14 February 2019 | The Times of India has reported that government regulators may no longer allow Spicer University to function as an accredited university in India.

By Sven Östring | 13 February 2019 | I am delighted and encouraged to read that John McLarty is committed to being a lifelong student and enquirer after truth. This is evident from his careful and fairly accurate observations regarding the spectrum of creationist positions within the Seventh-day Adventist church. It is also evident from […]
by Ronald Lawson | 13 February 2019 | We have uploaded two closely-related papers to my web-site. The title of the first is “From Sect Towards Denomination: Tracing the Trajectory of Seventh-day Adventism in the USA over Time.” Many Adventists become upset when Adventists are referred to as a “sect.” (One such uproar occurred on […]
by TJ Sands | 13 February 2019 | I am coming across the idea more and more that love is fleeting. That love doesn’t last, and it definitely doesn’t last as long as we would like. But is it true? Love and Money In the month of February (especially during the days leading up to […]
by Arthur Klym | 12 February 2019 | My earliest memories of public prayers, and hence the model I used when I learned to pray, included a phrase nearly as ubiquitous as “In Jesus name, amen.” It may sound strange to the ear of recent generations of Seventh-day Adventist youth, but to the children of […]
By Werner E. Lange | 10 February 2018 | This is commentary for Lesson 7, The Seven Trumpets The description of the events that take place when the trumpets are sounded (Rev 8-9) is one of the most controversial parts of Revelation—even among Adventist interpreters, who come to very different conclusions about what these events mean. […]
Melissa Brotton | 10 Sunday 2019 | “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. 2 Chronicles 16:9 NKJV There is a way to hear God, we are told in Scripture. Psalmists such as David, […]
7 February 2018 | Aunt Sevvy isn’t answering a question this week. Instead, she wants to talk to you about Valentine’s Day. Historically, Valentine’s day started out as a quasi-religious holiday—a feast day to the now-demoted St. Valentine, who may never have actually existed. But who cares? Even in its present commercialized form, Aunt Sevvy […]
by Dr. Sydney Freeman, Jr. | 6 February 2019 | Earlier this year as I was checking my Facebook statuses, I saw that a colleague of mine had posted a message about the need to study the U.S. presidency of Andrew Johnson in light of our current political and societal climate. Johnson had previously served […]
by Loren Seibold | 6 February 2019 | Read Part 1 here. Theologically, we Seventh-day Adventists are acceptably Protestant. The whole first half of The Great Controversy, arguably our most defining book, celebrates the Reformation. Most of us could say all but a line of the Apostles’ Creed without flinching—and all of it if we […]
By Loren Seibold | 5 February 2019 | Some years ago a friend of mine, raised and educated in the Seventh-day Adventist church, revealed to his parents that he was joining a church of another denomination. It is important for you to understand that he wasn’t becoming a spiritualist or a Scientologist or even a […]
4 February 2019 | I didn’t want to date him. But a simple “no” didn’t stop him from asking me out. Over the course of the next three months he pursued me hard—flattery, gifts, big gestures—all to prove his interest in me. “He’s a good Christian man,” our friends said. “He’s involved in the church.
