When a ship goes down, not only those who are on it, but also those who are too close go down with it. We are living in an age of apostasy, and having seen much, Pastor Hampton, burdened by God, gives us a solemn warning: don't go down with the ship. To truly be Zion is not just having the name "church of God," it is producing everything that God's church has ever produced! May the Lord help us to search ourselves thoroughly in light of the message.

The high priests of the Old Testament went into the back room of the Tabernacle trembling, but through the blood of Jesus we have access to the holiest place with boldness. What privilege we have! But as our access has increased, so has the punishment for entering unworthily. Let us therefore fear, and only embolden ourselves to enter into the presence of God if we are sure we are spotless before Him.

A person is a conglomeration of their thoughts; the state of one's mind ultimately determines their destiny. Your mind can be changed no matter how resolved it may be: if you give the enemy access to your mind, he will shift it. If your mind is shifted, it is a dangerous state because you will be convinced that you are right while you are not right. Let us take special care to guard our minds!
