The end is very near. We who know the truth should be preparing for what is soon to break upon the world as an overwhelming surprise.—Testimonies For The Church 8:27-28 (1904). . Ev 622.2-Ev 623.1 5/5
Deceptions Through Secret Societies—
The world is a theater; the actors, its inhabitants, are preparing to act their part in the last great drama. With the great masses of mankind, there is no unity, except as men confederate to accomplish their selfish purposes. 1/6
Those who are yielding to the passion for confederation are working out the plans of the enemy. The cause will be followed by the effect.
Transgression has almost reached its limit. Confusion fills the world, and a great terror is soon to come upon human beings. 4/5
We are to stand free in God, looking constantly to Christ for instruction. All our movements are to be made with a realization of the importance of the work to be accomplished for God.—Testimonies for the Church 7:84 (1902). . CH 273.3 2/2
We are now to use all our entrusted capabilities in giving the last warning message to the world. In this work we are to preserve our individuality. We are not to unite with secret societies or with trades unions. 1/2

God's forgiveness is the same as it was for many of the 'heroes' from scripture as it is for the ordinary person that lives today.
That forgiveness runs deep!
Jonah ran away = God still provided
Elijah ran away = God still provided
You, Me and many others at some point ran away for many days, weeks, months and YEARS = God...still provides even when we dont realise 😕😔
God is in the business of loving US...even when you leave!
Let not the gloom of this year spoil the cheer associated with this season. Be sure to enjoy every waking moment of it.
I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and pray that joy and blessings permeate your entire life.
Have a good one. 2/2
2020 has been quite an interesting year, with all of its twists and turns.
Many have left us, but thankfully we're still here. It therefore behoves us to live to our fullest potential. 1/2
Whenever it is possible, employers should give their workers the hours from Friday noon until the beginning of the Sabbath. Give them time for preparation, that they may welcome the Lord’s day with quietness of mind.
