The General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists has announced a sweeping new policy banning all forms of movement during Sabbath song service. The initiative, dubbed “Statuesque Sabbath,” aims to eliminate what church leaders are calling “distracting kinetic worship.” Elder Rigid Stockstill, chair of the newly formed Committee on Motionless Melodies, explained the rationale behind the decision: […] Source: https://atoday.org/satire-all-movement-banned-during-adventist-song-services/

The studies in this quarters pamphlet encourage us to see God’s Love and Justice, just as we may sing in
Hymn 79 – O Love of God, How Strong and True! which is a beautiful theme hymn for our studies.
Sabbath afternoon talks of Peter saying three times that he loves Jesus, hence three wonderful hymns how we can sing we love
our Lord Jesus:
Hymn 236 – I Love Thee,
Hymn 321 – My Jesus, I Love Thee and
Hymn 248 – O, How I Love Jesus.
With the
Marvelous Grace – Hymn 109 of our loving Lord, we see he freely loves us as sinners. Our hymnal has a wonderful section in it named “Love Of God”. Here we find eight hymns about the glorious love of our God:
Hymn 74 – Like A River Glorious,
Hymn 75 – The Wonder Of It All,
Hymn 76 – O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go,
Hymn 77 – O Love of God Most Full,
Hymn 78 – For God So Loved Us,
Hymn 79 – O Love of God, How Strong and True!,
Hymn 80 – O World Of God and
Hymn 81 – Though I Speak With Tongues.
On learning of Israel and it’s many troubles with God still loving them, we can ask ourselves if we can sing
Hymn 533 – O For A Faith that will not shrink, all because
God’s Free Mercy Streameth – Hymn 110 (Monday). Tuesday states the same, and ends with
Amazing Grace – Hymn 108.
These hymns keep popping up all through this week’s lesson study.
Please continue to search the scriptures this week to be blessed, and to bless many others.
