by John Phiri | 26 November 2018 | Emile Durnkheim, one of the founders of modern sociology, argued that “God is nothing more than a symbol representation of the collective energy and dominant values of the society that worships Him.” Any image of God, according to Durkheim is characterized by those traits which the society […]
If Trump Is the Little Horn, Is Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi the King of the North? By Stephen Ferguson | 23 November 2018 | I was fascinated to read Adventist Today’s recent article, “A New Interpretation of the Little Horn of Daniel 7”. To recap: the article suggested, amongst other matters, “the little horn of Daniel […]
by Lindsey Abston Painter | 22 November 2018 | Today on the internet I came across a video that was said to be “created by lay members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church” and “produced in partnership with the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.” It was about women’s ordination, unity, and the infamous compliance document voted […]

By Benjamin Baker | 19 November 2018 | I was pleased to see the article “Adventist History, Herstory, and Ourstory: Towards a People’s History of the Origin of Black Adventism” by my friends and brothers Sydney Freeman and Maury Jackson.

3 November 2018 | Many prophetic articles we receive are restatements of what has been said by Adventists for 150 years. We have chosen to give a forum here to a novel and untraditional view.

Whether good or ill will probably depend on the historian. Some are already trotting out the entirely inapplicable tale of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. It’s not because […]
By Loren Seibold | 5 November 2018 Financial Report Monday morning was devoted to the financial report. You would be better served by someone who can explain this in ways that would satisfy the number-heads among you. I am lucky if I can basically capture a big picture. So I’ll start with what I […]
At the end of today’s (5 November) NADYEM meeting, Elder Dan Jackson held everyone back for a few minutes and began speaking from his heart.
