I appreciate his comments on the sanctuary and it's importance around 57mins! Our small group has been studying our distinct doctrines through the eyes of the sanctuary for 3 years now. It's like an onion! What a rich heritage from the Lord through our pioneers!! I wish our whole church would be as interested as we are in the sactuary and it's importance. Thanks for uploading
I dont' know about anyone else, but I do well with structure. Sentiments don't always help as easily for me when decision making. If I have a structure, a road map, I can follow it carefully and when the benefits start kicking in, then those rewards encourage me, which in turn create the sentiments, and my faith is made whole. Some people just operate on feelings/emotions/passion in their faith/walk, and this carries them. I feel the strongest need for discipline, despite (or perhaps because of) not being raised in the church, or in faith. These practical instructions may seem burdensome or like a task to some, but to me they are the pathway to life. Thank you Brother Lemon. The same Spirit that moves in you moves in me, and it's addicting and marvelous! Glory be to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of all this wonder.
I just wish all the churches could hear this message, I believe its only when we love Jesus with all our heart mind and soul that we will be able to be practical do,....our carnal nature will never conform to all this we need real conversion to obey....
I'm all for the truth, regardless of who preaches it. I also believe it is very difficult if not nearly impossible for one preacher / organisation / denomination to preach the complete truth. Each one may prophess what they believe to be the truth, but it is vital for the keen truth seeker to learn to cut away what is real truth and what is opinion of men. I agree with nearly everything discussed by Dwayne Lemon. However I do tread cautiously around these quotations from Ellen G White and her CET manuscripts. We need to be careful how we interpret the words and opinions of men (and women) as the word of God. God I fear and respect. Ellen White I respect, but I have no obligation to her words and opinion. She may be the founder of 7th Day Adventist church, but she is not the author of the Sabbath. Hence we must careful how we treat her words as absolute truth. This is not an attack on her work and effort, but simply a warning to refrain from putting the words of men on a similar level to the words of God. Its the literal acceptance of the words of men over the words of God, that caused so much chaos in christianity, from sunday worship to the false idealogies of tithes and penancy.
+Baba Flexx hi! :) I do agree with you when you say we should be careful of how we accept words of men over the words of God. However, Matthew 7:16 states that "Ye shall know them by their fruits....". Isaiah 8:20 says "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." With that said, if whatever anyone preaches does not align with the Word of God then we should not adhere to it. We should endeavor to measure everything that everyone says to the plain words of God. There will be wolves in sheep's clothing but God will not be mocked, Amos 3:7 says "Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets." There will be men and women whom God will use in different areas of His service. He has left with us a guide, the Bible, to teach us the truth so that we may be able to discern God's prophets and ministers from the agents of the devil. God bless you as you seek Him and His truth so that you may not be destroyed by them that wish you harm. :) Hosea 4:1-6 1.Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. 2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood. 3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away. 4 Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest. 5 Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother. 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Hosea 4:1-6
1.Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
4 Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.
5 Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
