“Throughout scripture one can see that each generation was shaped by previous generations.

“When given back his voice Zechariah sings a two-part song of recognition to the saving power of God and the invitation of sharing the relevance of accepting God’s salvation. Like the world surrounding Israel, our world today has moved beyond God and salvation. We are called to be modern John the Baptists–opening the eyes of the world to the salvation that comes only through God.” –Pastor Nate Elias

“What if we could answer this question: ‘What if I don’t follow God’s call for my life?’ Ellen White shares this thought: ‘There are many who try to reform by correcting this or that bad habit, and they hope in this way to become Christians, but they are beginning in the wrong place. Our first work is with the heart.’ ” –Pastor Nate Elias

“What if my spiritual journey is for God rather than with God? Too many times in the life of a Christian, efforts to be like Christ turn into trying to do something for Christ. The God-given invitation is to “abide in Christ.” This change in effort requires surrender of control and results in the greatest freedom and peace of the soul.” – Pastor Nate Elias
