6 February 2023 | Did Pastor Doug Batchelor, the Amazing Facts evangelist, mistakenly spread a doctored quotation from the Jewish historian Josephus? Did he ignore biblical scholarship and the advice of other Adventist experts? Join Professor Korpman as he addresses Doug Batchelor’s amazing fact from history that turns out to be not so factual.

When Abram left his homeland in response to God’s call, his nephew Lot chose to go with him on his pilgrimage. Genesis 13:1-18 records that God blessed Abram to the point that he “was very rich in cattle [the primary measure of wealth in that culture], in silver, and in gold” (Genesis 13:2). Lot also “had flocks, and herds, and tents” (Genesis 13:5). They both became so wealthy with their extensive livestock herds that they could not dwell close together. In order to avoid strife between their herdsmen, Abram offered Lot the choice of where he would like to live. Of course, Lot should have deferred to Abram, his senior, and because he owed his own prosperity to his connection to him. However, he showed no gratitude to his benefactor and selfishly wanted what he considered the best land available.

However easily Lot could have justified his decision to move to the city, things didn’t turn out so great for him there, and when Abram heard about what happened to him, he didn’t say, “Well, too bad, Lot. You reap what you sow.” Instead, he came to his rescue (see Genesis 14:1-24).
Sometimes in our quest for more stuff, we don’t learn our lessons well. Lot moved right back into Sodom! But in His great mercy, God sent messengers of warning to Lot and his family, letting them know of the pending destruction of these cities.
Because of Abraham’s concern for Lot and his family, he bargained with God to spare the cities if righteous people could be found in them. He started with 50 and went down to 10. In harmony with His character of love, God never stopped granting mercy until Abraham stopped asking! God and the two angels personally delivered Lot, his wife, and two daughters. But his wife looked back and became a pillar of salt. Lot entered Sodom a wealthy man and came out with almost nothing. How careful we need to be about the kind of decisions that we make, especially thinking only of short-term gains in contrast to the big picture (see Mark 8:36-37).

“MANAGING FOR THE MASTER Till He Comes” will show us that
God Is Working His Purpose Out – Hymn 225 in all our we do and say. May we be encouraged by this hymn for this quarter and that
In Our Work And In Our Play – Hymn 591 we will work until Jesus comes. Hence, a choice of theme hymns for this quarter.
The most priceless treasure in Heaven is our Saviour, Jesus:
Hymn 239 – Jesus, Priceless Treasure. Sabbath afternoon’s introduction goes on to request 
Seek Ye First The Kingdom – Hymn 224 because I am, you are,
Heir Of The Kingdom – Hymn 594.
On Sunday Noah preaches for more than one century and we are asked to
Go, Preach My Gospel – Hymn 378 today.
We are given a great example of faith on Monday with Abram:
Hymn 11 – The God of Abraham Praise. We wish to praise God, just as Abram/Abraham did, and be just as faithful as he was:
O Brother, Be Faithful – Hymn 602.
We read of Jacob on Wednesday and his weary travels.
As Jacob With Travel Was Weary – Hymn 628, so are we in this world as it falls apart in preparation for the coming of our Lord. Once again our encouragement comes from
O Brother, Be Faithful – Hymn 602.
With worldly possessions pressing in all around on the media and from those around us, it is wonderful to sing
Take The World, But Give Me Jesus – Hymn 329 because
Jesus Is All The World To Me – Hymn 185.
Today, and every day, we look forward to Jesus coming again. Oh, what a day that will be
When We All Get To Heaven – Hymn 633 because
That Glorious Day Is Coming – Hymn 209.
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/Search 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.”
