How to Be Perfect Before Jesus Comes

Sabbath School Net Posted on December 27, 2022 by David BissellJanuary 8, 2023avatar
Christ's Helping Hand © Chernetskaya

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. (Matthew 5:48) “Those who are living upon the earth, when the intercession of Christ shall cease in the sanctuary above, are to stand in the sight of a holy God without a Mediator” (Great Controversy, p. 425). These two statements struck terror to my young … Continue reading –>

Sabbath School Net Posted on September 3, 2018 by William EarnhardtSeptember 26, 2018avatar

What Does “Perfect in Christ” Really mean?

Sabbath School Net Posted on November 5, 2014 by William EarnhardtDecember 8, 2014avatar

One hot July afternoon at an Oklahoma Camp meeting, I visited a friend in her tent. Just outside sat my friend’s 13-year-old daughter with a friend she had just met.

Introduction…After surgery and 74 days in rehab for a broken hip joint, I’m back and headed for full recovery! Don’t read this if you’ve never done anything stupid, but I put on an ankle weight and forgot it was on until I decided to leap from my bedroom to the kitchen.

Sabbath School Net Posted on May 21, 2013 by William EarnhardtDecember 21, 2014avatar

In Christ’s day in Palestine, you could start a heated debate in the church by just saying the word “resurrection.” Today you can accomplish the same thing during fellowship lunch by just casually using the word “perfect.” In my 47 years of being an Adventist I have observed something ironic. I have met people who … Continue reading –>

Sabbath School Net Posted on October 29, 2012 by William EarnhardtFebruary 14, 2016avatar

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.  1 Corinthians 13:11 Many of us became Christians for childish reasons. We just wanted to go to heaven. That is okay. Jesus tells us … Continue reading –>
