Idols

Do not let anything or anyone become an idol in your life. In the long run people and things will let you down. God Never will!

Your first allegiance is to God. The Father, Son Jesus Christ,  & the Holy Spirit.

Anything can be an idol: shopping, make-up, clothes, shoes, jewelry etc., automobiles, trucks, boats, images, people, etc.

If anything or anybody takes first place in your life it is an idol - a little god who cannot save you!

You must not have any other god but Me..You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for other gods...
. Exodus 20:3, 5 The Ten Commandments, Holy Scriptures

PS: it's okay to have some stuff, but make sure you Love and Serve God First and Foremost!

Lover of the Sea

On an ocean trip Ellen G White wrote," the waves ran high and we were tossed up and down so very grandly. I was highly elevated in my feelings, but had no words to say to any one. It was grand. The spray dashing over us. The watchful captain giving his orders, the ready hands to obey. The wind was blowing strong, and I never enjoyed anything so much in my life."
Letter 5, 1876, Ellen G White

On another voyage she wrote, that both the wind and "white capped, roaring billows" assaulted the ship. " I remained on deck after nearly all had abandoned it because of sea-sickness. I enjoyed the sight of the billows running mountain high, blue and green, and the dashing spray reflecting all the colors of the rainbow. Signs of the Times, July 18, 1878, Ellen G White

Experiencing the storm led her to think of the "majesty of God and His works....He holds the winds in His hand, He controls the waters. Finite beings, mere specks upon the broad deep waters of the Pacific, were we in the sight of God, yet angels of Heaven were sent from His excellent glory to guard that little sailboat that was careening over the waves. Oh the wonderful works of God!  So much above our comprehension!  He at one glance beholds the highest heavens and the midst of the sea...."..  Letter 5, 1876, Ellen G White

All Above quoted in: Walking with Ellen White, 29-30, George R Knight, Review & Herald

On Pain & Suffering and God

For eleven months I suffered from malarial fever and inflammatory rheumatism. During this time I experienced the most terrible suffering of my whole life. ...in all this there was a cheerful side. My Saviour seemed to be close beside me. I felt His sacred presence in my heart, and I was thankful.

These months of suffering were the happiest months of my life, because of the companionship of my Saviour....

I am so thankful that I had this experience, because I am better acquainted with my precious Lord and Saviour. His love filled my heart. All through my sickness His love, His tender compassion, was my comfort, my continual consolation.

Manuscript 75, 1893, ellen g white

Views of Colorado

While in Colorado Ellen White wrote:

I love the hills and mountains and forests of flourishing evergreens. I love the brooks, the swift-running streams of softest water which come bubbling over the rocks, through ravines, by the side of the mountains, as if singing the joyful praise of God....

We have, here in the mountains, a view of the most rich and glorious sunset it was ever our privilege to look upon. The beautiful picture of the sunset, painted upon the shifting, changing canvas of the heavens by the great master Artist, awakens in our hearts love and deepest reverence for God....

As we stand almost entranced before this picture of nature's unsurpassed loveliness, contemplating the glories of Heaven, of which we have a faint (view), we repeat softly to ourselves, "eye has not seen nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him."

Health Reformer, August 1873, Ellen G White

No Haste No Delay

Gods purposes, of course, know no haste and no delay.  Like the stars in their appointed courses His plans move steadily, unshakably to their consummation.

In the fullness of time, Paul tells us, God sent forth His Son.  He waited.  Many things converged to that point of waiting.  There are parallels to the second coming of Christ.

  Many things converge to our time also.  Heavenly plans, Satanic plans, earthly plans all move, and in the divine providence our heavenly Father is aware of those movements.

And in the fullness of time Jesus came.  And in the same manner, " in the fullness of time," He will come the second time.

Story behind Natural Disasters

Even if man can explain the natural disasters as part of El Niño, global warming, or some other 'natural' phenomenon, that does not keep them from being genuine signs of the end.


"The time is at hand when there will be sorrow in the world that no human balm can heal.  The Spirit of God is being withdrawn.  Disasters by sea and by land follow one another in quick succession. How frequently we hear of earthquakes and tornadoes, of destruction by fire and flood, with great loss of life and property!

"Apparently these calamities are capricious outbreaks of disorganized, unregulated forces of nature, wholly beyond the control of man; but in them all, God's purposes may be read.  They are among the agencies by which God seeks to arouse men and women to a sense of their danger".
Prophets and Kings, 277, e g white

O, Joyous Day! - Perfect in Mind and Body

When the Lord Jesus Christ returns (His coming is soon), He will take His faithful followers back to Heaven with Him.

  Oh, joyous Day! Sin and sadness gone forever!  No more pain or death! No more crying or disappointments! No more hospitals or surgeries!

Everything and every saved person will be beautiful and perfect in mind and body!

  And God Himself will live with us!!!

Worldly Customs Convert the Church

Conformity to worldly customs converts the church to the world; it never converts the world to Christ.

Familiarity with sin will inevitably cause sin to appear less repulsive,

(Those) who choose to associate with the servants of Satan will soon cease to fear Satan.

When in the way of duty we are brought into trial...we may be sure that God will protect us, but if we place ourselves under temptation we will fall sooner or later.

                  Based on  The Great Controversy, 509, e g white

It Is Not Enough

God has given us His word that we may become acquainted with its teachings and know for ourselves what He requires of us....

...It is not enough to have good intentions; it is not enough to do what a person thinks is right or what the minister tells him is right. His/Her soul salvation is at stake, and he/she should search the Scriptures for himself.

The Great Controversy, 598, e g white

Respect Your Wife

This is the second thing you do, says God.

You cry and weep, covering the Lords altar with tears. Saying "why doesn't God accept my offering?"

Because God has been the witness of how you treat your wife. You have treated her with treachery! Yet she is your companion, and your wife by the marriage covenant.

...pay attention to your words and actions!  That you do not deal treacherously!

Malachi 2:13-16 from Holy Scripture - the Bible
