Family Re-invigoration


This week, as we focus on giving new life and energies to our families, God is reminding us in John 14:6: “I am the way, the truth, and the life”.  It follows that in our families, God is calling us to give Him His rightful place and allow Him to bring resurrection and life; allow Him to reenergize our love, our peace, our joy; allow Him to revive the true value of the family. May He guide us to this blessed end; may we be saved as a family when He shall return.  Amen.

What A Fellowship

 It is a joy to be together in the Lord’s sanctuary for another Sabbath of sweet fellowship after a week of love and joys, mingled with storms, trials and tribulations. As we gather Sabbath after Sabbath, we receive spiritual strength to face our storms and trials; we are also reminded to reject the devil’s deceit – that our storms have no end. Rather, keep the faith, for glorious days with Christ are ahead. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. attests as he once stated, “I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality” (Martin Luther King, Jr. - Nobel Price Acceptance Speech). Today, we too can derive hope from the precious promises found in God’s word.

Live on Purpose!


I have great news for you - God has a plan and a purpose for everyone of His children as we await His return. Thus, He is molding us and preparing us every step of the way. McNeal (2000) noted that “before Moses could leverage leadership or even speak a syllable, his life was being providentially superintended in order to prepare him for his unique assignment.” My question to you is what is your God given purpose?

Pressing on with Revelation!


Greetings family! This week we continue studying the book of Revelation. This great prophetic book (along with the book of Daniel) contain prophesies for these last days. E.G. White states, “In the Scriptures are presented truths that relate especially to our own time. To the period just prior to the appearing of the Son of man, the prophecies of Scripture point, and here their warnings and threatenings pre-eminently apply. The prophetic periods of Daniel, extending to the very eve of the great consummation, throw a flood of light upon events then to transpire. . . . None need remain in ignorance; none need be unprepared for the coming of the day of God.” (RH, September 25, 1883 par. 6) Let’s stay awake and watchful, for our Lord Jesus will come and will not tarry.
