Why Did The Virgins Fall Asleep?
Recently one sister discovered our character building seminar "From Glory to Glory". She liked it so much that she decided to order it in DVDs and we started to communicate. Her name is Christine. She was so kind that she shared with me one of her studies. When I read it it was so impressive that I asked her for permission to share it with all who come across our website. If you are concerned about being prepared for Jesus second glorious advent, I am sure this study can inspire you to be aware what can bring us closer to [...]

Do all things for His glory and in and thru the love He has for you. {ST, July 10, 1901 par. 1} […]
Be Ye Therefore Perfect
Those who serve God should aim at perfection. Wrong habits must be overcome. Right habits must be formed. Under the discipline of the greatest Teacher the world has ever known, Christians must move onward and upward toward perfection. This is God’s command, and no one should say, I can not do it.
