Chap. 249 - Never Accept Satan's Dare

Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Matt. 4:7. {HP 255.1}

Let all remember how adroitly and cunningly did Satan command Christ to cast Himself from the Temple, quoting scripture to show Him that it was the very thing for Him to do, for in this way He could give evidence to all the people that He was what He claimed to be. "If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone" (verse 6). {HP 255.2}

In quoting the scripture Satan left out a very important point, . . . "to keep thee in all thy ways" (Ps. 91:11). In consenting to do Satan's bidding, Christ would be venturing into Satan's ways, not in ways that God had devised for His Son. That was a dare, and Satan's agents are full of presumptuous dares to get a chance to work his will with those who will accept his dare. But Christ would not accept the dare of Satan. Christ would not enter into controversy with the arch deceiver and tempter. He said, "It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God." . . . {HP 255.3}

Angels, as ministering spirits, are in the path where duty calls the heirs of salvation to travel, and God will protect them from all evil. But when Satan marked out a path of his own, . . . Christ had no right to walk in that way. He was to keep His feet in the path which the Lord had marked out. Thus Christ in His humanity gave an example of what man should do when tempted by Satan's suggestions. {HP 255.4}

We are . . . never to accept a dare to prove the truth to men who are inspired by Satan to make proposals that God has not originated; for in this way Satan would lead us to step out of the path of God's providence and place ourselves in a position where we might be worsted by the enemy, and be overcome to our own hurt and to the injury of the cause of God. {HP 255.5}

Our only safety every day and every hour is to be on watch. We cannot become indolent and careless. I tell you that God would have

His people to be ever on guard. {HP 255.6}

Olympics 2008

Beijing Olympics 2008: Websites Blocked in China, Christians Persecuted  Begins August, 8, '08

Olympic Highlights, Beijing 2008:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Summer_Olympics_highlights

BEIJING - In many ways, the U.S. men's volleyball match against Venezuela on Sunday afternoon was nothing special.

There were kills and digs and momentum swings in the Americans' 25-18, 25-18, 22-25, 21-25, 15-10 victory, just like any

other match.

The players didn't wear black arm bands, or leave their head coach's seat vacant, or write Hugh McCutcheon's initials on

their shoes.

But as the players huddled together on the court before the match - something they had never done previously - their

linked arms signified how close the murder of their coach's father-in-law has brought them.

Through the noise of 11,000 fans at Capital Gymnasium, all the 12 players heard was silence.

China has done nothing to advance human rights, has jailed foreign and domestic reporters, applied strict visa rules to

foreigners who would like to visit the country to watch the Olympic Games, and is now censoring the foreign press.

The Digital Divide Main article: Digital divide

Kofi Annan, Secretary-General of the United Nations, defined the information society as that through which “human capacity is expanded, built up, nourished and liberated, by giving people access to the tools and technologies they need, with the education and training to use them effectively.” It is this kind of a society that the World Summit on the Information Society set about to create.
