Chapter Seven - Linda Kirk 281Soon our eyes were drawn to the east, for a small black cloud hadappeared, about half as large as a man's hand, which we all knew was thesign of the Son of man. We all in solemn silence gazed on the cloud as itdrew nearer and became lighter, glorious, and still more glorious, till itwas a great white cloud. The bottom appeared like fire; a rainbow wasover the cloud, while around it were ten thousand angels, singing a mostlovely song; and upon it sat the Son of man.Revelation 14:12Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep thecommandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.The Acts of the Apostles, p. 154The principalities and powers of heaven are watching the warfarewhich, under apparently discouraging circumstances, God's servants arecarrying on. New conquests are being achieved, new honors won, as theChristians, rallying round the banner of their Redeemer, go forth to fightthe good fight of faith. All the heavenly angels are at the service of thehumble, believing people of God; and as the Lord's army of workers herebelow sing their songs of praise, the choir above join with them inascribing praise to God and to His Son.When Ernie and Becky joined the Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement forseveral years, they never gave up the historic doctrines of the Seventh-dayAdventist Church. They are saddened and distraught, as through the years theyhave seen their beloved Church fall deeper into apostasy. They long for the daywhen God purifies the last-day church and ask that you join them in prayertoward that end.ConclusionBeing a Seventh-day Adventist is more than having your name on the churchbooks. It entails a settling into the present truth that Adventism teaches. Sadly,faithful Seventh-day Adventist Church members are disfellowshipped, becauseof the stand they take against the apostasy within the Church. Does this meanthey are no longer Seventh-day Adventists? Certainly not. Linda makes itappear that Ernie and Becky left the truth, because they joined the SeventhDay Adventist Reform Movement for a time. This accusation is far from thetruth.Loss of employmentLinda Kirk says: (see Appendix L)“Another fact that surfaced unexpectedly was that you were actuallyfired from the job that you had before December 2006, and it wasexplained that you were confrontational and not able to get alongpersonally with your co-workers and associates. Your testimony that yougave at our home was stated in such a way as to lead one to believe that itwas your ill health that caused your loss of employment. Again, thisbrings up issues of integrity.”
