[Espanol] During His sermon on the mount, Jesus touched several key areas that are a struggle for man. One of the points he mentioned was this. Mat 5:27-28  Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:  (28)  But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. For any…

During His sermon on the mount, Jesus touched several key areas that are a struggle for man. One of the points he mentioned was this. Mat 5:27-28  Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:  (28)  But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. For any Christian man, these words seem to provide the crushing blow to any sense of righteousness he might feel he possesses. In these words Jesus touches the very core of…

We next flew the hour flight from Cape Town to George on a small plane, where we were picked up by Cedric and his daughter Brumilda.  We then drove from the coast inland over a set of mountains to Oudtshoorn, the "ostrich capital of the world".  It is a small yet important town in South Africa and one of the centers of Afrikaans culture.  In the late 1800s there was a huge boom in the Ostrich market; ostrich feathers were as valuable as diamonds.  This brought a huge amount of wealth to this rugged town built in the little karoo,…

What a joy to know the blessings that exist for us in Christ Jesus our Lord. To think that we can partake of His divine nature by faith and overcome every hereditary and cultivated tendency to sin. The following passage from Ellen White is found in the book Amazing Grace Page 235. May it bless you and it has me!

The Pastor of Southern Adventist University faints twice at two different times preaching a sermon on God's active punishing wrath against sinners.

  In the light of persistent  misrepresentation about what I believe by church members I would like to examine the first chapter of Patriarchs and Prophets to try to identify what was happening, when it was happening and what was the substance of the events.   When were the events of Chapter 1 occurring? “The Son of God had wrought the Father's will in the creation of all the hosts of heaven; and to Him, as well as to God, their homage and allegiance were due. Christ was still to exercise divine power, in the creation of the earth and…

  Greetings David,    You may recall i'm the guy whom you somewhat presumptuously thought was going to help fund your work because you believed i was a man of means? Far from it, i'm a senior living below the poverty level but who's been following your activities with much interest since contacting you to determine whether copies of the New Illustrated Great Controversy were still available only to learn they continue out of print, thus circulation, since their first and only printing way back when. It has, however, not been a source of amusement to see how you keep promoting that publication when there remain none…

Written by Melodee Kerr “Halleluyah.  Sing unto YHWH a new song, and his praise in the congregation of the saints.  Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: the children of Zion be joyful in their King.  Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.  For YHWH taketh pleasure in his people:  he will beautify the meek with salvation. Let the saints be joyful in honor: let them sing aloud upon their beds.  Let the high praises of El be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their…

The following paper is a compilation of quotes from the Spirit of Prophecy that are arranged in sequence according to the plan of salvation. Each quote contains the word "flow" highlighted in blue print. I found this compilation to be an excellent complement to the paper: "Breath of God the Breath of Life." The paper flows really well from start to finish!Praise God, From Whom All Blessings Flow God is love. Like rays of light from the sun, love and light and joy flow out from Him to all His creatures. It is His nature to give. His very life is…

  Christians should be preparing for what is soon to break upon the world as an overwhelming surprise, and this preparation they should make by diligently studying the Word of God and striving to conform their lives to its precepts.--PK 626 (c. 1914).  {LDE 66.2} 

God is the same in all dispensations. The great principles of his moral government are as changeless as their divine Author. We solemnly protest against the heresy that the law and the gospel are opposed to each other. We have no sympathy with that lax gospel that contrasts the rigor of divine truth from God to the people through Moses, with the freedom of divine truth from God to the people through Jesus Christ. God is the same, yesterday, to-day, and forever. Moral principle is the same in every age.

George  Knight,  Adventist  historian stated,    “Most of the  founders of  Seventh-day  Adventism  would  not  be  able  to  join  the  church today  if  they  had  to  subscribe  to  the  denomination’s Fundamental  Beliefs.    More  specifically,  most  would  not  be able to agree  to belief  number  2,  which deals  with the  doctrine of  the  trinity.”     Ministry.  Oct 1993.  p10. William  G.  Johnsson  confirmed the  change  in  the  ‘Adventist Review’, “Adventist  beliefs  changed  over  the  years  under  the impact  of  ‘present  truth’.   Most  startling  is  the  teaching regarding  Jesus Christ,  our  Saviour  and  Lord.     Many  of  the pioneers,  including  James  White,  J.N.  Andrews,  Uriah …

Rom 12:9-21 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. (10) Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; (11) Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; (12) Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; (13) Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. (14) Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. (15) Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. (16) Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own…

This is not a book review but simply a heartfelt response to Adrian Eben’s book The Return of Elijah. And I will confess that because of the amount of highlighting and underlining done along the journey through this material, The Return of Elijah is currently the most colorful book in my collection. Brother Adrian requests the reader to “Please see this book as written by a son who is coming to his father and saying, ‘Dad, I think I found something amazing…” (p. 249). Although that ‘amazing’ truth was revealed to me prior to reading the book, (and yes, Brother…

Transcript - July 10, 2020   Welcome back everyone.  Glad you can join us.  A big thank you to Carlos for his presentation on the life of David.  That was very thought-provoking and a lot of us have been going back over the Old Testament characters and seeing a lot more than what we saw before, and realizing that these men were subject to like passions like as we are, or that a man of passion is probably the correct translation of that. Before we begin to sing, I think all of us are watching with great interest the events…

  When we consider the beauty of nature there are many lessons which call us to consider the source of this beauty. One of the most striking examples of how nature teaches us of the innate desire to return to the source of our origins is the Salmon fish. When a salmon hatches from an egg high in the mountains it begins its journey to the sea where it will mature and grow into a full grown fish. When the time is right the salmon will begin a migration to its place ofbirth. The following video shares just a small…
