The Gospel Herald -- Promoting the fundamentals of the 1888 message.

 

The 1888 message from a pastor's perspective
  • 1888 Re-examined—revised and updated by the original authors, Robert J. Wieland and Donald K. Short. The story of a century of confrontation between God and His people.

  • A New Look at God's Law—How the Ten Commandments Become Good News
    Believe how "I am the Lord your God who has already (historical past tense) brought you out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage," and His Ten Commandments metamorphose before your eyes into assurances of blessings.
  • Righteousness by Faith and the Cleansing of the Sanctuary—An outline study explaining why this subject is so important.
  • The Knocking at the Door — There is a neglected but essential preparation to make before the final outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the Later Rain can possibly come. There must be something in the Laodicean message which we have not understood or received.

  • What Did Christ Accomplish On His CrossThe 1888 message recognizes that on His cross Christ legally justified the entire human race and won for "all men" a "verdict of acquittal" that reversed the "condemnation" "in Adam." But the sinner may choose to resist and reject what Christ has already given him, and thus elect to be lost.

  • Taking the Deadlock Out of Wedlock — or, How to Live With an Ornery Spouse
    Sometimes what appears to be orneriness is a spouse leads to misunderstandings. A sincere effort to understand how the opposite sex thinks usually makes this kind of "orneriness" evaporate. (PDF)

  • Ten Gospel Truths - that make the 1888 message unique. Christ has already accomplished something for every human being. God's gracious love is so strong and persistent that the sinner must resist it in order to be lost. It is actually easy to be saved and hard to be lost if one understands and believes how good the Good News is. A misunderstanding of God's character causes us to think He is trying to hide from us. In seeking us, Christ came all the way to where we are, taking upon Himself "the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh." (Includes many Bible references, as well as what A.T. Jones, E.J. Waggoner, and Ellen G. White actually taught on the subject)

  • Have we followed cunningly devised fables? An often neglected aspect of Daniel 8:11-13.

  • Has Christ rejected or forsaken the organized Seventh-day Adventist church?
    A study of mello
    in the book of Revelation and its use in the message to Laodicea.

  • 1888: A Brief Look At the History and Content of the Message. Section two of two documented essays.

  • Psalm 22 and the atonement. Psalm 22 is a transcript as if there were a stenographer present at Calvary. This stenographer took down the thoughts that Jesus had — His prayer.

  • Justification and Righteousness by Faith:
    A Comparison of Three Contrasting Views (PDF)

    1. The popular Sunday-keeping churches

    2. Contemporary Seventh-day Adventist

    3. The 1888 Message as brought by Jones and Waggoner and endorsed by Ellen White

  • Are we amusing ourselves to death? The Romans did. Are we really much different today?

  • A New Look at God's Law: How the Ten Commandments become GOOD NEWS.  This breath of fresh air lifts loads from your heart.

  • In Search of the Treasure of Faith Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, the Beneficent, the Merciful, Owner of the day of judgment. Thee (alone) we worship: Thee (alone) we ask for help. Show us the straight path, the path of those whom Thou hast favoured—not (the path) of those who earn Thy anger nor of those who go astray.
