To The Heirs of the Kingdom of God


Heir of the kingdom, O why dost thou slumber? 
Why art thou sleeping so near thy blest home? 
Wake thee, arouse thee, and gird on thine armor, 
Speed, for the moments are hurrying on.

Heir of the kingdom, say, why dost thou linger? 
How canst thou tarry in sight of the prize? 
Up, and adorn thee, the Savior is coming; 
Haste to receive Him descending the skies.

Earth's mighty nations, in strife and commotion, 
Tremble with terror, and sink in dismay; 
Listen, 'tis nought but the chariot's loud rumbling; 
Heir of the kingdom, no longer delay.

Stay not, O stay not for earth's vain allurements! 
See how its glory is passing away; 
Break the strong fetters the foe hath bound o'er thee; 
Heir of the kingdom, turn, turn thee away.

Keep the eye single, the head upward lifted; 
Watch for the glory of earth's coming King; 
Lo! o'er the mountaintops light is now breaking; 
Heirs of the kingdom, rejoice ye and sing.

But who found me? Who was looking for me? "For thus saith the Lord God; 'Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.' " (Ezekiel 34:11) And why does He want to find me ? "As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out My sheep , and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day." (Ezekiel 34:12) And as my favorite Scripture says, "I have called you by your name; you are Mine " (Isaiah 43:1). The Cloudy and Dark Day It i...

The Great Controversy: Whose Side Are You On?

Note: The following article is appropriate for all ages, and should be read with family and friends. Before our earth was created, a war began and is still going on in our world today. This war is called   the Great Controversy . The word  controversy  (pronounced " khan -tro-verse-ee") is taken from the Latin word  controversus  (pronounced "khan-tro- were -sus")   meaning disputable or, more literally, turned against . Between whom is this controversy? It is between Jesus Christ and His enemy, the Devil. So who is turned against whom? The Devil is turned against Jesus and is opposing Him. And what exactly is being disputed? The Devil thinks that Jesus is not as powerful as He claims to be. "And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God , command this stone that it be made bread" (Luke 4:3 KJV). " And the LORD said unto Satan, 'Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none...
