Limping Towards The Finish Line


 Happy Sabbath Lighthouse!  On this the last Sabbath of the year 2012, we still find ourselves in a world filled with problems, doubts, worries, and fears.  However, if we are limping toward the 2012 finish line, the only ‘bad news’, one author notes, ‘is that time flies’.  The good news is that you’re NOT the Pilot.  With Jesus as our able Pilot, may we declare, ‘forward ever, backward never’.  May He ever lead us ‘in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake’.

The Salt And Light Of This World


Happy Sabbath servants of the Most High God!  Christ has commissioned and empowered us to be salt and lights in this sin sick world.  As we walk this Christian pathway, let us take our rightful place as salt and lights, leading sinners to Christ.  Ellen G. White states, “The light of heaven is to be reflected through Christ's followers to the world. This is the Christian's lifework - to direct the minds of sinners to God. The Christian's life should awaken in the hearts of worldlings high and elevated views of the purity of the Christian religion. This will make believers the salt of the earth, the saving power in our world; for a well-developed Christian character is harmonious in all its parts.
