We moved out of the city (suburbs) about 3-years ago We never knew how much daily preparation and planning this would require because (we discovered) that our thoughts and behaviors were so impacted by the world Jesus has been faithfully peeling away layer by layer of worldly things that it’s hard to imagine or even see two years ago Take home is: Give yourself enough time for Jesus to take away every layer that isn’t based on His word and doctrines but most importantly- His growing of your faith
What about take away our sin and give us His Character? This is our work for today. Let sweet Jesus fill us with His Holy Spirit and His seal in our foreheads. We His children need this first present and always!
I tried moving out, it was lovely seeing the hills, country side, eating fresh foods. Fresh air everything was wonderful.... Then my new blond neighbor started complaining about me vacuuming in the morning, and complaint about me singing having worship in the morning. Then my offspring faced Racism and bullying for years, everything went down hill for being a Sda Christian... I have never fought so much and so hard. My young offspring nearly took her own life, and l took the whole headquarters/school to court and only won after eight years of prayerfully fighting. I moved out of the country and back to my home town. It is not easy... I am more damaged now then l was before, l believe the God is keeping myself and my young offspring close to His Divine Heart, and will lead us home to His Divine Heavenly Paradise. We are going to move gradually step by step close to the edge of the Town and will watch and wait for Jesus. We are working out our Salvation day by day. We have more Peace this way. It is not easy.... But l believe that God our Lord and His Ministering Angels that excel in Strength is strongly with us.

@cecilialeonora9430 my sister, if you will start all over again and keep your SOP books near by, when you need help with a word, a statement, a verse, etc., and ask our LORD for the HOLY SPIRIT'S presence guiding and teaching as you read. You will find that even the "begot"s" start getting interesting. 😊
Well done! The interior of your church is só elegant, refreshing and calming. I would feel so serenely comforted worshipping in your stylish sanctuary. For me, it truly resembles the God of order, simple beauty and exquisite symmetry, whispering... Come, and Rest a while... Wonderful!
Great teachings, this made me know that so long as the church doctrines is not against Jesus teachings, you are in a good place, . My conclusion is that it's an individual's relationship with Jesus that will determine his final destination when Jesus returns. May God bless you servant of God, your teachings are blessing me soo much. Today is my 3rd day since I came across your teachings. Before i didn’t have idea that SDA could deliver such powerful teachings. Therefore, let's people stay away from the days to worship the LORD.
I still believe in the SDA church, I follow what Ellen White said and taught, even if the leaders change the beliefs in the 1980s Before the Jesuit infritreated
Faith and unquestioning obedience are eternally intertwined. Obedience is the fruit of faith and the service of love: If ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine. (Exodus 19:5) Instead of releasing man from obedience, it is faith, and faith only, that makes us partakers of the grace of Christ, which enables us to render obedience.
God has been asking to persevere in a very gnarly path of life I'm currently treading. I kept asking him to take it away or to solve it for me but the answer from heaven is clear: when the going gets tough, the tough gets going. That's another way of saying: the just shall live by faith.
Recently I learned not to ask God to take away my problems. but to help me learn what He wants me to learn in the adversity. I needed to learn patience, prayed to God that He would help me learn how to be patient. But when I started to work driving all day, where everyone would be cutting you off, yelling, trying to run you over. I asked God to help me find a different job. I was struggling trying to not react as they all did. So now I see how wrong I was. God answered my prayer. He put me right where I would learn patience and I was asking Him to take me out. Ironic. God wants us to learn somethings threw adversity. May we pray not to take away our problems but to help us learn the lesson He is trying to show us. Happy Sabbath!
When on front line for Him, knowing nothing of His word, His power was so unbelievably strong; His presence was exceedingly strong, *His angels sang creating awe. Yes, Satan was destroying all you own, including your physical body. But sitting in a church filled with people who won’t witness, teach His word, or lift a hand, it’s worse to be in that sort of influence.
Agree, when on front line for Him, lost job, persecution from church so lost friends that I’d brought there to visit, lost nearly everything coming from no religious background or knowledge of it. No teachings of His word in churches, just churches fill of negativity on externals. Thankful for online scholars and teachers who have common sense and “sound” doctrines.
Righteousness by Faith...one of the meanings is= God gives each person a grain of mustard seed - which represents a tiny portion of faith. God expects growth from that tiny original mustard seed. In other words God expects our mustard seed of faith to have grown on a bigger scale, like a massive Oak Tree. Also, at the end of time, the faith that we all have, we will be Living off it spiritually. So we have to make sure that we are practicing with it daily. Practicing with your mustard seed of faith, helps your faith to grow, and to grow stronger.
Good morning pastor Ron very interesting sermon. However when you pray i heard you mention the three in one , my question to you sr is it three in one or three are one God ?
Hi Grace, this is Ron Kelly, Sr. Pastor @ Village SDA Church in Berrien Springs, MI...he's wonderful & a strong, faithful servant of God! I love listening to & learning from him! 😊 God Bless!🙏
I am sorry to hear the words "Three in One" from this dear pastor. The Bible and the SOP clearly present the Godhead as Three distinct Divine Beings - the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit - Matt.28:19; Jn.14:26. And then we have this clear statement from EV 615 - "The Comforter that Christ promised to send after He ascended to heaven, is the Spirit in all the fullness of the Godhead, making manifest the power of divine grace to all who receive and believe in Christ as a personal Saviour. There are three living persons of the heavenly trio; in the name of these three great powers-the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit-those who receive Christ by living faith are baptized, and these powers will co-operate with the obedient subjects of heaven in their efforts to live the new life in Christ."
Ex 4th generational SDA is so distorted in the word saying OT is law and NT is grace, but though I gave her this Galatians passage, she voids prophecy and OT, so she deletes over 2/3 of the bible!
