This is Study 14 (of 37) from the Canadian Camp Meeting of 1983. The theme is on the Philadelphian Church, as recorded in Revelation 3:7-13.

This study covers trials, the spirit of self-sacrifice, and Christ's life of holiness.

Fred Wright (1925-1997) was the founder of the Sabbath Rest Advent Church. Originally raised as a Seventh-day Adventist, he later found that he had never truly understood or experienced the new birth. It was through a revival of the 1888 gospel message of A.T. Jones and E.J. Waggoner that he found this experience. He came to a realization that sin is "not what you do, but what you are," and that real forgiveness involved not just taking away guilt for wrong actions, but removing of the roots of sin in the heart of man.

Fred was later disfellowshipped from the Adventist church (around the mid-1950's) for refusing to stop teaching this message to others. Shortly after, the Lord called him to full-time ministry, and the message he taught grew and expanded over the next 40 years of his life. All the themes he taught were grounded and centered in that beginning message of living righteousness over the power of sin.
