In these cities we are to have houses of worship, as memorials for God, sharing faith and sound doctrine.
It is a faith that implies the expectation of a restored relationship between man and God and between man and man.
RENDERING, NOT RETAINING
God is not unjust so that He is unmindful of your labor and of the love which you have manifested towards Himself in having rendered services to His people.
TENDING, INTENDING, EXTENDING AND CONTENDING
And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil,
2 Timothy 2:24
PERSON, PROMISE, PERSUASION, PROVISION
The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
HELPS TO HOLINESS, UNDER THE INFLUENCE
He who wants a meeting of life and power should remember that there is no substitute for the Holy Ghost. He is life. He is power. And if He is sought in earnest, faithful prayer, He will come, and when He comes the little meeting will be mighty in its results.” Therefore, as he later quotes: “Put your all on the altar, and leave it there; do not take it back, and God’s fire will surely come and consume the offering.
HELPS TO HOLINESS CONTINUED
One can not grow into holiness, but he can only grow in it. Holiness consists of taking out the old and adding the new. “It will take a second work of grace, preceded by a whole-hearted consecration and as definite an act of faith as that which preceded [ones] conversion.
HELPS TO HOLINESS
Holiness is something that one can obtain in this life. It removes all evil from his heart, allowing him to truly and completely serve God. This does not mean he will not make mistakes, because he still will since he is still human.
RESTITUTION AND RESTORATION
A reestablishment of the gospel of Jesus Christ on the earth in the last days, with the powers, ordinances, doctrines, offices, and all things as they have existed in former ages. A gathering together of the house of Israel from its scattered condition.
MAN'S ISOLATION, GOD'S INTERVENTION
The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead.”
WHY DID JESUS COME - PART 1
But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. Romans 5:8-9 (ESV)
