Page 9 of 17Daniel 3:10
@@@^Are you still insulting God by asking His blessing on the table upon which stands the enslaving and injurious pepper shaker, mustard can, spice boxes, and vinegar pitcher? And do you still have to confess shameful addiction to liquor, tobacco, coffee, tea, cocoa, chocolate, or soda fountain drinks.
Hosea 3:4
@@@^We, having come to the time of the ingathering of the first-fruits (the 144,000), in whose mouth there is to be “found no guile,” and who are to be sealed from the household of Jacob, our father, who “vowed a vow,” and kept it, that “Of all that Thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto Thee,” desire, like him, to make and keep our vows to Him from whom “all blessings flow.”
Hosea 3:11
@@@^In closing these lines, we wish to express our appreciation for the many blessings of our heavenly Father, and assure those at Mt. Carmel that we are joining them in earnest prayer to the end that it may become a real haven of rest for the aged and infirm among us, and a training center for the young, and a demonstration to the whole Universe that God does have a message which will bind together the rich and poor, free and bond of every race, language, color, and caste of this old sin-cursed earth. @2Yours to “follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth,”@3(Signed) E. T. WILSON.
Hosea 5:1
@@@^This has been, and is, a very difficult field in which to labor. At every turn there is doubting, complaining, and criticism. We witness terrible things here. People, calling themselves Christians, stand up and call us names, and then have the audacity to turn right around and get up on the rostrum and pray for God’s blessings upon themselves. Oh, what answer will our people give God!
Hosea 8:11
@@@^The Lord’s command in reference to His means is: “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in Mine house, and prove Me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” (Malachi 3:10.)
Hosea 10:8
@@@^“Let those who gain . . . an experience in working for the Lord write an account of it for our papers, that others may be encouraged. Let the canvasser tell of the joy and blessing he has received in his ministry as an evangelist. These reports should find a place in our papers; for they are far-reaching in their influence. They will be as sweet fragrance in the church, a savor of life unto life. Thus it is seen that God works with those who cooperate with Him.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 6, p. 336.
Joel 2:7
@@@^Hence, this institution is open to those youth who are “eager to obtain a better knowledge of the Scriptures, to search deeper into the mysteries of the kingdom of God, and to seek wisdom from above,” in order especially to qualify themselves to have a part “in the closing work for the church,” that they may prove “a great blessing to Israel, promoting that righteousness which exalteth a nation, and furnishing it with men [and women] qualified to act, in the fear of God, as leaders and counselors.”—“Fundamentals of Christian Education,” p. 96. @3M. J. B.
Joel 3:4
@@@^“Grateful beyond expression for the undeserved blessings which the Lord has so lovingly bestowed upon me, I gladly give my life to this message, especially to the training of the children and youth, and I earnestly pray that many more of our young people will unclasp hands with the world, and come over on the Lord’s side to take an active part in the restitution of the schools of the prophets, so that they might help in the proclaiming of this gospel to @9‘all@7 the world in this generation.’ ” @3Genevieve Ruth Bingham
Amos 5:2
@@@^“God celebrated the first marriage. Thus the institution has for its originator the Creator of the universe. ‘Marriage is honorable;’ it was one of the first gifts of God to man, and it is one of the two institutions that, after the fall, Adam brought with him beyond the gates of Paradise. When the divine principles are recognized and obeyed in this relation, marriage is a blessing; it guards the purity and happiness of the race, it provides for man’s social needs, it elevates the physical, the intellectual, and the moral nature.
Amos 10:5
@@@^We feel sure that a goodly number are receiving the call to “Arise and shine, for thy light is come,” though many, Oh, so many are relying upon some one else to carry them through, while the church is casting out honest souls who would prove themselves to be a blessing to the brethren if they would bequit of all their prejudice. Other souls are bound by fear of consequences, and they know not what they believe. Even the leaders, sad to say, are not so sure of themselves, else they would not be so upset when tests are brought upon them. How thankful God’s true followers should be, whether they be retained as members in good and regular standing or whether they be cast out!
Amos 14:8
@@@^“Unwise economy and artificial customs often prevent the exercise of hospitality where it is needed and would be a blessing. The regular supply of food for our tables should be such that the unexpected guest can be made welcome without burdening the housewife to make extra preparation.
Obadiah 8:2
@@@^“There is a liberal supply of means among our people, and if all felt the importance of the work, this great enterprise could be carried forward without embarrassment. All should feel a special interest in sustaining it. Especially should those who have means invest in this enterprise. A suitable home should be fitted up for the reception of invalids, that they may, by the use of proper means and the blessing of God, be relieved of their infirmities, and learn how to take care of themselves, and thus prevent sickness.
Obadiah 8:3
@@@^“Many who profess the truth are growing close and covetous. They need to be alarmed for themselves. They have so much of their treasure upon the earth that their hearts are on their treasure. Much the larger share of their treasure is in this world, and but little in Heaven; therefore their affections are placed on earthly possessions instead of on the heavenly inheritance. There is now a good opportunity for them to use their means for the benefit of suffering humanity, and also for the advancement of the truth. This enterprise should never be left to struggle in poverty. These stewards to whom God has intrusted means should now come up to the work and use their means to His glory. To those who through covetousness withhold their means, it will prove a curse rather than a blessing.
Obadiah 10:12
@@@^Are you in a run-down condition? Does your system require more minerals, more vitamins? Does your diet call for concentrated vegetable tonics? Or, are you in good health, and do you wish to maintain this inestimable blessing? If you can answer yes to any of these questions, then take that tonic which the Lord, Himself, has for you.
Jonah 4:1
@@@^I cannot express how earnestly I hope and pray that every Present Truth believer may gain an experience with God and receive even greater blessings than have I. I shall do my part to help answer my own prayers in your behalf, and to grant my heart’s desire, by doing what little I can for you, my brothers and sisters, whether it be in person or by correspondence, or by my endeavors to exert the kind of influence that will direct your minds to the One Who, by His death, made possible our doing even “greater works” than He.
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.
Jonah 11:6
@@@^“Parents should neglect no duty on their part to benefit their children. They should so train them that they may be a blessing to society here, and may reap the reward of eternal life hereafter.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 4, p.429.
Jonah 12:3
@@@^The only changes that are ever made in the material submitted to the Code, are in respect to the laws of language—grammar and logic—but never in respect to doctrine. Other submitted material, is, to the best of our ability and with the help of the Lord, carefully read and scrutinized; and only such contributions as are in perfect harmony with the sealing message, and are both encouraging and beneficial to all who may read the “Code,” are sent to press. Therefore, those who study but part of the Code are depriving themselves of a blessing which others wish they might have..
Jonah 15:3
@@@^“In health and in sickness, pure water is one of heaven’s choicest blessings. Its proper use promotes health. It is the beverage which God provided to quench the thirst of animals and man. Drank freely, it helps to supply the necessities of the system, and assists nature to resist disease.”—“Ministry of Healing,” p. 237.
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.
