Sabbath: The Call to Stand

Sabbath Afternoon
Read for This Week’s Study: Ephesians 6:10-20; Deuteronomy 20:2-4; Romans 13:11-14; 1 Thessalonians 5:6-8; 1 Corinthians 15:23-24.
Memory Text: “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil” (Ephesians 6:10-11, ESV).
Bleary-eyed, the servant stumbles out of his lodgings and sees an alarming sight — a large, well-equipped and hostile army with “troops, horses, and chariots everywhere.” Speaking to the prophet Elisha, he stammers out the news, along with his harried question, “Oh, sir, what will we do now?”
Elisha responds, “Don’t be afraid! … For there are more on our side than on theirs!” a response that fails to register in the face of his servant. Elisha, pulling him close, prays for him: “O Lord, open his eyes and let him see!” The prophet’s prayer is answered immediately. The servant steps to the ramparts again, but this time the veil between the seen and the unseen lifts. He now sees not one army, but two. “The Lord opened the young man’s eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire” (2 Kings 6:15-17, NLT).
In composing Ephesians 6:10-20, Paul prays for an enhanced vision for believers so that they will be able to see the full reality of the great controversy and to draw hope from what it reveals to them.
Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, September 16.
Amen!

В поисках честной, невротичной веры
Аарон ван Вурхис | 19 ноября 2020 | Когда разные штаты по всей стране начали приказывать своим гражданам укрываться от пандемии по своим домам и избегать массовых собраний, включая и религиозные службы, некоторые религиозные лидеры обиделись на такое решение. Епископ Джеральд О. Гленн, старший пастор евангелистской церкви New Deliverance в Ричмонде, штат Вирджиния, был одним […] Source: https://atoday.org/%d0%b2-%d0%bf%d0%be%d0%b8%d1%81%d0%ba%d0%b0%d1%85-%d1%87%d0%b5%d1%81%d1%82%d0%bd%d0%be%d0%b9-%d0%bd%d0%b5%d0%b2%d1%80%d0%be%d1%82%d0%b8%d1%87%d0%bd%d0%be%d0%b9-%d0%b2%d0%b5%d1%80%d1%8b/

La Iglesia no debería esperar a un juicio para responder a los abusos sexuales cometido por los líderes
Mi cuerpo se estremeció al leer y releer la respuesta de ocho frases que acababa de recibir, por correo electrónico, del Secretario Ejecutivo de la Asociación de Pennsylvania de los Adventistas del Séptimo Día. Nos sentimos animados por la nota de tu antiguo consejero, que demuestra que has sido capaz de centrarte en resolver muchos […] Source: https://atoday.org/la-iglesia-no-deberia-esperar-a-un-juicio-para-responder-a-los-abusos-sexuales-cometido-por-los-lideres/
