S2-115 ELDERS EXHORTATION (10-10-2021)

Brother Sam reminded our congregation that it is not enough to understand the will of God, but we must also do the will of God. Heart knowledge is, therefore, far more critical than head knowledge!  An elder's role is essential in stirring our memories lest we forget our pastor's vital lessons. Brother Singh previously used the backslidden state (Book of Malachi) to remind us that we should never take God, a great King, for granted. In like manner, our elder urges us to remember where God has brought us from—all that he has done for us—and all that He continues to do to prepare us for entry into His kingdom. We are urged to bring our "whole tithe into the storehouse" (Malachi 3:10). We cannot rob God and expect His blessings. Violation of God's principles brings sorrow, calamity, and eventual death in our lives.
