God Shall Supply Our Need
Study #0199 | W.D. Frazee | March 9, 1976 | Wildwood, Georgia

What does it mean to be truly content? In this practical and deeply encouraging study, Elder Frazee opens up Philippians 4:19 and shows how God's people can live in peace—free from the anxiety of keeping up with the world—by trusting in Heaven's unlimited supply.

Key Texts: Philippians 4:19 | Luke 22:35 | Acts 3:1–6 | Acts 20:32–35

In This Episode:
Elder Frazee takes us to God's "central supply"—a commissary stocked with everything we need, not just for this life, but for eternity. Drawing from the experience of Peter ("Silver and gold have I none"), Paul, and the early church, he shows that true security is never found in money, insurance, or institutions—but in the promise of God.

With warmth and candor, Elder Frazee addresses the "respectable sin" of covetousness—the restless desire for more—and calls us to a life of cheerful contentment, whether we handle much or little. This isn't poverty. It's freedom.

Topics Covered:
— Philippians 4:19: God's traveler's check you can cash again and again
— Why Jesus sent His disciples without purse or scrip
— Peter at the temple gate: poorer than the beggar, richer than a king
— Covetousness: the respectable sin that ruins peace
— Why emergencies require a rested soul
— The trap of "buying more acres to raise more crops to buy more acres"
— How to be happy with little in a world chasing more

Key Quote: "It is a wonderful thing to have something so precious that you enjoy being in it for love's sake."

Peace, Joy, and Rest
Study #0198 | W.D. Frazee | February 24, 1976 | Wildwood, Georgia

How do we learn to sing in dungeons and caves? In this stirring Friday night vespers, Elder Frazee shows that true peace doesn't come from circumstances—it comes from a settled trust in God and a love that refuses to fight for its own rights.

Key Texts: John 14:27 | John 18:36 | John 19:10–11 | 1 Peter 2:21–23

In This Episode:
Drawing from Jesus' words to Pilate in the judgment hall, Elder Frazee unpacks a principle that changes everything: "My kingdom is not of this world—if it were, My servants would fight." But Christ's soldiers don't fight. They trust. They love. They commit themselves to Him who judges righteously.

Elder Frazee brings this truth into the daily grind—kitchens, classrooms, farms, and homes. Why does God place us among selfish people? Because unselfishness isn't something you catch like the flu. It's developed through friction, difficulty, and learning not to contend for your rights.

Topics Covered:
— Why government programs can't produce happiness
— Jesus' response to Pilate's threats—and what it means for us
— Why God doesn't ship us to a world of unselfish people
— The 12 disciples: 12 parties, each thinking himself the greatest
— "Jesus did not contend for His rights"
— The difference between self-preservation and divine love
— Holy blindness and holy deafness to insults and slights

Key Quote:
"When we are dead, and our life is hid with Christ in God, we shall not take neglects or slights to heart. We shall be deaf to reproach and blind to scorn and insult." — Thoughts from the Mount of Blessing, p. 16

What Saves Us
Study #0179 | W.D. Frazee | August 4, 1978 | Wildwood, Georgia

What really saves us—the cross, the grace of God, or the love behind it all? In this deeply moving study, Elder Frazee takes us on a journey from Calvary to the heavenly sanctuary, showing how every part of God's plan flows from one eternal source: His love.

Key Texts: John 3:16 | Titus 2:11 | Ephesians 1:3–7 | Hebrews 9:11–12

In This Episode:
Elder Frazee begins with the most quoted verse in Scripture and works backward—from the cross, to the grace that provided it, to the love that motivated it all. Using the illustration of a loaf of bread, he shows that salvation isn't found in analyzing doctrine, but in receiving a Person: Jesus Christ.

He also addresses one of theology's great questions: If grace saves us, what role does human choice play? With clarity and warmth, Elder Frazee explains that God predestined all to be saved—but never predestined anyone to be lost. The difference? Our choice. And even that choice is a gift from God.

Topics Covered:
— The difference between God's love and His grace
— Why the cross didn't create God's love—it revealed it
— Jesus as our wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption
— The bread illustration: Why analysis won't save us, but eating will
— Predestination rightly understood
— Why human choice matters and yet all glory belongs to God

This Generation
Study #0184 | W.D. Frazee | November 12, 1954 | Wildwood, Georgia

What did Jesus mean when He said, "This generation shall not pass"? In this powerful study given on the anniversary of the falling of the stars, Elder Frazee addresses one of the most pressing questions in Adventist theology—and offers a answer that will stir your soul.

Key Texts: Matthew 24:29–35 | Revelation 3:20

In This Episode:
On November 13, 1833, the stars fell from heaven—the last of the three great signs Jesus promised before His return. Elder Frazee walks through the dark day (1780), the dark moon, and the falling stars, showing from Scripture and the Spirit of Prophecy that these were specific, once-for-all events marking the generation that would see Christ's return.

But 121 years had passed since that final sign. What does that mean? Rather than revising our theology, Elder Frazee points us to the real issue: Jesus is at the door—and He's waiting for us to open it.

Topics Covered:
— The three signs in the heavens and why they're different from other signs
— What "this generation" really means
— Why prophetic time ended in 1844
— The connection between Matthew 24:33 and Revelation 3:20
— Elder A.G. Daniells' seven conclusions on the delay
— What is actually delaying Christ's return
— How we can hasten—or hinder—His coming

Key Quote:
"Christ is waiting with longing desire for the manifestation of Himself in His church. When the character of Christ shall be perfectly reproduced in His people, then He will come to claim them as His own." — Christ's Object Lessons, p. 69

Simplicity of Soul-Winning Study #0154 | W.D. Frazee | January 1, 1973 | Wildwood, Georgia

What does it really take to be a soul-winner? In this stirring New Year's devotional, Elder Frazee shares a fresh letter from missionary Bill Dull reporting from South India—and challenges every believer to make personal soul-winning the main business of their life.

Key Texts: Jeremiah 20:9 | 2 Corinthians 2:11

In This Episode:

Elder Frazee reads from a letter just received from South India, where thousands are accepting the Advent message and the union president is pleading for workers trained in medical missionary work and self-support. But the real message of this study is closer to home: soul-winning is not reserved for ministers or missionaries—it is the personal work of every follower of Christ.

With characteristic insight, Elder Frazee exposes two of Satan's favorite tactics: convincing us to leave where we are to find "where the action is," and suggesting that someone else is better qualified to reach the very soul God has burdened us to win.

Topics Covered: — Report from Bill Dull in South India — Why trips don't make missionaries — The Devil's "helpful" suggestions — How to begin: "Begin to pray for souls" — Finding your place in the divine scheme

Key Quote: "The work above all work—the business above all others which should draw and engage the energies of the soul—is the work of saving souls for whom Christ has died." — Messages to Young People, p. 227

Imminent Crisis Study #0145 | W.D. Frazee | October 21, 1976

In this sobering and timely message, Elder Frazee addresses the final battle in the age-long war between Christ and Satan—a conflict that centers on three things the dragon hates: the church, the commandments of God, and the testimony of Jesus.

Key Texts: Revelation 12:17 | John 6:41–42 | 1 Timothy 3:16 | 2 Timothy 3:16

In This Episode:

Drawing from the Introduction to The Great Controversy, Elder Frazee explains the mystery of inspiration—how the Bible, like Christ Himself, is both divine and human. Just as the Jews stumbled over accepting Jesus as both the Son of God and the Son of man, many today stumble over the Scriptures and the Spirit of Prophecy.

He warns that the "very last deception of Satan" will be to make of none effect the testimony of the Spirit of God, and that this crisis—which shook the church 70 years prior during the alpha of apostasy—will return in even greater force. The answer is not debate or dissection, but a personal, heart-deep experience with Jesus and His Word.

Topics Covered: — The threefold object of Satan's wrath: church, law, testimony — The alpha and omega of deadly heresies — Why we must not "dissect" inspiration — The foundation of Adventist medical missionary work — How to stand when the shaking comes

Giants
Study #0142 | W.D. Frazee | February 9, 1979 | Wildwood, Georgia

What do you do when you inherit problems that others left behind? In this practical and deeply encouraging study, Elder Frazee draws from the book of Judges to show how God uses unsolved problems as "laboratory material" for our spiritual growth.

Key Texts: Judges 3:1–3 | Romans 15:4 | Galatians 6:2 | Luke 10:37

In This Episode:

Using the Philistines and Canaanites left in the Promised Land as an illustration, Elder Frazee addresses a universal temptation: blaming our predecessors for the problems we face. Whether in the home, church, institution, or workplace, we all encounter "giants" that previous generations did not slay.

Rather than criticize, we are called to ask one question: "How can we help lift the load?" Drawing from examples like Caleb conquering Hebron, the Good Samaritan, and Jesus feeding the five thousand, Elder Frazee shows that every difficulty is a call to prayer—and an invitation to share in Christ's ministry of turning failures into victories.

Topics Covered: — Why God leaves problems for succeeding generations — Learning from predecessors without dwelling on their mistakes — The Skodsborg sanitarium crisis and the spirit of burden-bearing — Being willing to be interrupted like Jesus — Testimonies from the congregation

Sanctuary Message at Annual Council
Study #0137 | W.D. Frazee | October 13, 1974 | Loma Linda

In this powerful study given just days before the 130th anniversary of October 22, 1844, Elder Frazee examines the profound significance of the sanctuary cleansing and its implications for God's end-time people.

Key Texts: Daniel 8:14 | Leviticus 16:30 | Acts 3:19–20

In This Episode:

Elder Frazee explores how the cleansing of the sanctuary represents the climax of the entire plan of salvation. Using the compelling illustration of a hospital announcing its closure, he helps us understand the urgency of our time—the heavenly sanctuary that has dealt with the sin problem for millennia will soon close.

He addresses the two-apartment ministry of Christ: the first work to get sins covered, the second to get them blotted out. Nothing in the universe can accomplish this but the blood of Jesus—shed once on Calvary, yet continually presented by our High Priest.

Topics Covered: — The 2,300-day prophecy and its fulfillment — The Day of Atonement: type and antitype — Why Christ stands continually at the altar — The closing of probation and Revelation 22:11 — True repentance as a daily, continued exercise — Finding solutions at the mercy seat

Closing Hymn: "I Will Go with Him All the Way"
