Let's have a think about God's character. I've been thinking about it for a while now and I thought that it would be great to share what I have come up with, with you.
Well its one of those things where you think you've got it, and then something else turns up. Most people say that God is love, and it's true. But God's so much more than just love, sure he does everything in love for us, but his character is not just love. It's justice, mercy, war, peace, reve...
As thy days, so shall thy strength be.... The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. Deuteronomy 33:25-27.
I am so thankful to my heavenly Father for His daily blessings to me. About a week ago, I felt completely worn out with the effort I had put forth in writing. My mind would not work, and I felt much depressed. I had almost given up hope of ever feeling rested again. But one night I prayed to God most earnestly for His strengthening, healing power to res...
Note From the Editor:
I'm really sorry girls for not posting anything for a while. I have moved from my home near Port Macquarie to Murwillumbah near Tweed Heads. This move has made my life really busy as I have started grade 11 at a Tweed Valley Adventist College. I will try my best to be more present on this website and write as often as I can.

Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Revelation 3:10.
These words are important and solemn, and it would be profitable to us should we take them home with us, and search the Scriptures in reference to their true meaning. The hour of temptation is to come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth; and although we do not wish to make a t...

"And He said, whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
Mark 4:30
Christ found the kingdoms of the world corrupt. After Satan was expelled from heaven, he erected his standard of rebellion on this earth, and sought by every means to win men to his standard....his purpose was to establish a kingdom that was governed by his own laws, and carried on with his own resources, independent...
'Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian. Exodus 3:1.
Moses spent forty years as a shepherd of flocks to prepare him to understand himself and to purify himself by emptying himself that the Lord could accomplish His will in him. The Lord did not take for His workmen mere machines in intellect or feelings. Both are essential to do the work, but these human elements of character must be purged from defects, not by talking of the will of God, but by do...
'Those who are partakers of the divine nature will not give way to temptation. The enemy is working with all his might to overcome those who are striving to live the Christian life. He comes to them with temptations, in the hope that they will yield. Thus he hopes to discourage them. But those who have planted their feet firmly on the Rock of Ages will not yield to his devices. They will remember that God is their Father and Christ their Helper. The Saviour came to our world to bring to ever...
"The humble dependence upon God, the faith that takes Him at His word and trusts Him at all times and under all circumstances, is the wearing of the yoke of Christ. The Christian brings all his passions under control to God. Then if the thoughts are brought into captivity to Jesus Christ, there is a healthful growth in beauty and grace of character."
"Enetering upon new business should be avoided, if possible, but endeavour to close up the the things that are already started that...
'The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. Matthew 6:22.
Satan's work today is that of a deceiver and an accuser. The Lord declares him to be an accuser of the brethren day and night. By long practice Satan has become well skilled in his trade of fault-finding, and will educate every man whom he can use to unite with him in this work. By him many are being deceived, and are moving blindfolded into paths of Satan'...
'For a moment we hesitated to venture. Then we exclaimed: “Our only hope is to trust wholly to the cord. It has been our dependence all the difficult way. It will not fail us now.” Still we were hesitating and distressed. The words were then spoken: “God holds the cord. We need not fear.” These words were then repeated by those behind us, accompanied with: “He will not fail us now. He has brought us thus far in safety.”
My husband then swung himself ove...
