Romani 1:18-20 – L'ira di Dio si rivela dal cielo contro ogni empietà e ingiustizia degli uomini che soffocano la verità con l'ingiustizia; poiché quel che si può conoscere di Dio è manifesto in loro, avendolo Dio manifestato loro; infatti le sue qualità invisibili, la sua eterna potenza e divinità, si vedono chiaramente fin dalla creazione del mondo essendo percepite per mezzo delle opere sue; perciò essi sono inescusabili.

This quarter “The Week at a Glance” shows God’s covenant is spoken of mostly. God has made his promises (covenant) with many people in the Bible, and continues to give us promises for today, hence for a theme hymn I find that I wish to keep standing on the Promises that God has given to us all –
Hymn 518 – Standing on the Promises as
My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less – Hymn 522.
Hymn 537 – He Leadeth Me comes from the Sabbath afternoons reading in Psalm 23. This is followed by
Hymn 546 – The Lord’s My Shepherd showing the paths of righteousness that are in Psalm 119.
Israel is not the only one due redemption (Sunday) with
The Wonders of Redeeming Love – Hymn 179. We may add
Hymn 337/338 – Redeemed!
Today we may share the covenant that God has with us as in
Hymn 347 – Built On the Rock.
Just as the Israelites had the law given to Moses for them, so we have God’s law today in the Bible:
Hymn 277 – For Your Holy Book We Thank You.
Thursday shows God acknowledging Abraham’s faithful obedience which we are able to sing in
Hymn 590 – Trust and Obey,
Hymn 279 – Only Trust Him, and
Hymn 510 – If You Trust in God to Guide You.
To learn unknown hymns, you will find the accompaniment music for each one at: https://sdahymnals.com/Hymnal/
Another great resource is for when there is a hymn you wish to sing, but can’t find it in your hymnal. Go to https://www.sdahymnal.org and in the search bar type a special word in that is in the hymn. I am sure you will be amazed at the help you will be given.
2 Timothy 2:15 KJV – “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

The magnificent Grand Canyon, one of the world's wonders with its vivid rock layers carved by the copper-colored Colorado River, preserves billions of years of history and protects many species. How does this river valley demonstrate the existence of God and the integrity of the Bible? The Bible tells us about creation in two chapters, then three chapters about a flood — the major flood that transforms the entire landscape of geological understanding. How come certain layers of the Grand Canyon are still flat after millions of years? Dr. Ariel Roth, a zoologist, creationist, and a prominent figure in the field of flood geology who has been highly engaged in the creation-evolution controversy, will address how we can prove that God exists as the great designer of nature about the Grand Canyon in Arizona. "If you're looking for truth, you don't want to limit your horizon. You want to have as many possibilities. So, in case one of them is true, you find it." — Ariel Roth, Ph.D. Watch the entire video to see how amazing God is in creating the world to be magnificent.

“And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone” (Deuteronomy 4:13).
However much we have been stressing that the covenant is always a covenant of grace, that it is only the result of God’s bestowing unmerited favor upon those who enter into a saving relationship with Him, grace is not a license to disobey. On the contrary, covenant and law belong together; they are, in fact, inseparable.

When you think about what a covenant is, the concept of law as an integral part makes sense. If we understand the covenant as among other things, a relationship, then some sort of rules and boundaries need to be drawn. How long would a marriage or a friendship or a business partnership last if there were no boundaries or rules, either specifically expressed or tacitly understood? The husband decides to take a girlfriend or the friend decides to help himself to the other’s wallet, or one business partner without telling the other invites another person to join their venture. These acts would be a violation of rules, laws, and principles. How long would these relationships last under such lawless circumstances? That is why there has to be boundaries, lines drawn, and rules established. Only through these can the relationship be maintained.
In fact, various expressions such as law (Ps: 78:10) statutes (Ps: 50:16), testimonies (Ps: 25:10), commandments (Ps: 103:18), and word of the Lord (Deuteronomy 33:9) are found parallel to or in closest association with (if not having almost the same meaning as) the word covenant. Evidently “the words of this covenant” (Jeremiah 11:3, Jeremiah 11:6, Jeremiah 11:8) are the words of God’s law, statutes, testimonies, and commandments.
The covenant of God with His people Israel contained various requirements that would be crucial for maintaining the special relationship He sought with His people. Is it any different today?
| Think of someone you have a close relationship with. Now, imagine what would happen to that relationship if you didn’t feel bound by any rules, norms, or laws, but believed you had total freedom to do whatever you wanted. Even if you say that you love this person and that love alone will decide how you relate to him or her, why is there still a need for rules? Discuss. |
