by Roy Gane | March 6, 2020 | An October 2019 article in Adventist Today by André Reis raises some objections to the Seventh-day Adventist interpretation of Daniel 9:25, which specifies the event that commences the “seventy weeks” prophesied in verses 24-27. Seventh-day Adventists view the “seventy weeks” as the first segment (70 x 7 […]
by Zack Payne | 3 March 2020 | When I first moved to Wisconsin in 2012, I was a vegetarian. I’d just gotten an apartment in Green Bay, and my parents and I were out exploring Door County for the first time. We stopped at a restaurant for lunch and asked if they had any […]

by Denis Fortin | 1 March 2020 | Read part 1 here. We Adventists have a fundamental belief on the topic of Christian unity, and in 2017 we had a Sabbath School Bible study guide on unity in Christ. Which makes all the more surprising the reaction to Giovanni Caccamo, the Italian pastor who signed an […]

28 February 2020 | Dear Aunt Sevvy, I have been dating my boyfriend for about 8 months. We are both in our last year of college and I have been thinking maybe he is the one I’ll end up marrying. But last week I discovered that he looks at pornography. I was very upset when […]

You could say I’m a veteran by now, but only as an attendee. I’m not involved in any official capacity. IMHO (in my humble opinion), the One Project is […]
by Fred Cornforth | 21 February 2020 | God must be a Kansas City Chiefs fan—which will surely disappoint my San Francisco 49ers fan wife.
