Seventh-Day Adventist
Good morning friends, neighbors
and family. It is a beautiful spring
day and time for me to visit you
again. It is good to be able to have
my computer working; I missed
very much not being able to talk to
you about the wonderful way our
Lord is working in our churches
today. More and more we can see
how quickly time is bringing events
o the final day when our Lord will
return the second time, to gather His
chosen ones together so those who
are ready can leave this evil world
of sin and go home with Him. It is
very important that Christians
everywhere make the right decision
and choose to serve our Creator and
give up the world and it’s tarnished
treasures for an eternity with the
One Who gave His precious life for
those He created who want to fol
low the pathway of the cross and be
with Him. The only way that leads
to that home above is through that
cross and the blood that Jesus shed
for all sinners who ask His forgive
ness and truly love and accept Him
as their Savior. Time is running out
folks. All signs in the Bible point to
the end of this earth’s history and
the fate of non-believers. Only those
who believe, practice His works and
obey His words will be saved.
Come worship with us as our
Pastor Dale teaches us from God’s
Holy Word what we need to know
to be ready for that glorious day.
Our services begin at 9:30 and end
at noon at 600 Burnt Mtn. Rd. every
Sabbath. Remember Jesus loves you
and He will return soon.
