by James Brauer | 2 June 2018 | I don’t really want to write this article. I’d prefer to just pretend the problem weren’t true. Speaking as a victim, I ask myself: Will anyone believe me? Will I be able to handle the negative reaction to my pointing fingers at important people for their having […]
It was with significant interest and with some degree of concern that I read the article “Why I Think an All-Powerful God Might Not Exist” by Stephen Ferguson dated 16 May 2018 published in the May 18, 2018 issue of Adventist today.

Shechem, a Canaanite Don Juan, had raped Dinah. Her brothers, Simeon and Levi, wreaked vengeance upon the male inhabitants to restore the diminished honor of Jacob’s family (Genesis […]
by Rebecca Murdock | 17 May 2018 | “Ladies and Gentleman, make sure your seat backs and folding trays are in their full, upright position.

by Alvin Masarira | 16 May 2018 | A number of Seventh-day Adventist church matters are ending up in the public courts of law around the world, even when the contesting parties are all members, entities and institutions of the church.
