Probation

FAITHFUL TO THE END

 Part 1

Signs of the times are everywhere. In Matthew 24, Jesus is telling His disciples what must take place before His return. He mentions wars and rumors of wars, famines, pestilences, earthquakes, people claiming to be Christ, the sun and moon being darkened, stars falling from heaven, and others. After these terrible calamities the next thing referenced is Jesus coming back! Just where are we in this scheme of things? Have these things taken place? Yes! The dark day, earthquakes everywhere, starvation, droughts, famines, unstoppable diseases, WWI and II. What does this mean for us? Jesus' second coming is right around the corner!

The Bible says that "as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be". The earth is, to say the least, just as corrupt as it was in the days of Noah.

The next thing to take place in the turn of events is the worldwide proclamation of the Sunday Law. What does that mean for us professing SDA young people? It tells us that we are one step closer to Christs' return, which means that are probation is drawing to a close.

The Sunday law has been in the works for decades, and the only thing we're waiting for now is for it to be officially implemented. Now is a prime time for them to implement it with the official end of the Protestant Reformation on October 31, 2017. What if the Sunday Law were to fall on the 500th anniversary of Luther nailing his 95 theses on the door of a church? Our probation, our future for the rest of eternity, FOREVER, could be decided anytime. It could be tomorrow. And after that, there is NO turning back. It is too late.

If your probation were to close next week, where would you go? Do you have the confidence that you would spend eternity in heaven, or be doomed forever? Are you ready?

But we have NOTHING to fear, if we but surrender ALL to Him who holds the world in His hands. Let's make it our primary goal to be there with Him for all eternity. Jesus is coming soon. There's no question about it. The question for each of us is, "Am I going to be there?"

Who Holds the Reins?

A horse gallops wildly through the deep dark woods. On its back rides a terrified girl, her small, weak hands clinging to the reins draped about her horses neck. Her dress is torn and dirty and her unraveled braids fly out behind her in a tangled and wind tossed mess. The trail, full of potholes, rocks and fallen logs, snakes its way through an ominously dark and dreary forest. Dark, sinister trees threaten to grab her and pull her off of her horse. At every bump in the trail, the girl bounces, nearly losing her grip. Her knuckles whiten as she tightens her grip on the reins. She looks down at the blur of rocks and logs racing beneath her and imagines with terror what would happen if she lost her grip. Behind her sits a Man, His face a picture of tender kindness and pity. He longs to help the girl who clings so desperately to the horses reins. The girl’s eyes, full of fear and blinded by tears, look imploringly at the One riding behind her. “Little girl,” He says, His eyes s...

On Thin Ice

It was a beautiful spring day. The sun shone brightly, making paths of light through the thick branches of tall pine trees. Little birds flitted through the branches and chirped merry songs.     Nearby, a boy stepped onto some melting ice. He nervously moved his feet, noticing little pools of water forming at every step. His eyes flashed and his mouth curved into a confident grin as he neared the center of the ice. He turned around and looked back at his friends who were watching him.    “Look at me!” He yelled and jumped on the ice. His friends gasped and told him to stop jumping.    “You might fall through!” they cried. But he only shrugged it off and laughed and began to jump some more, his feet pounded into the weakening ice. He didn’t notice the crack that had started to form and that was gradually getting larger with every jump. Then suddenly, without warning, he heard the ice splinter and felt freezing cold water begin engulf him. His friend...

Transformation

     A man walks down a beach, searching. His feet sink into the sand and waves lap at them with every step. He stops and stoops down to pick up a stone. A smile plays on the corners of his lips as he holds it in his hand. To the ordinary person, it’s a rough and beach-worn stone; chipped and full of imperfections. But as this man gazes at the stone, he sees past those chips and scratches, past its dull appearance, and sees in it a beautiful gem, full of possibilities      He slips the stone in his pocket, and takes it home to polish it. First he puts it in a tumbler with a bunch of other stones. As it is tumbles, its many imperfections are chipped away. When the man finally takes it out of the tumbler, he holds in his hand a beautiful gem, no longer the dull stone it once was. Then he carefully covers the whole stone with a layer of polish. Once it is dry, the man picks up the stone and rubs his finger along its smooth, glossy surface. A smile of satisfa...
