Happy Sabbath

[thecountrydoc]

Wishing each of you a very happy Sabbath and God's peace.​

INNER PEACE
By Vernon Grounds​

"Be courteous; not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing" 1 Peter 3:8

How do we react to hostile criticism? If it causes us to angrily strike back at out critics, we need to learn from colonial preacher Jonathan Edwards. (1703-1758)

Regarded by scholars as an insightful philosopher, Edwards was vindictively attacked by the ruling body of his church in Northampton, Massachusetts. They felt he was wrong to teach that a person needed to be born again before taking part in the Lord’s Supper.

Although he was dismissed from his church, Edwards still maintained a loving and forgiving attitude. One supportive member wrote of him, " I never saw the least symptoms of displeasure in his countenance. . . , but he appeared like a man of God, whose happiness was out of the reach of his enemies."

Edwards was simply copying the example of the Lord Jesus. When the Savior was insulted, He did not repay with an insult. When He was falsely denounced, He remained silent "as a sheep before its shearers is silent" (Isa.57:3).

Do you have inner peace even when criticized? As you ask the Holy Spirit for His help, you can, as Edwards did, respond in a Christlike way to false accusations or gossip.

Hi higgi, Happy Sabbath and welcome to the wonderful world of computers!

I don't know of any live SDA chat rooms anymore. Yahoo chat used to have one, but all of their "private" rooms were shut down.

Happy Sabbath guys.

Had an amazing day. Very very productive. I didn't even know I could get that much done, but by God's grace alone I did. And now I can rest happy tomorrow!

It certainly does come around quick. A few hours and the Sabbath will be here.

Happy Sabbath to everyone.

1.) Are any of you using the New Daily Sabbath School Lesson Study in the Bible Study sub-forum?

2. Would any of you like to have other SS Lessons posted, ie., Young Adult, Youth, and lower age group SS Lessons?

Please let us know by posting here or in the SS Lesson Study thread.

Your brother in Christ,
Doc

YAY, SABBATH STARTS TONIGHT!!!! I am so happy the week's over. Happy Sabbath to all!

Our Sabbath is over as well as the first day of teh week, all so fast.

If anyone in Australia or the South Pacific Division has a chance to have Pr Barry Crabtree come and speak at your Church, I suggest that you grab that chance with both hands.

He spoke at our Church yesterday and was very good. He used John 4 as his Scripture passage.

Hope you guys had a good Sabbath. Mine was a struggle. I can't wait to keep them in the Kingdom..where Satan doesn't try and ruin it.

Here we again starting out another Sabbath.

The good news is that it is raining, not real heavy but still rain.

Due to the drought in Australia we will take anything that even looks like rain now.

Sabbath is still several hours away from where I live.

HAPPY SABBATH to you and the others who are now in the hours of the Sabbath and to those of us who soon will be.
