Today's Devotional: GOD'S HELPING HAND

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, 
and preach the gospel to every creature. 
Mark 16:15. 




"God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son." He "sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." John 3:16, 17. The love of God embraces all mankind. Christ, in giving the commission to the disciples, said: "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."  {FLB 247.2}

All who are ordained unto the life of Christ are ordained to work for the salvation of their fellow men. Their hearts will throb in unison with the heart of Christ. The same longing for souls that He has felt will be manifest in them. Not all can fill the same place in the work, but there is a place and a work for all. . . . Every gift is to be employed for the advancement of His kingdom and the glory of His name.  {FLB 247.3}

Christ desires to use the youth in His service. He needs missionaries. The barren fields all over the world call to heaven for laborers. If the youth will give themselves to God, He will give them wisdom and knowledge, preparing them for service. If they will consecrate themselves to Him, He will make them vessels unto honor, into which He can pour the precious oil of the Spirit, to be imparted to others. God's helping hand--this is what you may be if you will yield yourselves to His keeping.  {FLB 247.4}

To everyone who offers himself to the Lord for service, withholding nothing, is given power for the attainment of measureless results. For these God will do great things.  {FLB 247.5}

To young men and young women, as well as to those who are older, God will give power from above. With converted minds, converted hands, converted feet, and converted tongues, their lips touched with a living coal from the divine altar, they will go forth into the Master's service, moving steadily onward and upward, carrying the work forward to completion. {FLB 247.6}

Sabbath School Lesson for the Third Quarter of 2013 Now Available for Download

Recent technological advances have changed the way information is produced, consumed, and shared in ways that may have been unimaginable in decades past. Used with an eye single to the glory of God, these advances are wonderful instruments for sharing the treasures of the Gospel and the upbuilding of God’s kingdom.

With these technologies becoming more and more available, we have decided to try and keep up by producing digital versions of our publications. It is quite an endeavor, and thus would have to be done in increments. One of the first to be given attention is the Sabbath School Lesson, which we began to distribute as an ebook during the second half of the past quarter.

From this quarter on, however, the digital and the print versions will be released simultaneously. The lesson in pdf is now available for free download here. Click on the Menu button at the bottom of the file to display Download and Print options. Or  the Full Screen button just beside it for online reading. A widget has also been added to the top of our sidebar.



The digital version is perfect for smartphones, tablets, ebook readers, and personal computers so you'll have the lesson with you everywhere you go. And because it's paper-free, we've been able to add pictures and illustrations that are not on the print version.

This quarter’s lesson is the first of a three-part study of the inspired book, Christ’s Object Lessons by Ellen G. White. The book itself is a compilation of Christ’s Parables with inspired explanations and elaborations.

We also invite you to listen to and even download the sermons we feature on this blog which are also accessible through the sidebar or by the Audio Sermons tab.

If you desire more materials, please do not hesitate to leave a comment or email.

We hope you are blessed by the materials that we share.
