Guest Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 Hey, Let me know if you or your Sabbath School teacher made it to Thursday's section (The Commission) of lesson #13. From my experience most of the time the class rarely gets past Wednesday's section. Ya know..Thursday's section dealt with the outreach theme. So part of the further study was Desire of Ages..and the "Go Teach All Nations" ch 86 was very interesting...especially a section on pg 825.. ---------------. "Divine love has been stirred to its unfathomable depths for the sake of men, and angels marvel to behold in the recipients of so great love a mere surface gratitude. Angels marvel at man's shallow appreciation of the love of God. Heaven stands indignant at the neglect shown to the souls of men. Would we know how Christ regards it? How would a father and mother feel, did they know that their child, lost in the cold and the snow, had been passed by, and left to perish, by those who might have saved it? Would they not be terribly grieved, wildly indignant? Would they not denounce those murderers with wrath hot as their tears, intense as their love? The sufferings of every man are the sufferings of God's child, and those who reach out no helping hand to their perishing fellow beings provoke His righteous anger. This is the wrath of the Lamb. To those who claim fellowship with Christ, yet have been indifferent to the needs of their fellow men, He will declare in the great Judgment day, "I know you not whence ye are; depart from Me, all ye workers of iniquity." Luke 13:27. " I read this in class.. Quote

Guest Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 Thanks for the reply Nico Hmm.. I guess her secretary forgot to edit out that offensive, obnoxious, guilt trip stuff.. When you get to that chapter in the Desire of Ages study group...make sure you mention that again... Quote
