"as you see the Day
approaching " the day that is fast approaching is that of the return of the
Christ. We have begun the count down to his return, we are but only
years (approximately 10) away and that is why evil forces are at hand to
prevent churches from opening or singing and praying out loud during
covid 19. It is not for your safety but to prevent you from being close
to God and encouraging one another to get through these trying times..
Food For Thought: Disagreement even on minor points of doctrine doesn't have to divide the Church. Finding a place to fellowship can be very difficult for Sabbath Keepers, and unfortunately, most Sabbath Keepers tend to be very intolerant of those who do not understand the scriptures in the exact same way they do. Instead of looking for a congregation where they are in 100% doctrinal agreement, you should look for a place where you can worship, serve and be served unto the Lord, and where there is a true evidence of love for one another.
(Lu 9:49-50) " And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us."
There can and will be variation between individuals beliefs,
and that is OK, as long as it does not go against the absolutes of scripture,
or teaching against what the Bible says.
Jesus taught that the true church would be a “little flock” (Luke 12:32), hated by the world (Matthew 10:22), and persecuted (Matthew 10:23). He also taught
that only a few would find the way to eternal life (Matthew 7:14; 20:16). Jude indicates that the number of saints was relatively small (Jude 14), while
Paul called the small group a “remnant” (Romans 11:5).
Unfortunately there exist in the minds of some brethren in various Sabbath groups a mistrust, and hostility toward other Sabbath groups. Our hope, is that should you run into one of these groups you will not be discouraged, but will continue towards the goal of knowing and pleasing the Lord.
