Am I Confessing Christ?

The only way this is possible is if Christ is abiding in my heart. If this is truly my experience, my words and behavior will be in harmony with His.

Organization in the Work of God’s People

The living stones of God’s temple are to be fitly framed together as a habitation to the Lord, rather than roaming about as wandering stars. Since Christ is the Vine and we are the branches, we are connected with Him as the Head and our fellow believers, together with us, form the rest of the body.

Not Forsaking the Assembly

As God’s people meet together with the precious assurance of His presence, we cherish the help He has provided for us. He appeals to us to consider one another and support each other in the upward path. In harmony of labor and action, the church prospers.

Why Do We Have General Conference Delegations?

God has ordained that the assembly of representatives around the world shall have authority. Heaven is orderly—and unity of faith among believers from varying backgrounds and cultures gives evidence of the love of Christ in our hearts.

Messages to Councils

Every delegation is a landmark and a call for heart-searching. At this time in history, the people of God are beset with intensifying dangers from the world, the flesh and the devil. How important it is that we labor together in humble submission to our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ!

Reverence

The Majesty of the universe alone deserves our utmost reverence. And as we assemble in large congregations, especially, how important it is that we keep in mind this principle. The presence of the Lord is in His temple; let all the earth keep silent before Him.

A Blessed Land

Brazil, the site of the 23rd SDARM General Conference, is blessed with a rich and interesting history—especially as it relates to the rise and progress of the growth of our denomination here.

That They May Be One

New territories are entered and new goals reached as God’s people press together in unity. The theme of the Spiritual Meetings of the 23rd General Conference provides food for thought and reminds us of the earnest desire of our Lord, that we may be one as He is with the Father.

Experiences with God in Brazil

The Lord tenderly draws and leads His children, as the song says: “Some through the waters, some through the flood; some through the fire, but all through the blood; Some through great sorrow, but God gives a song, in the night seasons and all the day long.”

Friends of Agriculture

The call to country living and all it entails is a blessed one. And what a privilege it is for the church to be involved in teaching the vital principles of agriculture to those eager to learn!

Living in Unity

Living in unity means living in truth. Christ as the Way, the Truth, and the Life, can help both us and our friends to understand the right way to live—and give us power to do it!
