Charles E. Bradford: Chosen Builder of God’s Church

by Christopher C. Thompson  |  15 February 2019  |   I’m not sure exactly when it happened for me, but I have long been enamored with super-seniors. Particularly for me there is something about the builder generation (those born around 1925-1945). My mom’s mom was a builder. A block away from my grandmother lived another builder […]

Rocking Our Geological Orthodoxy?

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 […]

The Motivations of Real Love

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 […]

My Summer as a Literature Evangelist

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 […]

The Mystery of the Infinite Turtle

by Erv Taylor  |  05 February 2019  | In his book, A Brief History of Time, Nobel Prize laureate, the late noted British physicist, Stephen Hawking, related one of the versions of a widely quoted story which many of us may already have read or heard: “A well-known scientist delivered a public lecture on astronomy. […]

A Third Reconstruction?

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 […]

When People Find Jesus in a Different Church, Part 2: The Sectarian Identity

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 […]

The Perfect Adventist Couple?

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.

So You Want a Theocracy? Are You Sure?

by Sonja DeWitt  |  2 February 2019  | There’s a powerful conservative Christian movement in this country which finds the idea of a theocracy powerfully attractive. Imagine: a government like ancient Israel’s, with God directly in charge, favoring his chosen people with blessing and prosperity and cursing their enemies with dire punishments. A righteous nation […]
