Keep fast hold on Jesus

Happy Sabbath, Church. After a week of trials and victories, our gathering in God’s house of worship is a testimony of God’s goodness toward us. Amen! Let us therefore continue to trust in God and keep our eyes on our heavenly home as we face the new week. E.G. White encourages us to, “Keep fast hold on Jesus. Look up to the haven of rest and the home of the blest. Keep your soul in the love of God whatever may betide, and you will grow spiritually strong. Jesus is your loving Friend; He will take your hand and help you over every hard and trying place. A grateful, trustful, habitual recognition of God lies at the very foundation of all right conduct, all true character. You must never lose confidence in God.”--Letter 22, {UL 276.5}

Dwelling Among God

Happy Sabbath servants of the Most High.  Having health and strength to come into the house of the Lord another Sabbath is a blessing and a privilege.  God told Moses “And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.” (Ex 25:8).  E.G. White further states, “Happy are those who have a sanctuary, be it high or low, in the city or among the rugged mountain caves, in the lowly cabin or in the wilderness. If it is the best they can secure for the Master, He will hallow the place with His presence, and it will be holy unto the Lord of hosts.” My brothers and sisters let us be ever conscious of the fact that in the sanctuary we are in the presence of God.

As We Gaze Heaven-Ward

Warm greetings family. I pray that we will continue to claim, know and believe the love God has for us. As we gaze heaven-ward, we are to trust Him relentlessly and avoid being side-tracked by the needs and cares of this life. Sis. White notes that, “Our heavenly Father has a thousand ways to provide for us of which we know nothing. Those who accept the one principle of making the service of God supreme will find perplexities vanish and a plain path before their feet” (Help in Daily Living, p. 13). Praise God! Amen.

Molding For A Purpose

Hello brothers and sisters!  I have great news for you. God has a plan and a purpose for every one 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?

The Importance of Prayer

As we continue on our pilgrim’s journey we are reminded to be people of prayer. S.D. Gordon states, “The great people of the earth today are the people who pray! I do not mean those who talk about prayer; nor those who say they believe in prayer; nor those who explain prayer; but I mean those who actually take the time to pray. They have not time. It must be taken from something else. That something else is important, very important and pressing, but still, less important and pressing than prayer. There are people who put prayer first, and group the other items in life's schedule around and after prayer. These are the people today who are doing the most for God in winning souls, in solving problems, in awakening churches, in supplying both men and money for mission posts, in keeping fresh and strong their lives far off in sacrificial service . . . .”  May Lighthouse Tabernacle continue to be filled with prayerful saints; a house of prayer for all people. Amen.
