on the importance of human management of God’s objectives. ---“And whatever you do, do it heartily,
as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the
reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ” (Colossians 3:23, 24,
NKJV). ---Our Union President Alf Birch was a
very able bright man. He went to Andrews University in the 1970’s and got his
doctoral degree on the topic of “Management by Objectives”. ---He came back and taught us the course
at Helderberg College in South Africa. ---His son Raymond Birch is still a pastor
in South Africa. Use to sing on campus in a special group with Kevin van der
Molen, Andre van Heerden and himself. Kevin died. Andre is pastor in the USA.
Management by God’s help for His objectives and His rewards. ---What if you are ploughing in your
talents for the Word of God but you are not connected to God? ---That is impossible. You say. No it is
not. Satan make us to deceive ourselves and not realize that we are actually
not following the Word of God! ---In 1872 Julius Wellhausen, the son of a
pastor (PK = pastors kid) got a position at the faculty of a seminary Greifswald
in Germany. ---He taught the Bible for ten years.
During this time he realized that actually he is agnostic and atheistic and
that he is supposed to prepare the seminary students for the pulpit in
Protestant churches to be a good Shepherd. ---He himself does not know this Shepherd
and even though knowledgeable about the text, he missed the Spirit as Editor
and missed the Messiah in the text, he missed the Shepherd Who leads the flock
in the Word of God. ---The Biblical text was for him the same
as Homer’s Greek works. No difference. He felt one should be critical of Homer
and of the Bible. No difference. ---He could not manage by God’s objectives
to his student clients and became incompetent. He resigned and confessed what I
told you now. His confession is on Wikipaedia. ---In 1882 he resigned. Immediately
atheists flocked to him to sympathize with him and encourage him to keep up his
atheism pushdrive. Keep worshipping Satan. We are with you. They said. ---The great Greek scholar Ulrich von
Wilamowitz Moellendorff dedicated his Homeric work to Wellhausen two years
later. Birds of a feather flock together. ---So Adventism does not encourage any
link to Wellhausen. Other denominations in Judaism, Catholicism, Protestantism
consider Wellhausen as the only way to read the Bible. ---Can you have faith in the Bible after
it came out of a paper-cutting machine? The world seminaries said yes.
Adventists are saying no. Julius Wellhausen is that paper-cutter. They embrace
him, they love him, they teach him, their pastors became skinny in the Word of
God which is now the word of Wellhausen. ---That is why in their churches tithe is
whether you like the pastor or not at the end of the sermon. In Adventism tithe
is a biblical Word of God principle taken up before the sermon sometimes,
almost most times. Even online payments. Why? Biblical that is the exact Word
of God to be believed. ---Are you belonging to a church or
denomination that taught Wellhausen cutting of the Bible? All Calvinistic
seminaries in South Africa is doing that. Paper cutting the Word of God and
think it is smart. ---Time to manage our lives by proper
objectives. Is it not?
