Students to other poor countries to go and help this vacation in service to
communities there in different talents used for God. ---I say for God because Ellen White says that it should be “advancing
the cause of Christ” in Christ Object Lessons page 351. Are you? ---It would be a mistake if Sahmook cut off all biblical subjects
and all theological training just to make it purely a humanitarian effort with
no message about Jesus and His work. ---Focus on horizontal things and leaving out vertical thinking or
focus is what Jesus is talking about here in Matthew 6: “Where your treasure is
there your heart will be also”. ---Get a treasure, says Jesus, where? In heaven not on earth. ---How do you get a treasure in heaven? Jesus is the Pearl of Great
Price that you should look for and find. ---Then call all your friends together and say, look what I found! ---Then you are not secular but spiritual. ---But what if a division or union or conference or church decide
to keep their money for themselves. We will use it our way around us. ---What if a church say they want to pay their pastors themselves
personally and not the conference Adventist style? Presbyterianism Calvinism
style? ---Biblically not. Spirit of Prophecy way, not. Israel could have
easily done the same for it was a long distance from Nazareth to Jerusalem but
they sent their offerings and tithes all the way. ---It is not the plan of God that we take things in our own hands.

are many people who said that and there are such things as human greed, human
weakness, human oops! A check and countercheck auditing system is very
necessary to prevent this. And the Adventist style based on Scripture and
Spirit of Prophecy has that all. ---Do not listen to voices trying to change that. Or Unions or a
Division. ---“We want to run things our own way. Leave us by ourselves”.
Wrong. ---Paul was working in far fields up north but when some Times
came, he brought the income from the north to Jerusalem. Read Acts for this. ---Where is your heart? On Christ the Rock. The Rock of our
Salvation. ---He is my treasure, you must say, the Pearl of Great Price in my
life. ---Are you?
