Dear Family,
I had only
been a Seventh Day Adventist
for a few months
when on a Sabbath Day
I faced a
challenge in my life that almost
caused me
to cancel my membership.
On this
particular Sabbath in the Swan River
Adventist
Church, the Sabbath School teacher
upheld a Baptist
Evangelical preacher,
Billy Graham,
as
being
“a wonderful
Godly man.” I had heard Billy say
something fairly
recently to that Sabbath that
was an absolute lie ! I spoke up in class and
stated that
Billy Graham was a false preacher !
I did not know
that there was a family visiting
that day who
were devotees of Billy Graham
and whose Son
was courting one of the Adventist
young ladies in
The Adventist Church. Well you
can imagine that
these people were naturally
offended as were
the parents of the young lady.
After church,
the Adventist Pastor reprimanded me
for my remarks
!
Well,
thankfully, My Dear Father, supported my position
and told the
Pastor that he agreed with what I had said
because it was
the Truth and people get offended at
the Truth, but
it is still the Truth !
Well all that
week and the next I was weighing the
question,
“should I remain in the Adventist church
if they could
not understand that the preachers in
Babylon were all
false preachers ?
That challenge
proved to be only the first of many
that I have
faced with people in the
church who
are unconverted,
Laodiceans and do not like to
hear The Truth,
neither do they understand The Truth !
Well two weeks
later we went to church and I had
not yet settled
the question in my mind. I went into
the church and
sat down to wait for Sabbath School
to begin. As I
sat down I reached for a hymnal and
as I opened it
my eyes fell on hymn # 443, titled,
Workman Of God.
I read the following lines and
my question was
answered, God had a work for
me to do in the
Adventist Church and I must not
leave at this
point in time ! So I have remained
a Seventh Day Adventist for 50 years because
The Truth that was revealed to the people who
did not lose
faith in the message they had received
in 1844, even though they had suffered a bitter
disappointment
is indeed The Truth and it is
Bible Truth and has not changed in 150 years,
although the gates of hell have tried to tear it
down !
However; it is
imperative to understand, that some of
the doctrines have been changed by Agents of Satan,
(((tares))) that have entered the church with the
express
purpose
to destroy The
Adventist Church ! Very few
people
understand what has and is happening before
their eyes
because they are asleep and happy in their
Laodicean mind
set !
So sadly the
challenge continues and comes from
many different
people, even my Precious Children !
However; those
who have “not walked in my moccasins”,
can not rightly
judge me for my plain speaking and
exposing of the ABOMINATIONS, in the CHURCH
and in the world
!
The Lord Jesus has called me to
this work from my youth,
and I will not retreat until the True People of God,
cross The Jordan River, and enter the
Promised
Land !
WORKMAN OF GOD
Workman of God! Oh, lose not heart,
But learn what God is like;
And on the darkest battlefield
Thou shalt know where to strike;
But learn what God is like;
And on the darkest battlefield
Thou shalt know where to strike;
Thrice blest is he to whom is given
The instinct that can tell,
That God is on the field when He
Is most invisible.
The instinct that can tell,
That God is on the field when He
Is most invisible.
Blest too is he who can divine
Where Truth and justice lie,
And dares to take the side,
Where Truth and justice lie,
And dares to take the side,
that seems wrong
to man’s blinded eye.
Then learn to scorn the praise of men,
And learn to lose with God;
For Jesus won the world through shame,
And beckons thee His road.
And learn to lose with God;
For Jesus won the world through shame,
And beckons thee His road.
For
right is right, since God is God,
And right the day must win;
To doubt would be disloyalty,
To falter would be sin.
And right the day must win;
To doubt would be disloyalty,
To falter would be sin.
Amen
!
Love,
Dad &
Grandpa
