Thank you to all those who have believed in this conference. We are moving toward our goal and there are limited seats remaining.

A special thanks goes out to Neibra Williams & Associates LLC, Attorney Matthew K. Foster, J.C. Grace Travel, and Pittman Law Group, who each sponsored women to attend the conference. A thank you also goes to a special donor whose generosity helped underwrite the conference and to all the generous donors who have supported this event.


Will you sponsor a woman or make a donation? If you are unable to attend the conference, please make a donation or sponsor a woman to come. Sponsor a specific woman — an employee, friend, grandmother, mother, sister, aunt, daughter, etc. — or bless a local woman who will benefit from the conference.


Hawkins, the conference's host, will be the the keynote speaker. She'll share spiritual principles to help women who aspire to Living THE Balanced Life. The guest speakers will each share from their areas of expertise focusing on health and wellness, spiritual lessons and how to plan for the future to make big dreams a reality.


The undergirding purpose of the conference is to teach women how to live Spirit-led, balanced lives in this hectic, modern world by applying spiritual principles and values to earthly decisions. As you know, everything about us — our thoughts, values, emotions, goals, and even eating habits — are influenced by the world's secular views. "Living THE Balanced Life" requires us to align our horizontal (earthly) decisions with our vertical (heavenly) values and principles; only then we are centered.


Please pray for the GRM2 board as we plan and for all the women this conference will bless.

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT

We Hear But Do We Listen to The Message in Revelation 14?

Last year our devotional thought examined the book of Revelation as a trial—the trial of the universe. Just like in an earthly courtroom, we identified a judge, jury, defendant, defense and prosecuting attorneys, a verdict, and a sentence.

Introduction

Because we are in “the time of the end,” Revelation is no longer sealed as Daniel described in Daniel 12:9. Its warnings repeat and expand Daniel’s prophetic writings. The two books should be studied together.

Revelation 14 describes three angels with loud voices shouting to everyone “on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people” warnings based on “the everlasting gospel” (verse 6).

It is important to grasp the significance of these last-day warnings because the consequences are eternal.

Summary

The three angels’ messages declare the consequences of failing to worship the true God and choosing to remain in Babylon—symbolic name for false worship and beliefs that are not based upon God’s Word (verse 8). The third angel’s straightforward, but graphic message announces the dire results of false worshipping:  “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of his indignation” (Revelation 14:9). 

The First Angel’s Message

Revelation 14:7 frames the fundamental issue necessitating the warning.  It requires us to “Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters” (Revelation 14:7).

His appeal is based on His being the Creator of Earth as outlined in Genesis 1-2. God deserves our respect, homage, obedience, and glory.

Is it really strange that God would want us to acknowledge Him above all other gods and idols? This call is not a request for us to be afraid of or in fear of God; rather it points us to the only One and True God (see Isaiah 41:10 and 45:5).

Next issue we will unravel what the first angel means by “the hour of His judgment has come” (Revelation 14:7).

UPCOMING EVENTS

Enrichment & Empowerment Women's Conference — Feb. 25, 2023. Living THE Balanced Life. The undergirding purpose of the conference is to teach women how to live Spirit-led, balanced lives in this hectic, modern world by applying spiritual principles and values to earthly decisions. Register today to attend or gift attendance to a worthy woman.


College Course — Professor Judith Hawkins will teach Minor Prophets with Major Messages for Then and Now at Tallahassee Christian College Training Center. The class runs Feb. 28 to March 21. For more details, visit the courses and seminars page on the TCCTC website: https://tcctc.org/courses-seminars/

The Bible is a manual for how to experience optimum physical, relational, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Think of humankind as four tires on a vehicle.


If any tire is deflated, there is a vast difference between experiencing a smooth ride versus a bumpy ride down the road and at a slower speed. Should the tire be flat, the vehicle must be stopped and moved out of the path of travel.


The solution is repairing or replacing the tire.

  

So it is with our wellness and well-being. There are four quarters in the year; take one “wheel” and concentrate on inflating or replacing it. For example, drinking less sugary drinks and more pure water. Consider focusing on perfecting how to be a “Ruth” when your “Boaz” appears.


What about determining to increase your personal, private prayer, and Bible study times. Can you commit to increasing your forgiveness quota and to dividing your personal “half-empty” perspective to multiply more “half-full” assessments?


In 2023, don’t drive on bad tires!
