Worship: For Heaven’s Sake “The forbearance that God has exercised toward the wicked, emboldens men in transgression; but their punishment will be none the less certain and terrible for being long delayed.” (PP 628.1) Sadly, bold wickedness and rejection as king became Saul’s testimony.

Words of Encouragement
Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Isaiah 43:18-19 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

For Heaven’s Sake…
Saul kept disobeying direct commands of the LORD and kept making good-sounding excuses for his sins. The prophet Samuel made him to understand that obedience to God is better than sacrifice. When we love God, we obey God’s commands. “For rebellion,” Samuel told Saul, “is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou has rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king” (1 Samuel 15:23).
“When called to the throne, Saul had a humble opinion of his own capabilities, and was willing to be instructed. He was deficient in knowledge and experience and had serious defects of character. But the Lord granted him the Holy Spirit as a guide and helper, and placed him in a position where he could develop the qualities requisite for a ruler of Israel. Had he remained humble, seeking constantly to be guided by divine wisdom, he would have been enabled to discharge the duties of his high position with success and honor. Under the influence of divine grace every good quality would have been gaining strength, while evil tendencies would have lost their power. This is the work which the Lord proposes to do for all who consecrate themselves to Him. There are many whom He has called to positions in His work because they have a humble and teachable spirit. In His providence He places them where they may learn of Him. He will reveal to them their defects of character, and to all who seek His aid He will give strength to correct their errors. PP 633.1
“But Saul presumed upon his exaltation, and dishonored God by unbelief and disobedience. Though when first called to the throne he was humble and self-distrustful, success made him self-confident. The very first victory of his reign had kindled that pride of heart which was his greatest danger. The valor and military skill displayed in the deliverance of Jabesh-gilead had roused the enthusiasm of the whole nation. The people honored their king, forgetting that he was but the agent by whom God had wrought; and though at first Saul ascribed the glory to God, he afterward took honor to himself. He lost sight of his dependence upon God, and in heart departed from the Lord. Thus the way was prepared for his sin of presumption and sacrilege at Gilgal. The same blind self-confidence led him to reject Samuel’s reproof. Saul acknowledged Samuel to be a prophet sent from God; hence he should have accepted the reproof, though he could not himself see that he had sinned. Had he been willing to see and confess his error, this bitter experience would have proved a safeguard for the future. PP 633.2
“If the Lord had then separated Himself entirely from Saul, He would not have again spoken to him through His prophet, entrusting him with a definite work to perform, that he might correct the errors of the past. When one who professes to be a child of God becomes careless in doing His will, thereby influencing others to be irreverent and unmindful of the Lord’s injunctions, it is still possible for his failures to be turned into victories if he will but accept reproof with true contrition of soul and return to God in humility and faith. The humiliation of defeat often proves a blessing by showing us our inability to do the will of God without His aid. PP 633.2
“It is a perilous step to slight the reproofs and warnings of God’s word or of His Spirit. Many, like Saul, yield to temptation until they become blind to the true character of sin. They flatter themselves that they have had some good object in view, and have done no wrong in departing from the Lord’s requirements. Thus they do despite to the Spirit of grace, until its voice is no longer heard, and they are left to the delusions which they have chosen.” PP 635.4

For Health’s Sake…
For the first week, we will learn what organs are part of the reproductive system for males and females. We will learn how they should work. We will learn what is the role of the nerves and hormones in the system.
Next we will learn about the diseases of reproduction. We will discuss cancer of the prostate and cancer of the breast and ovaries. We will learn about fibroids, endometriosis, and other diseases that affect the reproductive organs.
During the lifestyle week, we will learn how the way we dress affects the reproductive organs. We will learn how clothing locks in toxins in the system, how high-heeled shoes displace the pelvis. We will learn how food affects the prostate. We will learn how lifestyle can help both to prevent and heal diseases of reproduction.
Finally, we will learn what natural remedies can heal the diseases discussed. We will learn what herbs are best to use for certain diseases. And we will learn how best to prepare and apply them.
Over the month, we will have learned the anatomy and physiology in the first week, pathology in the second week, lifestyle in the third week, and end with natural remedies in the fourth week for full coverage of the reproductive system.
