Spiritualism in the Church

by Lizwi Alpha Ntuli  |  14 November 2018  |   The Adventist church in Africa is sometimes regarded in the West as the ideal and model of true conservative Adventism—and in some ways it is. Adventists in Africa tend to take the Bible as it reads. They believe Ellen White is a prophet of God. I […]

Facebook, I Love the Way You Lie

This article is reprinted from the Summer, 2018 Adventist Today magazine. If you would like to receive the quarterly magazine, become a member here. by Lindsey Painter  |  12 November 2018  | We are in a social media age! At least, that’s what all the articles say that pop up on Facebook and Twitter (oh, […]

A New Interpretation of the Little Horn of Daniel 7

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. The authors of this piece are scholars known to the Adventist Today editors, who have asked to remain anonymous. Knowing […]

Reading What’s There – Part 5: Cain and Abel

by Steven Siciliano  |  07 November 2018  | Most people who’ve been exposed to the Western cultural tradition know that Cain killed his brother Abel and that, before the murder, God had rejected Cain’s offering. Fewer individuals take time to consider exactly why Cain’s offering was rejected, or what his gift intended to accomplish in […]

Bareheaded Corinthian Women

by Jack Hoehn | 2 November 2018 | Shouldn’t Christian women just admit that they are born to lives of subservience? Paul has written things to the church in Corinth difficult to accept. But if Paul said it, and I understand it, doesn’t that settle it? Let’s journey with Jack to Corinth to see if […]

#NADYEM18: On Tithe Parity

by Loren Seibold  |  6 November 2018  | When the history of this church is written, the NAD Year-end Meeting of 2018 will be part of that history. 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 […]

Walt’s Law: A Reflection on the NADYEM18 Discussion

by Larry Downing  |  5 November 2018  | On Sunday, November 4, 2018, I watched most of the morning North American year-end meetings. Unlike many other such sessions, this morning’s meeting countered what I, over the years, came to refer to as Walt’s Law. Walt’s Law had its origin in the late 1960s when Ed Zackrison […]

What Are We Waiting for Now?

By Carmen Seibold  |  2 November 2018  |   Like a lot of my generation, it didn’t occur to me when I was a child that women could be pastors. But when it was suggested to me, perhaps some time when I was in college, there didn’t seem to me to be any reason why they […]

NAD Year-end Meeting, Day Two

by Loren Seibold  |  2 November 2018  | I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: what a difference between a General Conference (GC) meeting and a North American Division (NAD) meeting! When I first started going to these meetings, both were in the same building in Silver Spring. Even there it was apparent. […]

NAD Year-end Meeting, Day One

by the AT Reporting Team  |  1 November 2018  | Anticipation is in the air for this year’s North American Division (NAD) Year-end Meeting. You can see it, hear it, and feel it. Typically there are around 300 members, invitees, and guests who attend the Executive Committee that oversees the ministries that serve Bermuda in […]

Lessons of a Working Mum

by Melody Tan | 25 October 2018 | Last night, after my two-year-old forced me to repeatedly sing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” and “The A-B-C Song” (or “The Alphabet Song”), I made a startling discovery. For the first time in my almost 40 years of existence, it occurred to me that both songs have the […]
