The Necessity of Forgetting
Steven Caruana
When it comes to man and our duty toward God, it goes without saying that we are forgetful creatures. For this cause so much is said in the Bible about remembering: Remember the Sabbath day, remember Lot’s wife, remember and do all my commandments, remember the days of old, remember His marvelous works, remember now thy Creator and on and on and on. We are forgetful creatures by nature of the things of God but by nature there are certain things we do not forget. Read the rest of this entry

From Defeat to Victory
John Thiel
The night is dark and I am far from home. Is that true?
Is the night dark? We live according to the Word of God in a time of gross darkness. The danger for us is that we may not know it, but because we have living truth that has been given us through the three angels’ messages we become more conscious of it. So indeed, you and I, who dwell under the three angels’ messages are aware of the fact that we must be of the number that are recorded in Revelation 14:1-5 Read the rest of this entry

Finding True Fulfilment in a Relationship with God
John Thiel
There are all sorts of things in the world today that make you sad. One thing today is family dysfunction. There is global disaster where ever you look. We are protected here in Australia but in many places there is constant conflict and difficulty. There are many social disappointments even in the church. When we have looked for something to satisfy our selfish desires, we become disappointed with our desires of relationships that don’t work out as hoped. The wars in the world destroy natural and social events. There is a great amount of social insecurity. Where do these things come from? What is the source of these disasters and disappointments? The curse causeless does not come.

I want to provoke each one of you to a closer relationship with the Lord. In order to have a relationship with somebody we need to know them well. To know their thoughts better and also to know ourselves better. Many relationships today break up because of lack of knowing each other and misunderstandings. If somebody says something and you don’t know the thought behind what they are saying you can misconstrue what they are saying every single time. Is that constructive to a relationship? No. This is the same problem we have with God. If we knew His thoughts when He speaks we would understand Him better. If we knew ourselves better we would understand the dangers we have in misinterpreting things. Read the rest of this entry

The Love of God in Worldly Associations
By John Thiel
Matthew 5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Regarded as Sinless
By John Thiel, Swan View Church.
We are in need of trusting Jesus as Satan is going about seeking who he can destroy. I have seen very strong spiritual people being tossed about especially as they discover more and more their sinfulness. Not surprising as the nearer we come to Jesus the more distinctly we will see our sinfulness. This is a message that we need to remind ourselves continually that we need to believe. I find myself having to remind even the strongest believers today of this message. When our lives are illuminated by Jesus we see ourselves as we really are. We keep on feeling oppressed. We keep feeling that I’m too sinful and that I have no hope because I see that my sins are so severe. They are part of my very being, my sinful flesh. Read the rest of this entry
