Damaged By the Church is a post where I share my experience of listening to people share about their spiritual walk through this life. Read on to learn what I have experienced from traveling around the world and meeting many diverse people with diverse beliefs!

Damaged By the Church

Damaged By the Church

In my travels around the world, I have noticed in my Christian walk that many people say they have been damaged from a particular denomination or religion. Many people have told me they are recovering Catholics. One man in particular recounted how painful it was when a nun at a Catholic school hit his hand repeatedly with a ruler and caused the man’s hand to bleed.

May I suggest you not give up on Christianity and give Jesus & the Bible a chance? The reason is so evident to me as God’s Word ( Bible ) gives me power to exist in this world filled with natural disasters, earthquakes, fires, floods, war, injustice, conflict and now pestilences with Covid19 ravaging society.

I grew up in a so called Christian home in the southern part of the USA. In the 1960’s and 1970’s, practically every family identified as ‘Christian’. We had a large family Bible but it collected dust instead of being opened and read.

Luke21Verse26

When I became an adult, I did not set foot in a church except to attend a funeral or marriage. My higher power from 1977 until 1994 was wine, women and song.

My life fell apart in 1988 with a serious accident that landed me in the burn center at a major hospital. I was 29 years old and struggled between being homeless and jobless for several years. I hit what some people call rock bottom in February 1994 and God has slowly healed me since.

Ever since Jesus entered my heart in 2007, my life has not been the same. I knew about God intellectually but did not have His peace & love for souls in my heart.

Cross of Calvary Is Salvation for Mankind

I am still falling short as sometimes I do not love my neighbor as myself. I ask for forgiveness each day to cover my shortcomings.

Look at this powerful scripture that we can pray when we have sinned. Most human beings know when they have done wrong as even an atheist has morals. In 1998, I heard a man that claims atheism as his philosophy share a powerful testimony of how he helps people in a community group. He said he understands how serving his community is his way of understanding the world and his concept of a higher power.

1 John 1:9

If We Confess Our Sins, He Is Faithful and Just to Forgive Us Our Sins, and to Cleanse Us From All Unrighteousness.

Damaged By the Church

Jesus has more to offer than Buddha, Confucius or Muhammad. When we accept Jesus into our hearts, we are promised that He will never leave us and He will come again for us. The promise of eternal life is only available through Jesus. The graves of Buddha, Confucius and Muhammad are all occupied.

According to what the Bible teaches, we only have to die once ( physical death ). When Jesus Christ returns at His Second Coming, the Bible says the Righteous Dead and Righteous Living will rise into the air and be with Him. For me, I cannot wait to see that Super Natural event happen.

Please give the Savior a chance. If you ever doubt He loves you, just look at the Cross at Calvary. Because God is LOVE, we do not have to be Damaged By the Church all our lives.

Natural Healing For Health Problems post shares powerful tips on staying well and avoiding the doctor. Watch the short video below to see my experience.

Natural Healing For Health Problems

Only Sick People Get Sick! Our focus should be on how to stay well. How did people stay well before there was a pharmaceutical drug industry? Hippocrates is known as the Father of Medicine. He used natural botanicals and herbal remedies to treat patients.

Natural Healing For Health Problems

Help For Sleep

Sleeping for 8 hours has been a challenge for me. In the afternoon, I like to drink Chamomile tea which is an herbal tea that will help relax the nervous system. I also use Melatonin right at bedtime to help me rest. Our bodies can make Melatonin when we are in a sunny climate. If you are not able to get enough sunshine, Melatonin helps people sleep better.

Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is a plant that has been used for thousands of years to help burn victims. The green leaves produce a gel like substance that you can spread over burned skin.

Aloe Vera may also help people with these conditions:

  1. Anal Fissures
  2. Digestive Health
  3. Skin Health Including Acne
  4. Oral Health

Pain Relief

White Willow Bark is the main ingredient in the Pain Eraser product that Hope For Health Sells. Whenever the body has inflammation, people will notice pain if the case is severe.

In my most recent surgery in 2020, I was given a heavy sedative for pain relief from the surgical scars. I did not like the nauseated feeling I got. I was able to get off the prescription drug medications as soon as possible. I started using Pain Eraser and have had good results with Natural Healing For Health Problems.

Peak Systemic Enzymes

Natural Healing For Health ProblemsSystemic Enzymes are more important than vitamins. Every single biological function in the human body depends on enzymes. Systemic enzymes go to work at night while you are resting and help your body repair itself.

Enzymes help to build and maintain overall health. They may be taken to address specific issues, but just as often are used to promote prevention and provide general body support. Supported processes include the breakdown of excess mucus, fibrin, many toxins, allergens, and clotting factors. Systemic Enzymes also help the immune system response by helping white blood cell efficiency.

VelociTea

Our world is very toxic now. As I write this, my wife Patricia and I are visiting her family in Southern Chile. The family’s property is next to a busy city street. Vehicle emissions are bombarding our lungs daily.

VelociTeaWhat can we do to help our body cleanse toxins that we take in from the food we eat, the air we breathe and the water we drink?

VelociTea is a gentle blend of five herbs that are safe to use daily. Nine out of ten people get a significant result from using the medicinal tonic after just one day.

VelociTea helps remove toxins from the soft tissues of your body including:

  1. Colon
  2. Digestive Tract
  3. Kidneys
  4. Liver
  5. Lungs

Welcome to How to Know the Truth from the Bible post. Truth is the highest form of reality. Truth hurts at times. King Herod asked Jesus Christ in John 18:38: “What Is Truth”?

How to Know the TruthHow to Know the Truth

1. John 7:17
If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority.

2. 1 Corinthians 2:9-12
But as it is written:
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

3. Luke 24:27
Beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.
A. We need to be willing to do God’s Will.
B. We need to be in prayer for Guidance.
C. We need to interpret scripture with scripture.

This is how we know we are in God’s truth and seeking His Will. God wants us to live in HIS Will, not ours. Here is a great message from Mark Finley about How to Pray Like Jesus.

Many Christians are preaching humanistic doctrines like God loves the gays, we should just love them and accept them as they are. Yes, God loves them but the Bible says the gay lifestyle is an abomination to God. HE will destroy the sin that many people are living in. He loves the sinner but HATES the sin.

How to Know the Truth

In my own life, the truth has set me free. I struggled with sin in my life and had one foot in the church and one foot in the world. I am not perfect now. I am making progress day by day with the Holy Spirit working in my life to keep revealing more truth to me.

Hope you have enjoyed reading How to Know the Truth. For more spiritual messages, please visit my archived messages link below. There are hundreds of messages from all over the world waiting for you.

Our Make Changes With God’s Power, Not Human post helps people achieve goals or resolutions. Read on to learn the four simple principles. Pastor Mark Finley shares scriptures from the Book of Philippians to show how the Apostle Paul points out how to claim God’s Power in our lives.

Make Changes With Gods Power

Make Changes With God’s Power

1. Walk Worthy of Your Call. God Called You. Please God In All You Do
2. Open Your Heart to God, Cooperate With God
3. Move Forward & Believe the Impossible, Don’t Look Back
4. Rejoice God Is Giving You Victory, Attitude Is Your Altitude

Here are the scriptures in the 4 chapters of Philippians.

1. Philippians 1:27
Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel.

2. Philippians 2:12-13
Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

3. Philippians 3:13-14
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

4. Philippians 4:4
Rejoice in the Lord, Always, Again I Say Rejoice.

We make the choice, God gives us the strength. If you want to lose weight, do it for God’s Glory, not yours. Make Changes With God’s Power works!

John Wesley was an evangelist in England. He stated four principles he wanted to live by.

  • Resolve to live with all my might
  • Never lose a moment of time, improve every hour
  • Never do anything I despise or would cause resentment from other people
  • Never do anything I would be afraid to do if it was last hour of my life

Make Changes With Gods PowerPastor Finley set a goal to read the Conflict of the Ages Series by Ellen White. That series has about 3500 pages so he is reading 5 pages in the morning and 5 pages in the evening.

When we really want something bad enough, we make time for it. For years now, I get up early enough to be able to get my spiritual and physical exercises done before I start working on business. Let me know if I can help you!

How to Offer Hope to an Atheist is a message that was given on Sabbath, 24 October 2015 at Whipple Creek Seventh-day Adventist Christian Church by Gerry Wagoner. He and his wife have a Christian Relationship Counseling Ministry.

How to Offer Hope to an Atheist

How to Offer Hope to an AtheistGerry began his message with the message about Repentance from the Prophet Joel.
Joel 2:12
A Call to Repentance
“Now, therefore,” says the Lord,
“Turn to Me with all your heart,
With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.”
Relationships are extremely important in life. In the Old Testament, people tore their garments when they were in repentance for their sins. Today we need to rend our hearts, not our garments.
In John 18 Peter denies that he knows Jesus three times. Here was one of Jesus’ closest disciples denying his relationship with Jesus.
In the Bible there is Wisdom that solves every single problem human beings can have:
1. Addictions
2. Financial
3. Grief
4. Illness
5. Marriage
6. Relationships in General
Finding ways to communicate the Gospel in this secular world to reach the person’s heart. Ask a non believer this question: Has your life turned out the way you thought it should?
Offer the person the Hope available in the Bible. Divorce is much harder than a couple rending their heart & turning to God for healing. Saving a marriage requires change. Our hearts are what needs to be fixed.
There is a place to speak, a place to listen, and a place to be quiet.
1. Seek God in His Word ( Bible ) Daily.
2 Talk to God ( Prayer ) Daily.
3. Second Coming of Jesus Christ is upon us now. Be prepared to run toward Jesus, not away from Him. He has a special place for you.
Hope you have enjoyed reading How to Offer Hope to an Atheist post. Many people have been damaged by religion. If we focus on what the Bible says, we can offer hope to anyone, including atheists as Gerry showed us in his sermon.
Daniel Parsons Comment:
What if you met me today and I told you that you could earn a million dollars? Would you be interested in listening to me or would you close your mind?
How to Offer Hope to an AtheistIf atheism and macro evolution is true, we are here on this earth for a short time and then turn back into ashes eventually. There would be no need of an Infinite God. Creation theory would just be a fairy tale.
If there is a slight chance that there is a Supreme Infinite Creator God, what would you lose by investigating for yourself? You would be gaining eternity for your soul if Jesus Christ is who HE says HE is.
Consider and ponder on this thought. The ultimate display of Love is that God gives you free will and choice. HE could have made robots to run around on the earth. The Bible tells us that you and I are created in HIS Image.
Oh taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man that trusts in HIM. Psalms 34:8

Get Your Sleep is one of the most important health topics in our Medical Missionary work.

Get Your Sleep

A recent three-year study based on Australian workers, showed the association between poor sleep quality and quantity with higher “presenteeism” – the state of reduced productivity even though present.  The study, released by the Resilience Institute followed 16,000 people in 250 organizations, 43.3 per cent of respondents ranked high on questions relating to tiredness and fatigue.

Get Your Sleep

“Sleep and rest are vital to our health and well-being,” says Stuart Taylor, founder of the Resilience Institute. “A lack of sleep can show up in a variety of ways. Co-ordination, attention, decision-making and impulse control all suffer, while cardiovascular risk, blood pressure, metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes, and immune system dysfunction increase.” One in eight women in the USA are affected by Breast Cancer.

Artificial light, heating, electronics and sleep debt are among the factors disrupting our body clocks. “Our circadian rhythm is a 24.5-hour cycle built into our suprachiasmatic nucleus. Sitting just behind the eyes, this clock is regulated by light, particularly requiring the blue light in the early hours of the day to effectively reset. When we wake our body temperature rises, cortisol is released, blood pressure rises, testosterone peaks and we are alert, coordinated and effective.

During the day we build up adenosine, which in high levels increases our propensity for sleep. The longer we are alert, the deeper our delta-wave sleep. After 7:00 pm our body temperature drops, at 9:00 pm melatonin secretion begins and we drop into a deep sleep somewhere between 10:00 pm and 02:00 am. Growth hormone is active during this stage, facilitating repair, growth and immunity.”

REM Sleep is essential to memory and emotional intelligence, according to Taylor, but a good night’s sleep also rejuvenates our cells, builds muscle and repairs the brain.

Here are some tips to rest well at night.

1. Commit to a regular wake-up time. Rise at dawn if possible.
2. Get vigorous exercise early in the day
3. Power-nap for 15 minutes after lunch
4. Avoid caffeine after 2:00 pm ( best to eliminate )
5. Have an early and light evening meal
6. Limit alcohol and protein intake  ( best to eliminate alcohol )
7. Ditch TV, laptops and gadgets after 7:00 pm (or two hours before bedtime)
8. Cool, darken, quiet your bedroom
9. Make your bedroom an electronic-free zone
10. Develop a relaxation routine before sleep
11. Discharge sleep debt by going to bed early, rather than sleeping in
12. Aim for seven to eight hours of sleep each night

“Quietude, rest, sleep, careful diet, cheerful surroundings, and plenty of sleep will be essential.” Manuscript Release, Vol 18, page 212 by Ellen White

“Those who are employed to write and to speak the Word should attend fewer committee meetings. They should entrust many minor matters to men of business ability, and thus avoid being kept on a constant strain that robs the mind of its natural vigor. They should give far more attention to the preservation of physical health; for vigor of mind depends largely upon vigor of body. Proper periods of sleep and rest and an abundance of physical exercise are essential to health of body and mind. To rob nature of her hours for rest and recuperation, by allowing one man to do the work of four, or of three, or even of two, will result in irreparable loss.”  Gospel Workers, page 422 by Ellen White

Bring back the America that I knew when I was growing up in the 1960’s. I was a student at Chadwell Elementary School in Madison, Tennessee. I started writing this post in 2015. Today is 19 January 2021 and most of the world has lost respect for fellow human beings, society as a whole and of course government at all levels.

Bring Back the America That I Knew

Bring Back the America That I Knew

Believe it or not, this is how life was in the 1960’s. God, please Bring Back the America That I Knew.

1. Prayer was allowed in school.
2. We walked almost 2 miles each way to school. There were no overweight children.
3. We wore appropriate clothes in the appropriate way & did not have tattoos covering our body.
4. We said Yes, Mrs. Bucy or Yes, Mr. Almond and respected authority.
5. We said the Pledge of Allegiance each morning to our Flag without worrying about the ACLU bringing up a lawsuit about: “One Nation, Under God”.
6. If we got in trouble, we met the Board of Education ( PADDLE ) after a review of why we were sitting in the Principal’s Office. I had to bend over & meet that Board one time & I learned my lesson never to return to meet the Board of Education again.
7. We ate home cooked meals at the table with the entire family & said a Blessing before we ate what God had provided.
8. We carried our Bibles to church.
9. In the Congress of the United States, Republicans and Democrats respected each other. Negotiations were common in getting the laws of the land passed.
10. When a neighbor was in need, the community came together to help. This still happens in some communities but we also see many signs of man being a lover of himself and only being concerned about himself.

Foods That Boost Immune System post is extremely important in the world today. Have you ever seen a nutrition label on an apple, a beet, or a carrot?

Foods That Boost Immune System

Foods That Boost Immune System

A strong immune system helps to keep a person healthy. Can specific foods boost the immune system? Yes, read our top ten list below.

The immune system consists of organs, cells, tissues, and proteins. Together, these carry out bodily processes that fight off pathogens, which are the viruses, bacteria, and foreign bodies that cause infection or disease.

When the immune system comes into contact with a pathogen, it triggers an immune response. The immune system releases antibodies, which attach to antigens on the pathogens and kill them.

Incorporating specific foods into the diet may strengthen a person’s immune response. Read on to discover foods that boost the immune system. I use all of the foods in the list below.

1. Camu Camu

Camu CamuCamu Camu strengthens our immune system, it’s antibacterial, anti-fungal; it improves memory and brain health, and makes an amazing addition to your family’s health . Camu Camu contains 56 times more vitamin C than a lemon and 60 times more vitamin C than an orange.

Whole Wellness Club has a product that contains Organic Camu Camu.

2. Blueberries

Blueberries are considered a superfood, and can help maintain healthy bones, reduce blood pressure, manage diabetes, and ward off heart disease. They have been shown to protect against cancer, and can also help maintain bone strength.

3. Turmeric

Turmeric is a yellow spice that many people use in cooking. It is also present in some alternative medicines. Consuming turmeric may improve a person’s immune response. This is due to the qualities of curcumin, a compound in turmeric. Curcumin has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

4. Broccoli

Foods That Boost Immune System

Broccoli is an edible green plant in the cabbage family. It is loaded with enzymes, minerals and vitamins. Multiple small studies have shown that eating cruciferous vegetables like Broccoli may protect against certain types of cancer.

5. Spinach

Spinach is a super food that has dietary fiber. It is loaded with carotenoids, flavonoids, minerals, and vitamins. Spinach is a good source of Vitamins C and E.

6. Garlic

Garlic is a species in the onion genus, Allium. It has been used for thousands of years to flavor food and as a natural medicine. Allicin is a chemical that is released when you chop a clove of raw garlic. Studies show that Allicin is anti viral.

Whole Wellness Club has the Camu-cin Product that contains 300 mg of Allisure Allicin Powder. One veggie capsule gives you the allicin yield of eating 37 cloves of raw garlic without the odor on your breath! You can find more information about the product in my Camu Camu section above.

7. Almonds

Strengthen Immune System Through a Faith Community is a post about how to help your health. If you ever had any interest in baseball, you have heard of Ty Cobb. Here is a summary of Ty Cobb’s life according to Wikipedia:

Ty Cobb nicknamed “The Georgia Peach,” was an American Major League Baseball outfielder. He was born in The Narrows, Georgia, a small rural community of farmers that was not an official city or village at the time. Cobb spent 22 seasons with the Detroit Tigers, the last six as the team’s player-manager, and finished his career with the Philadelphia Athletics. In 1936 Cobb received the most votes of any player on the inaugural Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, receiving 222 out of a possible 226 votes.

Strengthen Immune System Through a Faith CommunityCobb is widely credited with setting 90 Major League Baseball records during his career. He still holds several records as of 2013, including the highest career batting average (.366 or .367, depending on source) and most career batting titles with 11 (or 12, depending on source).

Ty Cobb was very successful as far as being a great baseball player and used his fame and money to become very wealthy. At the end of his life, he was all alone. He checked into Emery Hospital in the summer of 1961 bringing with him a paper bag with $1 million in bonds and a pistol. He had been diagnosed with prostrate cancer, diabetes, and high blood pressure in 1959. He told his family that did come to the hospital that he had no regrets. He had lived hard and played hard.

Ty Cobb was living in the bottom of the ninth inning ( last inning of play in a baseball game ) of his life. Ty Cobb was witnessed to by a Christian during his final hospital stay. This is a Salvation Prayer that is based on the Bible.

Salvation Prayer

Strengthen Immune System Through a Faith CommunityDear God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness.

I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin.

You said in Your Holy Word, Romans 10:9 that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved.

Right now I confess Jesus as the Lord of my soul. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved.

Thank you Jesus for your unlimited grace which has saved me from my sins. I thank you Jesus that your grace never leads to license, but rather it always leads to repentance. Therefore Lord Jesus transform my life so that I may bring glory and honor to you alone and not to myself.

Thank you Jesus for dying for me and giving me eternal life.
Amen.

Strengthen Immune System Through a Faith Community

Ty Cobb made a statement on his hospital bed that he wished he had not waited until the end of his life to accept spiritual help. He said if he could change one thing in his life, it would be to accept Jesus Christ as His Savior in the first inning of his life so that he would have known the peace and grace that Jesus offers.

My website or blog is all about Wellness. I realized today that I had never posted about the Spiritual part of life. Our lives consist of four major areas:

Spiritual

Physical

Emotional

Mental

I was 34 years old when I cried out to God for help. The help came very quickly as I have had everything I have needed on a daily basis since that day.

I had wasted over 16 or so years abusing my body with alcohol, cigarettes and some drug abuse when I called out for help. I used anything I could find that would ease the pain that my life had become. Of course I did not start life off that way as a child but it is my experience. By following a daily prayer life and asking God to guide my life since 1994, I have been able to experience a life beyond my wildest dreams.

Strengthen Immune System Through a Faith CommunityI found peace and serenity to deal with the stress of life. I no longer run from any problems I have. I also learned how to take care of my body in 1998 when I quit smoking and began to lose weight. I enjoy doing some exercise on a daily basis and frequently go for bike rides. I also enjoy a minimum of 30 minute walks everyday. I no longer use food to kill any current pain and do my best to eat a very healthy vegetarian diet.

Because many people have inquiring minds, I did some research on this issue after hearing a program on Three Angels Broadcasting  this morning. Researchers at Duke University in North Carolina randomly sampled 4,000 adults and tracked church attendance for three different years. You can read the full study on Duke’s website below:

How Church Attendance Contributes to a Stronger Immune System

I made a video about why I am an active church member in a Christian community. My faith has grown deeper as I have learned more from studying God’s Word in the Bible.

Many people think the Bible is a bunch of fables and fairy tales. The fact of the matter is the Holy Bible is the most published book in history. I have seen the power of prayer work in many people’s lives. I have seen the power of prayer work in my own life. I like spelling prayer like this:

P = Praise God for His Goodness to Us

R = Remember How God Has Provided

A = Ask for God to Provide for Your Needs According to His Will

Y = Yield to the Holy Spirit Working In Your Life

Saturday Is SabbathThe reason I attend church all day on the Sabbath Day ( Saturday ) and on Wednesday evening Bible Study is the fellowship with other believers strengthens me. I no longer desire to have things my way, live in self-will and be self-centered. I am not perfect now but I have matured and am much stronger in my faith now than I was when I first was baptized by immersion as a member of Christ body of believers!

In Hebrews 10:24-25 Paul wrote:

Let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

In Acts 2, you will see that as the Christians gathered, they were filled with the Holy Spirit. Later in the chapter three thousand souls were added to God’s church in just one day.

In Acts 4:31 the Word of God says:

When they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

If I think I can be a strong Christian without going to church, I am in trouble. Satan knows my weak points and just waits to trip me up. Say the Name Jesus Christ and Satan gets mad. Open up the Word of God and read and study your Bible and you will make Satan extremely mad.

Prophecies About Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of over 300 prophecies concerning the first coming of the promised Messiah. The Book of Daniel contains prophetic time prophecies about the second coming of Jesus Christ. Jesus was crucified at the exact time it was prophesied in the Holy Bible. The temple curtain was rent in two from top to bottom as recorded in Matthew 27:51.

Prophecies About Jesus Christ

Prophecies About Jesus ChristIn Acts 7, Stephen was stoned to death in the year 34 AD. This act was the end of the 7 Years and the 70th Week since Jesus Christ was baptized by John the Baptist. After Stephen’s death, the Gospel Was Preached to the Gentiles.

In the 1800’s there were two groups of people. One group believed in Biblical Authority and the other was based on Emotional Authority. The Bible is meant to be bread for Daily Use, not cake for special occasions.

Second Great Awakening happened when farmer William Miller started preaching the Prophecy Message of the Book of Daniel. The message went viral. Revival came to North America. The Second Coming of Christ was most important thing in life.

The day of disappointment happened on 23 October 1844 when Jesus did not come in the clouds of glory. A great question to ask yourself is would you have been a part of the Advent movement or would you have mocked the believers like many people did?

The Advent movement had the right time but the wrong event. Instead of Jesus returning to take His believers with Him, the Investigative Judgment had begun in heaven.

God is leading people from all over the world to join His Church. The Advent Movement is all about studying God’s Word in the Bible.

There are three reasons that people do not take the Baptism Step after attending an Evangelism Series.

1. Moral Issue – could be any secret activity like alcohol use, cigarette smoking, drug use, pornography issue, etc. These people cannot see themselves living the Christian Life.
2. Negotiating with God – need a job or healing or some other request
3. No Connection with People – looking to establish friendships

Be supportive of people that have not taken the baptism step. A good question to ask is: “Could it be that God wants to show you something?” I have learned much about how to evangelize people I meet from my wife Patricia. She has served Jesus Christ faithfully by becoming friends with people and then ask them if they want to study the Bible.

Remember that Abraham obeyed God without wavering. He knew God always provided.

Second Coming of Jesus Christ

Millennium 1000 Years of Peace is our fifteenth Study. This week’s topic covers the Scriptures that talk about all the Millennium 1000 Years of Peace Texts. Everything happens when Jesus Christ returns according to the Holy Bible.

Millennium 1000 Years of PeaceBible Marking allows you do studies right out of your Bible with another person seeking the truth. Highlighting scripture will make sharing the studies simpler. Colored pencils work best because they will allow you to highlight texts without having magic marker ink bleeding through your pages.

I found it best to just draw a thin line under the verse with the color you selected for that Bible Topic. Some verses will be in several Topics so being creative is important.

There will be weekly updates on my blog here as I attend Sabbath School each week at the Seventh-day Adventist Community Church of Vancouver, Washington.

Pastor Roger Walter is the lead Pastor, and he is working with Pastor Ryan Whitehead to take the church through scripture study each Sabbath morning. Marking classes are important after Evangelism meetings as people sometimes can be overwhelmed from learning so much truth in just a short amount of time.

The Seventh-day Adventist Christian Church is a movement to get people back into Scripture. When we study Scripture, we are doing what Jesus did. Having the word in our hearts is paramount in the times we now live in.

Millennium 1000 Years of PeaceInstructions:
1. Choose a color to mark for the topic
2. Make a color mark in the back of a blank page
3. Beside the color mark, write the first scripture & page number
4. Turn to that first scripture. Highlight it with the color you have chosen
5. In the margin beside that scripture, put the next scripture reference & its page number
6. Repeat until the last scripture
7. Write the word “End” in the margin so you know there are no more scriptures

Example:

The Second Coming use a Blue Pencil

The Sabbath use a Red Pencil

Signs of the Second Coming use a Green Pencil

Prayer use a Purple Pencil

Example of SOAP

SOAPScripture: “What I tell in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear proclaim upon the housetops. Matthew 10:27

Observation: If I am not hearing Him in the darkness, what will I speak in the light? If I am not hearing Him whisper in my ear, what will I proclaim on the housetops?

Application: What a great word! This scripture reminds me to not only talk to God in prayer, but equally important is to hear Hime in prayer!

Prayer: Dear Jesus, help me to hear You today! I want to be still that I may hear Your Marching Orders for my day, for my week, for my life. Speak Lord! Your servant is listening!
