Going to TRIAL for our FAITH TODAY!!

Throughout the Scriptures we are encouraged both by word and example to study to show ourselves approved unto God, as “workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Tim. 2:15. If there is a “right” way to divide the word truth, there must also be a wrong way, which we must avoid. However, successful and effective Bible study is not merely an intellectual process. Did you know that Satan himself is an excellent Bible student? And he knows his Bible better than most Christians! This is scary!

“Satan is a diligent student of the Bible and is much better acquainted with the prophecies than many religious teachers. He knows that it is for his interest to keep well informed in the revealed purposes of God, that he may defeat the plans of the Infinite.” Spirit of Prophecy Volume 2, p. 87 

ARME Bible Camp is about learning to live by EVERY WORD that proceedeth from the mouth of God, so that we will not be deceived in the last days. This is why we exist… this is why I LOVE this ministry!!!!

Today is a special day at ARME. Not only is it Sabbath, but we are going to TRIAL for our FAITH today! Literally…

We are told, “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.” 1 Pet. 3:15 

Unfortunately, “Many who profess to have a knowledge of present truth, know not what they believe. They do not understand the evidences of their faith.” Gospel Workers, p. 298 

So today is the test! As the Bible teachers/turned prosecuting attorneys start asking questions, we will be turning to the WORD to answer. Can we stand upon the Word of God? Do we know the Bible and the truth we believe?? Will we stand in the great day when we are pushed before courts and Kings to testify of our faith???

“None but those who have fortified the mind with the truths of the Bible will stand through the last great conflict. To every soul will come the searching test: Shall I obey God rather than men? The decisive hour is even now at hand. Are our feet planted on the rock of God’s immutable Word? Are we prepared to stand firm in defense of the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus?” Great Controversy, p. 593


So, let us hold to God's Word and be prepared to stand! "To the law and to the testimony, if they speak not according to this Word it is because there is no light in them." Isa. 8:20. 

Review: 

• Bible Thought: Preparing for the Big Trial… we must be grounded in the Word!
• Blessing: Seeing many lives changed for eternity. So many answers to prayer!
• Battle: Still more souls to win for the Kingdom. Keep praying!
