 You Live Inside | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Success should be defined by our faithfulness and obedience to the Lord. Success will be defined when the forthcoming events prove whether our hearts were of stone or of flesh. "We do not belong to Christ unless we are His wholly. The effort to serve both self and Christ makes one a stony-ground hearer, and he will not endure when the test comes upon him," (COL, 50). Let us allow our Rock and our Salvation to work in us, to write His name and His law inside, to live inside so that the language of the soul may be, "Lord, take my heart; for I cannot give it. Keep it pure. Save me in spite of myself, my weak, unchristlike self," (COL, 159). Only with His strength will we endure the length of the Great Tribulation. Only with His heart will we keep the Ten Commandments, and only with His guidance will we be born again. Join us now to study more about these and other topics. 1.- Did Sabbath exist before creation ? 2.- What does the Bible say about eating a plant-based diet ? 3.- Will the tribulation take place while life goes on as normal ? 4.- When is a person born again ? 5.- What am I to do when offered unclean food ? 6.- Was lot worshiping angels in Genesis chapter 19 verse 1 ? 7.- Was the angel who made the waters move in the pool of Bethesda one of God's angels, or one of Satan's ? 8.- Will you please explain Romans chapter 3 verses 19 and 20 ? 9.- Did the Lord slay the lamb in Genesis chapter 3 verse 21, or did He show Adam how ? 10.- Is the Gregorian calendar the beast power trying to change times and laws ? 11.- Is the Time of Trouble and the Great Tribulation the same event ? 12.- How do you know if you have been saved, or born again ? 13.- Why is Jesus called the Son of David ? 14.- Are nations still in existence during the thousand years on Earth ? 15.- During Christ's time on Earth, what language did the Romans speak ? 16.- Is Leviticus chapter 7 verses 26 and 27, and chapter 17 verses 13 and 14, relevant for us today ? 17.- Did the fall of Lucifer happen before or after man was created, and why was he cast to Earth ? 18.- Are we being judged at this moment ? 19.- After Cain killed Abel, did Adam and Eve extend the same grace to Cain that God gave them ? 20.- What is the Bible's perspective on the death penalty ? 21.- Will there be animal sacrifices in the millennial reign and for all eternity ?

God has permitted a flood of light to be poured upon the world in discoveries in science. But even the greatest minds, if not guided by the Word of God, become bewildered in their attempts to investigate the relations of science and revelation, (HF, 322). Knowledge has increased exponentially more in the last 100 years than in all of the history of man combined ! Could this be a sign ? Look at where we are and what we are doing... In all regards, may we let our Father and Lord lead the way as this world's time expires. Tune in and study with us about Armageddon and its timeline. We'll also discuss the Second Coming, the first and second deaths described in the Bible, and very importantly, why the Sabbath is still to be observed today. 1.- Are the Armageddons referenced in Revelation chapters 16 and 20 the same event or different ? 2.- How can we know that Sabbath is Saturday ? 3.- Is Enoch really still alive ? 4.- Is using the name "Jesus" wrong since His name in Hebrew was different ? 5.- Why do I go to church on Sunday if Sunday is Resurrection Day ? 6.- How will every eye see Jesus' return if I'm blind ? 7.- Will you please explain why God permitted Jacob to build pillars when Scripture states that it is forbidden ? 8.- Were Adam and Eve created before Sabbath ? and when exactly was their wedding ? 9.- What does Deuteronomy 14 verse 26 mean ? 10.- Are the seven trumpets past, current or future events ? 11.- What would it mean if the River Euphrates dried up before the seven last plagues begin ? 12.- Will you please explain the “sin unto death” mentioned in 1 John 5 verse 16 ? 13.- Would dairy and eggs be considered vegetarian ? 14.- Can we actually rebuke demons through reading Scripture and prayer ? 15.- Why don't Seventh-day Adventists believe in speaking in tongues and dancing ? 16.- In regards to the second death, the Bible says God will send down fire. Is the fire literal, and are angels susceptible to it ? 17.- Is it okay to lend to people your tithe, if you do not have any cash to lend them ? 18.- Is it alright to read the Book of Enoch ? 19.- What does the Bible mean when it says, "and as many as have been appointed to eternal life believed"? Does that mean that God chooses who is saved and who is lost ?

 Running From the Daylight | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

If the erring one persistently refuses to heed the voice that calls him with pitying, tender love, he will at last be left in darkness. The heart that has long slighted God's mercy, becomes hardened in sin, and is no longer susceptible to the influence of the grace of God. Fearful will be the doom of that soul (PP, 165). When the Light comes on, on which side will you find yourself ? The wicked run from the light, the righteous run to the light... There's no time to waste; we must make our decision now. Study with us as the pastors discuss tribulations and times of trouble, and if prophecy has been fulfilled or is still to take place. 1.- How long will the tribulation last ? 2.- What is the true meaning of speaking in tongues ? 3.- Is it sun worship to keep the Sabbath according to the Gregorian calendar ? 4.- Will you please explain 2 Timothy 2 verse 15 ? 5.- In Psalms 60 verses 1-3, who were the unknown people David fought against ? 6.- What does the Bible mean when it states, "the man of sin will take his seat in the temple of God" ? 7.- How do we know that the falling of the stars in May 1780 is the dark day from Bible prophecy ? 8.- Does prophecy have a different meaning in the context of 1 Samuel 10 verse 10 ? 9.- How do we obtain deliverance from evil spirits ? 10.- Why is “wisdom” referenced in a feminine context in Proverbs 4, if Solomon is talking about the Holy Spirit ? 11.- If I have taken God’s name in vain and then asked for forgiveness, have I been forgiven ? 12.- Is it ever okay to threaten someone with violence if they are insulting a family member ? 13.- Is it idolatry for Christians to do the sign of the cross ? 14.- When did the Bible get divided into verses with punctuation added, and by whom ? 15.- Who wrote the Book of Romans ? 16.- Genesis 19 verse 8 refers to the daughters of Lot being virgins.

 It's Worth It for Now | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

If "our chastisements are our promotions," and if that which is gained after many a struggle is a full weighted blessing, and if "our heavenly Father measures and weighs every trial before He permits it to come upon" us... then everything we go through is worth it for now, and for eternity ! (C. Spurgeon, OHC, 323.) Let us then show the world that our God is worth ten thousand worlds to us (C.

 Something but the Past and Done | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

"As far as the East is from the West, so far has He removed our transgression from us." Sin is removed from us by a miracle of love ! And if sin be removed so far, then we may be sure that the scent, the trace, the very memory of it must be entirely gone; even Satan himself could not achieve to bring it back again. Our sins are gone, Jesus has borne them away ! (Charles Spurgeon) Join us as the pastors discuss how much God is willing to forgive more than we ask, and what God does with our broken promises. 1.- Is it okay to pray to the Holy Spirit ? 2.- The Bible says there will be an attempt to change times and laws.

 It's the Little Things | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

"Every act of life, however small, has its bearing for good or for evil... It is the little things that test the character;" it's the little things that our Father cares about (PP, 158). Listen in and learn with us the absoluteness of obedience, the meaning of habitual and willful sin, and very importantly, we'll delineate how to love God more. Put simply, we must in our intention give up all for Jesus, and in act, we must give up all to Jesus (C.H.S.). Neglecting little things can have catastrophic consequences, but, our Father deserves that nothing in our love for Him be little. “Love must be the principle of action,” (COL, 49); we will then be able to count it all joy indeed.

 Hello, He Lied | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

It's our responsibility in the end to believe or not believe God's word, because it's our choice.

 Apparently Nothing | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Tune in now as we discuss what part we can take in the special mission the Lord has given us to prepare the world for His return. We must show to be His, we must be hearers and doers, we must take Christ’s strength, we must tear away from the ignorance. The Lord throws us the obvious sometimes; we must see Him, and see through the enemy.

 Outside Gets Inside | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

The Christian enjoys the beauty of nature with the highest appreciation, for he recognizes his Father’s handiwork (SC, 87). The Christian confirms when under pressure whom he serves, for “what we have absorbed is what we will release,” (J. Reish). The Lord’s love is evidenced in His creation, the devil’s work in its decay. Who are we letting in ? What are we letting out ? May we redirect our focus to God, may we be subdued by His Spirit, may we place God first and let others see the Invisible within us, that He may be seen also without.

Then that power creates a new being in the image of Christ,” (2MCP, 760). We wait on God to rescue, to help; we wait on God to convict… we wait.
