God is at the head of the work, and He will set everything in order. If matters need adjusting at the head of the work, God will attend to that, and work to right every wrong. Let us have faith that God is going to carry the noble ship which bears the people of God safely into port.” - EG White.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18196538401545485763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4849880221463921104.post-59337286745211209592018-10-15T20:58:13.406-07:002018-10-15T20:58:13.406-07:00Thoughtful and wise words.

Faith stays and meets the challenges before it.

I'll be disappointed with any organisation I join.

The one main flaw (as I see it) in the 48 years that I have been a member is the overwhelming mood of arrogance from our hierarchy. This puzzles me as we have such a sweet, relevant, self-revealing message to share with the world. I am in the 11th reading of the Bible and we seem to be eager to relive the mistakes of Israel over and over. Take heart and keep the faith - we are the Laodiceans and Jesus is coming soon.<br />end time Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00168088475793580165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4849880221463921104.post-22071338463313701052018-10-15T04:59:41.975-07:002018-10-15T04:59:41.975-07:00Leaving the church wont help, we must take our sta...Leaving the church wont help, we must take our stand on the Lord side, Jesus is in the midst of Her and His will, will be done.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911472220945324148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4849880221463921104.post-90783235983120649482018-10-14T23:18:32.323-07:002018-10-14T23:18:32.323-07:00Couldn't have said it better, Laura.

I take serious the Bible's call that we be watchmen on the walls. It's time to find an honorable person to replace our fearless leader. I firmly believe I see the hands of Satan behind this. Bullying and browbeating and trying to force everyone to comply to the dictates of a handful of hand-picked men in Silver Springs is not in the great Protestant tradition, nor according to the council of the spirit of prophecy. PERIOD!<br /><br />I aim to misbehave (by Ted Wilson's standards). It's time to sound the trumpet and call out the sin of arrogance and power grabbing for what it is and who inspires it.<br /><br />If Elder Wilson is going to call for public shaming of church leaders who disagree with him, then what is sauce for the goose is definitely sauce for the gander. And like you, I will not be leaving. I will stand and fight for my church.Tom Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16700342512275624543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4849880221463921104.post-17291922215806292302018-10-14T19:39:11.070-07:002018-10-14T19:39:11.070-07:00Thank you Laura.
