If you want to know why I don’t do certain things, ask me. Everything I preach comes from the Word of God, and I believe it. I guess I go there because my wife goes there.” Isn’t that a sorry reason to go to a church? The Bible says, “Be ready always to give a reason for the hope that is with you, with meekness and fear” (1 Peter 3:15). I asked a friend of mine once why he went to the church that he went to and he said, “Well, I don’t really know. Would you say Amen? Some are married to preachers. I would love by the grace of God to make a disciple for Jesus. I’ve got enough responsibility already! I don’t want any disciples. I told you the other night, and I’ll tell you again: I don’t want anyone following me. Or they’re married to organs, or they’re married to preachers. You’ve got people who are married to buildings. By the way, there are some people who are so impressionable, and so gullible. It might be the biggest and richest in Christiandom, but that’s no proof it’s God’s remnant church. I want you to remember that God is not concerned with the edifice itself. There are other identifying marks of God’s remnant church. When you find a church that keeps all of God’s law, teaches that for doctrine and believes in all the rest of the Bible, refuses to accept tradition in its place, you will have found God’s remnant church. When you find a church that believes and teaches all of God’s commandments, for James 2:10 says if you keep the whole law and break one, you are guilty of how much? All. God’s remnant church does not throw away the Old Testament or the New Testament, but believes that all Scripture is given by inspiration of God. And you’ve got to find one that does not throw away the parts of the Bible it does not agree with. You’ve got to find one that says “No” to men who voted the Sabbath out and the first day of the week in. That’s how you can find God’s remnant church. The remnant church will not only keep all God’s commandments, but the remnant church will believe in all the rest of the writings of the prophets. It refers to all the writing of the prophets. Revelation 19:10 tells us that the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy. Well, who are they? “Which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” Would you say Amen? God’s remnant church will keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus. So the dragon–the Devil, was wroth–angry, with the woman–the church, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed–the last that’s left.
