Blessings From Above

We have, for some time, felt a burden to share the health message in light of the Cross.  The health message is not the gospel, but as Ellen White says, it is the right arm of the Gospel.  God intended it to be a blessing for all of us but only when it is centered on Christ and His Righteousness, the infinite love and sacrifice manifested by His death on the Cross, and His role as our High Priest with the cleansing in the Sanctuary.  This is the most precious message that God sent to His last day church in 1888 that is the everlasting gospel, the third angel’s message in verity, that Ellen White says He has commanded to be shared with the world (TM pp. 91, 92). 

Our desire is to share this beautiful Gospel message wherever and whenever we can since, looking at the world around us, Christ is indeed ready to come and has been for some time.  We want to share this everlasting gospel as the Lord leads in whatever time remains.

If the Lord impresses your heart regarding a future seminar or series of talks, please fill in the "We'd love to hear from you" on the contact page and we'll get back to you.

We hope that you are blessed by this site and the materials on it.

Blessings, John and Monica
