Reflecting Christ 216.6E. G. White

• We are living in the last days, when error of a most deceptive character is accepted and believed, while truth is discarded.

Reflecting Christ 216.6E. G. White

The Lord will hold both ministers and people responsible for the light shining upon them.

Reflecting Christ 216.6E. G. White

He calls upon us to work diligently in gathering up the jewels of truth, and placing them in the framework of the gospel.

Rahab’s StoryJoshua 2:10

10For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.

Viral Evangelism defined

“Viral evangelism uses preexistent social networks to produce an increase in the awareness of the nearness of the coming of Jesus Christ. It is an awareness that spreads like a virus from person to person” –Stephen L. Williams, Sr. 2011
