Page 3 - Hungering for Holiness in a Wicked World

Consider Jonathan, who fell to pornography in his teens. During this time, his
parents watched Amazing Facts programs regularly, and Jonathan says this was crucial
in planting seeds of Bible principles into his struggling heart.

Jonathan knew he wasn’t living in holiness. It was an intense spiritual battle, and
many times Jonathan pleaded with God “to do just anything to get me out of this.”
In response to his desperate prayer, God broke the chains of his addiction—leading
him to holiness. Jonathan says that it was your support that made it possible for him
to experience holiness again. “Satan’s power was broken,” he proclaims! “The seeds
sown by your ministry when I was lost have sprung up and taken root.”

The Liberating Truth
And we see this influence worldwide! Rica writes from the Philippines that

she rebelled from the faith. She believed, “So what if I am naughty and say bad
words? God will never refuse me!” She believed that if she just had religion, it was
all she needed. But you and I know she was deceived by the world. This tragic
misunderstanding led her down a perilous, dark
road, and she became weaker in a compromised
faith. She says, “I became suicidal. … I would glare
at the altar and throw the Bible away.”

But all that changed when Rica’s father
introduced her to Amazing Facts. She explains,
“I was deeply moved by what Pastor Doug was
saying. I thank God for that precious day. My pain
and brokenness were replaced by love from God.”

Of course, you know that the message of
holiness is really a message of love. When we truly
love God, we will seek to do His will. We will
spend time with Him to build and maintain a close,
loving relationship. And we will obey the Lord by
being conformed to His will and keeping all of His
commandments.

Sadly, even in God’s church, we see more and
more deviation from holy living. God’s laws are
twisted, rationalized away, or ignored. When truth
is compromised in this way it results in a steady
erosion of other principles. I know that Amazing Facts must remain committed to
preaching holiness. Will you help change more lives like Rica’s and Jonathan’s with
this beautiful truth?

Preaching a Core Message
Bible prophecy predicts one day soon, those who are faithful to God’s law will be

under extreme pressure to ignore the fourth commandment and accept a false day of
worship. Already we’ve seen the pope promoting that agenda, which is why I look
