IN ALL POINTS!
BUCKLE UP
SCRIPTURE READING 2 PETER 1 ENTIRE CHAPTER
I saw the necessity of the messengers, especially, watching and
checking all fanaticism wherever they might see it rise. Satan is
pressing in on every side, and unless we watch for him, and have
our eyes open to his devices and snares, and have on the whole
armor of God, the fiery darts of the wicked will hit us. There are
many precious truths contained in the Word of God, but it is
“present truth” that the flock needs now. I have seen the danger
of the messengers running off from the important points
of present truth, to dwell upon subjects that are not calculated to
unite the flock and sanctify the soul. Satan will here take every
possible advantage to injure the cause.
REVELATION 14:6-12
1 PETER 2 9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar
people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of
darkness into his marvellous light;
REVELATIN 5 9 AND 10And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book,
and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy
blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
ACCESS GRANTED
23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
24
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall
ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
25
Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
26
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
27
Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy
convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto
the LORD.
28
And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for
you before the LORD your God.
29
For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from
among his people.
LEVITICUS 23:23-29
We are now living in the great day of atonement. In the typical service, while the high priest was
making the atonement for Israel, all were required to afflict their souls by repentance of sin and
humiliation before the Lord, lest they be cut off from among the people. In like manner, all who
would have their names retained in the book of life should now, in the few remaining days of their
probation, afflict their souls before God by sorrow for sin and true repentance. There must be deep,
faithful searching of heart. The light, frivolous spirit indulged by so many professed Christians must
be put away. There is earnest warfare before all who would subdue the evil tendencies that strive for
the mastery. The work of preparation is an individual work. We are not saved in groups. The purity
and devotion of one will not offset the want of these qualities in another. Though all nations are to
pass in judgment before God, yet He will examine the case of each individual with as close and
searching scrutiny as if there were not another being upon the earth. Everyone must be tested and
found without spot or wrinkle or any such thing. Solemn are the scenes connected with the closing
work of the atonement. Momentous are the interests involved therein. The judgment is now passing
in the sanctuary above. For many years this work has been in progress. Soon—none know how soon
—it will pass to the cases of the living. In the awful presence of God our lives are to come up in
review. At this time above all others it behooves every soul to heed the Saviour's admonition: “Watch
and pray: for ye know not when the time is.” Mark 13:33.
it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which
spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the
transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden
under foot?
14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the
sanctuary be cleansed.
those who will cry out against this nauseating mixture of flesh
and spirit. Ministers and members must be willing to risk
criticism in order to preach the Laodicean message. There are
a thousand more pleasant subjects, but the hour is too late to
substitute smooth things. Neither do the sleeping saints need
any more soothing messages. This is the hour for an
awakening.
REAPING THE WHIRLWIND
If you think John the Baptist was too strong and direct in his
preaching, you may rise up against the kind of messages God is
leading men to proclaim today. Was John too blunt when he
called the king into question for being unlawfully married? If so,
we must be more blunt. Consider this statement:
CONTINUING…
“In this fearful time, just before Christ is to come the second time, God’s faithful preachers will
have to bear a still more pointed testimony than was borne by John the Baptist. A responsible,
important work is before them; and those who speak smooth things, God will not
acknowledge as His shepherds. A fearful woe is upon them.” Testimonies, Vol. 1, p. 321. The
Public to Be Deeply Stirred
All are bound by the most sacred obligations to God to heed the sound philosophy and
genuine experience which He is now giving them in reference to health reform. He designs
that the great subject of health reform shall be agitated, and the public mind deeply stirred to
investigate; for it is impossible for men and women, with all their sinful, health-destroying,
brain-enervating habits, to discern sacred truth, through which they are to be sanctified,
refined, elevated, and made fit for the society of heavenly angels in the kingdom of glory.—
Testimonies for the Church 3:162.
CONTINUING…..
The fellow laborer of Moses, who was left with the solemn charge of the people in his
absence, heard them uttering complaints that Moses had left them, and expressing a
desire to return to Egypt; yet, through fear of offending the people, he was silent. He
did not stand up boldly for God, but to please the people he made a golden calf. He
seemed to be asleep to the beginning of the evil. When the first rebellious word was
spoken, Aaron might have checked it; but so fearful was he of offending the people
that he apparently united with them and was finally persuaded to make a golden calf
for them to worship. 4T 514.2
Ministers should be faithful watchmen, seeing the evil and warning the people. Their
dangers must be set before them continually and pressed home upon them. The
exhortation given to Timothy was: “Reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering
and doctrine.” 4T 515.1

days, the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, are
perfectly calculated to explain the past Advent movement and
show what our present position is, establish the faith

have frequently seen, were the principal subjects on
which the messengers should dwell.

PSALM 11: 151]Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.
[152] Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.
[153] Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.
[154] Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word.
[155] Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.

As religious aggression subverts the liberties of our nation, those who would stand for freedom of
conscience will be placed in unfavorable positions. For their own sake, they should, while they have
the opportunity, become intelligent in regard to disease, its causes, prevention, and cure. All those who
do this will find a field of labor anywhere. There will be suffering ones, plenty of them, who will need
help, not only among those of our own faith, but largely among those who know not the truth. The
shortness of time demands an energy that has not been aroused among those who claim to believe the
present truth.—Counsels on Health, 506. The Distinguishing Sign
MY ADVICE TO US IS TO SEEK GOD AND GET HANDS OF EVERY PIECE OF MEDICAL
MISSIONARY INFORMATION THAT WE CAN, AND PLEAD WITH GOD TO GIVE US A FEW
MORE YEARS!
True sympathy between man and his fellow men is to be the sign distinguishing those who love and
fear God from those who are unmindful of His law. How great the sympathy that Christ expressed in
coming to this world to give His life a sacrifice for a dying world! His religion led to the doing of
genuine medical missionary work. He was a healing power. “I will have mercy, and not sacrifice,” He
said. This is the test that the great Author of truth used to distinguish between true religion and false.
God wants His medical missionaries to act with the tenderness and compassion that Christ would
show were He in our world.—Medical Ministry, 251.

, From the first dawn of reason, the human mind should become intelligent in regard to the
physical structure. Here Jehovah has given a specimen of Himself, for man was made in the image
of God. CHILD GUIDANCE 103.2
How slow men are to understand God's preparation for the day of His power. He works today to
reach hearts in the same way that He worked when Christ was upon this earth. In reading the
Word of God, we see that Christ brought medical missionary work into His ministry. Cannot our
eyes be opened to discern Christ's methods? Cannot we understand the commission He gave to His
disciples and to us? CME 12.2
The world must have an antidote for sin. As the medical missionary works intelligently to relieve
suffering and save life, hearts are softened. Those who are helped are filled with gratitude. As the
medical missionary works upon the body, God works upon the heart.—Manuscript 58, 1901.

12 And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came
to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to
Gilgal.
13
And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of the LORD: I have
performed the commandment of the LORD.
14
And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of
the oxen which I hear?
15
And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of
the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God; and the rest we have utterly
destroyed.

Most Christians assume that Sunday is the biblically approved day of
worship. The Roman Catholic church protests that it transferred Christian
worship from the biblical Sabbath (Saturday) to Sunday, and that to try to
argue that the change was made in the Bible is both dishonest and a denial
of Catholic authority. If Protestantism wants to base its teachings only on
the Bible, it should worship on Saturday

Gay pride or LGBT pride is the positive stance against discrimination and violence
toward lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people to promote their self-
affirmation, dignity, equality rights, increase their visibility as a social group, build
community, and celebrate sexual diversity and gender variance. Pride, as opposed to
shame and social stigma, is the predominant outlook that bolsters most LGBT rights
movements throughout the world. Pride has lent its name to LGBT-themed
organizations, institutes, foundations, book titles, periodicals, a cable TV station, and
the Pride Library.
Ranging from solemn to carnivalesque, pride events are typically held during LGBT
Pride Month or some other period that commemorates a turning point in a country's
LGBT history, for example Moscow Pride in May for the anniversary of Russia's 1993
decriminalization of homosexuality. Some pride events include LGBT pride parades
and marches, rallies, commemorations, community days, dance parties, and festivals.

When the early church became corrupted by departing from the simplicity
of the gospel and accepting heathen rites and customs, she lost the Spirit
and power of God; and in order to control the consciences of the people,
she sought the support of the secular power. The result was the papacy, a
church that controlled the power of the state and employed it to further
her own ends, especially for the punishment of “heresy.” In order for the
United States to form an image of the beast, the religious power must so
control the civil government that the authority of the state will also be
employed by the church to accomplish her own ends. GC 443.2
