The Sanctuary is the Rest of the Reformation

Pastor Michael Horton makes a powerful argument that the heavenly sanctuary continues the Protestant Reformation—that the sanctuary is based on a “relationship” between God and His exodus people as well as us today. He did a deep study for this in his doctoral thesis, but he presents the topic comfortably to novices and those new to the subject. The program will be aired Fridays at 1 p.m. and repeated on Saturdays at 5 p.m.

Village Variety Hour
Highlights

Here are some picture from last Saturday's Village Seventh-day Adventist Church Strong Tower Radio Variety Hour. One of the most unusual numbers was a Thailand pastor who played a hymn on a plant leaf. The native people used leaves to signal like drum beats, smoke signals, or animal calls in native culture.

Pastor Ron Kelly and our own Kam Ferguson hosted the event. Local talent included the Suncoast Singers, the church school students, organ, strings vocals, and more. Our next "Variety Hour" will be December 11th in Gladwin, Michigan. Plan to join us then.

Speak the Truth in Love

    Today, many would see Jesus as a racist when He told the Samaritan woman, “. . .we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.” Most people would object to Jesus saying that a Gentile’s faith exceeded any of those in Israel (John 4:22).

    Isaiah 29:21 says that in the last days people will “…make a man an offender for a word....” We are experiencing these things today. When Jesus made these statements, He always spoke truth in love and revealed what was missing in people’s lives. He did not call one group better than another!

    Salvation was truly of the Jews. Through the Jewish people, Jesus incarnated into humanity. Keep listening as Jesus continues by telling the Samaritan woman, “The hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth.” Jesus went to the heart of the matter every time, identifying what was missing. Samaritans and Jews alike were worshipping God their own way, not in spirit and in truth.
    
   Identifying right from wrong discriminates. To discriminate means to recognize a difference. Will we fear to speak the truth in love or call sin by its right name because of how some respond?
   We need great faith and wisdom. We need the mind of Christ, too. We must have His Word abiding in us through the Holy Spirit.

    STR broadcasts the everlasting gospel to a world in need of truth, spoken in love. As with Jesus’ earthly ministry, some hearers will be drawn, while others will be offended. We praise God for moving upon your mind and heart to support STR with your varied resources including much prayer. May the Holy Spirit take your gifts and multiply them greatly in the currency of souls today.
