Overcoming Envy and Jealousy, August 16 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. Galatians 5:26. Envy and jealousy are diseases which disorder all the faculties of the being. They originated with Satan in paradise.... Those who listen to his [Satan’s] voice will demerit others, and will misrepresent and falsify in order to build up themselves. But nothing that defiles can enter heaven, and unless those who cherish this spirit are changed, they can never enter there, for they would criticize the angels. They would envy another’s crown. They would not know what to talk of unless they could bring up the imperfections and errors of others. O that such would become changed by beholding Christ! O that they would become meek and lowly by learning of Him! Then they would go forth, not as missionaries for Satan, to cause disunion and alienation, to bruise and mangle character, but as missionaries for Christ, to be peacemakers and to restore. Let the Holy Spirit come in and expel this unholy passion, which cannot survive in heaven. Let it die; let it be crucified. Open the heart to the attributes of Christ, who was holy, harmless, undefiled.... The Word of God exhorts, “Love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous.” 1 Peter 3:8. True moral worth does not seek to make a place for itself by thinking and speaking evil, by depreciating others. All envy, all jealousy, all evilspeaking, with all unbelief, must be put away from God’s children. The Bible is full of instruction enjoining us to show love, patience, and respect in our speech and in our treatment of one another. The love of Jesus in the soul never leads to malice and envy. The tender plant of Christlike love must be carefully cherished. It will not grow unless it is cultivated. Heaven takes notice of the one who carries about with him an atmosphere of peace and love. Such a one will receive his reward. He will stand in the great day of the Lord. OHC 234-OHC 234.6

The Religious Liberty Commission Says "No Separation of Church & State" ... https://youtube.com/watch?v=hWvJaRhnPO0&si=gpWVqPGqj68ohhP-

HERE WE STAND | Christian nationalism, Sunday Laws, and America's 250th Anniversary - Documentary Could the events surrounding America's 250th anniversary have more prophetic significance than most people realize? America's 250th anniversary is being celebrated this Independence Day weekend, but just weeks ago, we were on the ground in Washington, D.C., documenting one of the largest faith gatherings connected to this historic milestone. We attended Rededicate 250 on the National Mall, handed out thousands of Great Controversy Sharing Cards, interviewed attendees, and captured footage for this special documentary. In this video, we compare what we witnessed firsthand with Bible prophecy, American history, and Scripture. Is the growing call for America to return to God the beginning of a genuine revival, or could it point to prophetic events the Bible warned about long ago? We explore what it could mean for the future of religious liberty, separation of church and state, and America's prophetic role in the last days. If you were unable to be in Washington for Rededicate 250 or the America 250 celebration, we hope this documentary gives you an inside look at what happened and encourages you to study these issues for yourself. @heritageandhope

“Christ-like love places the most favorable construction on the motives and acts of others. It does not needlessly expose their faults; it does not listen eagerly to unfavorable reports, but seeks rather to bring to mind the good qualities of others” (The Acts of the Apostles, p. 319).

The shortness of time is frequently urged as an incentive for seeking righteousness and making Christ our friend. This should not be the great motive with us; for it savours of selfishness. Is it necessary that the terrors of the day of God should be held before us, that we may be compelled to right action through fear? It ought not to be so. Jesus is attractive. He is full of love, mercy, and compassion. He proposes to be our friend, to walk with us through all the rough pathways of life. – {BEcho June 25, 1894 Par. 7}
