"Holy Ground"

God said to Moses amidst the burning bush, “the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.” The place where God meets with His people is Holy ground. Thus, God’s house of worship is the place where He meets with His people. As a result, we should worship and conduct ourselves with the faith that God is in our midst. E.G. White notes that “If when the people come into the house of worship, they have genuine reverence for the Lord and bear in mind that they are in His presence, there will be a sweet eloquence in silence. The whispering and laughing and talking which might be without sin in a common business place should find no sanction in the house where God is worshiped. The mind should be prepared to hear the word of God, that it may have due weight and suitably impress the heart.” (CCh 249).

Calling All Women

Happy Sabbath. God has called not only men to be agents of truth; He has called women as well. Thus, the need is for women of faith and integrity to proclaim this gospel and stand for Christ in these last days. E.G. White states, “Women of firm principle and decided character are needed, women who believe that we are indeed living in the last days, and that we have the last solemn message of warning to be given to the world. They should feel that they are engaged in an important work in spreading the rays of light which Heaven has shed upon them. Nothing will deter this class from their duty. Nothing will discourage them in the work. They have faith to work for time and for eternity. They fear God, and will not be diverted from the work by the temptation of lucrative situations and attractive prospects. These are the ones who will correctly represent our faith, whose words will be fitly spoken, like apples of gold in pictures of silver. . . .” {Ev 477.2}. Praise God for the women in our midst.
