‘…let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.’  Hebrews 12:1-2

“When the practices of the people do not come in conflict with the law of God, you may conform to them. If the workers fail to do this, they will not only hinder their own work, but they will place stumbling blocks in the way of those for whom they labor and hinder them from accepting the truth.” Mind, Character and Personality, vol. 2, p. 560

But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, Acts 10:34-35  Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:  But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.  Sunday Peter at Cornelius house

Act 15:28-29  For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;  That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.  1Cor. 2:2  For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

Monday For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which He hath spoken of him.  Genesis 18:19  This is no different to what the Lord requires of us today!

Genesis 12:1  Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:  Tuesday

Esther 2:17  And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen…’

And the children of Israel did evil in the Wednesday Judges 2:11 there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which He had done for Israel.  And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:

John 1:12  But as many as received Him (Jesus), to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:   John 3:7  Marvel not that I said unto thee, You must be born again. (from above) ‘Born’ by the Holy Spirit into the kingdom of God.

SDA’s 21st ‘C’ message is Revelation 14:6-12 Thursday

The Upward Look, September 24 E G White “There is no person, no nation, that is perfect in every habit and thought. One must learn from another. Therefore God wants the different nationalities to mingle together, to be one in judgment, one in purpose… If the Italian brethren, the French brethren, and the German brethren try to be like Him, they will plant their feet upon the same foundation of truth; the same Spirit that dwells in one will dwell in the other—Christ in them, the hope of glory. I warn you, brethren and sisters, not to build up a wall of partition between different nationalities. On the contrary, seek to break it down wherever it exists. We should endeavor to bring all into the harmony that there is in Jesus, laboring for the one object—the salvation of our fellow men.” The Upward Look, September 24 E G White
