As no specific medication is available for COVID-19, and no vaccine will be ready in the near future, it may be useful to […]

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 […]

By Gary Patterson  |  29 February 2020  | In preparation for the upcoming General Conference (GC) Session it is important that we have the facts straight. Fact #1 – Ordination is not a biblical issue. Fact #2 – The Ordination of Women to ministry is not now and never has been forbidden by Seventh-day Adventist […]

by Jack Hoehn | February 27, 2020 | There is a problem with survival. The older you get, the longer you live, the fewer friends you have left. Because they keep dying off on you. I am a medical doctor and in my youthful practice I worked in constant life and death situations in mission […]

By Robbin Lewis  | 26 February 2020  |   It is an issue that is painfully visible, but still too hot to touch.  Here we Adventists are in 2020, still separate. Our white churches still have white pastors, our black churches have black pastors. We even have separate administrative structures. Some believe, but rarely speak about, […]

by Loren Seibold  |  25 February (Shrove Tuesday) 2020  | “In the week immediately before Lent everyone shall go to his confessor and confess his deeds and the confessor shall so shrive him as he then may hear by his deeds what he is to do in the way of penance.” —Ælfric of Eynsham, Ecclesiastical […]

by Fred Cornforth  |  21 February 2020  |   God must be a Kansas City Chiefs fan—which will surely disappoint my San Francisco 49ers fan wife. Just listen to how many players give God the credit for touchdowns and games won on miraculous plays. Athletes receiving on-field glory clearly want to give the credit to someone […]

by Kris Stevenson  |  20 February 2020  | A.D. 30 (+ or –) He was always too sharing, too trusting. The neighbor kids didn’t even have to bully him to get his lunch money. So it wasn’t a surprise when he admitted he had a sandwich when Jesus’ disciples started sniffing around. He and Mom […]

by André Reis  |  19 February 2020  | As Adventists all over the world gather to engage with the book of Daniel this quarter, some of us wonder, “What would Daniel think about our creative readings of his book if he were present?” As last quarter ended and we began this one, I perused the […]
