S2-143 ELDER'S EXHORTATION (12-18-21)

Brother John & Brother Sam combine to encourage the saints to "hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful." The world may reject the word of God that we cling to as life itself. But, they remind us, "the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." Brother John refutes the discouragement and negativity of the naysayers reminding us that "all Scripture that is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work."
