SILVER SPRING, Maryland — General Conference (GC) officials were both alarmed and genuinely annoyed this morning to hear a loud clapping sound coming from rocks around the huge building housing the Seventh-day Adventist world headquarters. “It seemed as though wherever two or more rocks were gathered, there was a really loud clapping sound,” said GC […] Source: https://atoday.org/satire-clapping-sound-heard-from-rocks-as-adventist-leaders-ban-church-applause/
Daily Lesson for Saturday 10th of February 2024

Read for This Week’s Study
Psalms 136:1-26, Psalms 51:1-19, Psalms 130:1-8, Psalms 113:1-9, Psalms 123:1-4.
Memory Text:
“I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing to You among the nations. For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens, and Your truth unto the clouds” (Psalms 57:9-10, NKJV).
The psalmists realize that they are spiritually poor and have nothing good to offer to God; that is, they have nothing in and of themselves that would recommend them before God’s holy throne (Psalms 40:17). They understand that they, as do all of us, need grace, God’s grace.
In short, they need the gospel.
The Psalms stress the fact that people are fully dependent on God’s mercy. Fortunately, God’s mercy is everlasting, as evidenced in both God’s creation and the history of God’s people (Psalms 136:1-26). Before the everlasting God, human life is as transient as grass, but God pities humans and renews their strength (Psalms 103:3,5,15), and in Him they have the promise of eternity.
God’s people take comfort in the fact that the Lord is faithful to His covenant. The people’s appeals, no matter how pressing at times, are often filled with hope because they are directed to their compassionate heavenly Father (Psalms 103:13, Psalms 68:5, Psalms 89:26). Fresh experiences of God’s grace and love strengthen their resolve to worship and serve God and no one or nothing else.

22 сентября 2022 | Дорогая тётушка Аня, Недавно кто-то поделился со мной этой цитатой Дж Лофборо от 8 октября 1861 г., она из журнала “Ревью энд Геральд“. “Первый шаг отступничества – это выдвинуть вероучение, говорящее нам, во что мы будем верить. Второй – сделать это вероучение тестом на общение. Третий – испытать членов церкви по […] Source: https://atoday.org/%d0%be%d0%b4%d0%be%d0%b1%d1%80%d0%b8%d0%bb%d0%b8-%d0%b1%d1%8b-%d0%bd%d0%b0%d1%88%d0%b8-%d0%bf%d0%b8%d0%be%d0%bd%d0%b5%d1%80%d1%8b-28-%d0%be%d1%81%d0%bd%d0%be%d0%b2%d0%b0%d0%bd%d0%b8%d0%b9-%d0%b2%d0%b5/
