the scornful jests and depreciatory speeches that from time to time have met their ears, and the tendency has been to bring sacred and eternal interests, in their minds, on a level with the common affairs of the world. What a work are these parents doing in making infidels of their children even in their childhood! This is the way that children are taught to be irreverent, and to rebel against Heaven’s reproof of sin.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 4, pp. 194-195.
Micah 12:13
@@@^Those who are working with the expectation of receiving from the office pay, as reward for their labors, are not working for Christ, but rather for themselves. As we labor for Christ, our uppermost thoughts should be the saving of souls, expecting to receive from the “Householder,” when “even comes,” our “penny,” or wages. According to the parable in Matthew 20, the laborers whom the Master hires go out to labor, not knowing what they are to receive at day’s end. If the message of “The Shepherd’s Rod” is of God, then His laborers better learn that the work is to be carried out altogether in God’s, not man’s, way.
Micah 13:12
@@@^“The promise of obedience they appear to fulfil when this involves no sacrifice; but when self-denial and self-sacrifice are required, when they see the cross to be lifted, they draw back. Thus the conviction of duty wears away, and known transgression of God’s commandments becomes habit. The ear may hear God’s word, but the spiritual perceptive powers have departed. The heart is hardened, the conscience seared.
Micah 13:16
@@@^This being profoundly true, dear friends, will you not at once, if you have not yet done so, put on the empty harness that lies near you, and do your part to pull the chariot up the incline, no matter how steep it may be? “We must clear the King’s highway; for God will remove hindrances out of the way. God calls you to come up to His help against the mighty. Instead of pressing your weight against the chariot of truth that is being pulled up an inclined road, you should work with all the energy you can summon to push it on.”
Micah 15:3
@@@^And as we pray and sing in the spirit and with understanding (1 Cor. 14:15), our songs will express the truths and experiences of the message, of Present Truth, and then we shall see that “the temple of God is opened in heaven, and the threshold flushed with the glory which is for every church that will love God and keep His commandments. . . . Then we shall have spiritual eyesight to discern the inner courts of the celestial temple. We shall catch the themes of song and thanksgiving of the heavenly choir round about the throne.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 6, p. 368.
Nahum 3:5
@@@^God has placed us under obligation to assume full support of the children whose parents are unable to care for them. Thus these children are adopted to the household of all Present Truth believers who have no children of their own. Therefore, none into whose hands God has placed the care of these “little ones”, should forget their needs. We as a people must reform in every line.
Nahum 6:9
@@@^I thank God that none of his reproaches had effect on me. I remembered that neither Sister White nor John the Baptist and most of the apostles had any education, and that we are not preparing to kill any body. Nevertheless, I am burdened to know what can I do for these dear servants of God, who thrive on believing and spreading falsehood wherever they go.
Nahum 8:11
@@@^The above scripture urges us to be faithful and full of zeal in the duties which God has placed upon each individual. So far as we know, the duty of the questioner is to be faithful in obeying the principles of the doctrine, and whatsoever work he or she is given to do. The work of present truth believers is that they themselves reform by obeying the truth, and by precept and example lead others to obey it. Some of us are doing this by building the “camp” at Mt. Carmel Center, others by giving studies, still others by writing letters and sending tracts and books to their relatives, friends, and acquaintances. Those who labor for a livelihood must be faithful in their position, as was Daniel, so that they bring no reproach against their religious profession, but lead others to the gospel of Christ by their good behavior and faithful service in the name of Christ, and by supporting the cause of God.
Habakkuk 2:14
@@@^Many attempts have been made, especially during the past twenty-five years, to revive the Spirit of the Lord among God’s people, but each effort has failed in reaching its objective. However, when the “fullness of time” came at the end of forty years,—that often repeated number of Bible years—after the official announcement that the S. D. A.’s had rejected God’s “most precious message,” the Lord sent another message, which was handed in writing to thirty members of the General Conference Committee while assembled at the 1930 San Francisco Conference session. But as this message of 1930, like the one of 1888, was not accepted by the brethren, the fact soon became evident that if the message of 1930 was ever to reach the people, it must be published and distributed throughout the denomination. This resulted in the book entitled “The Shepherd’s Rod,” Volume One.
Habakkuk 5:10
@@@^What if Moses had not closely followed all the, instructions in building the tabernacle? And what if the builders had not carefully complied with Moses’ orders? Moreover, what would have happened to the temple of Solomon had the artificers failed to follow precisely the instructions given them? And what would have happened to the artificers themselves? Again, what were the results when Uzza, against God’s express orders not to touch the ark, attempted to steady it? And what was the fate of Lot’s wife when she ignored God’s express command not to turn her gaze backwards upon the doomed city, Sodom?

Habakkuk 8:2
@@@^O ye “elect of God,” if ye long to be “men wondered at,” then “lay hold the divine assurances of God’s word” that ye will be “a great people; [of which] there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even, to the years of many generations.”
