by Terry Bottrell | 22 November 2022 | Our children learn about literary devices such as hyperbole and similes when they study literature in school. They also investigate different literary genres such as poetry, drama, and narrative, as well as different approaches to drawing meaning from a text. These lessons are important not just for […]
by Esther Loewen | 18 November 2022 | While I am transgender and a woman married to a woman, I am also white, educated, conventionally abled, Christian, fertile, and socially well-networked. I own my own home and vehicles, I am in my 40s, and I speak and write fluently in English. All this is to […]
by Hannele Ottschofski | 17 November 2022 | I am slowly waking up to the realization that the church that I belong to, and where I have grown up, with which I have identified myself for my whole life, has changed. It is no longer the church I joined when I was baptized 60 years […]
by Rajaratnam Jones | 11 November 2022 | I was born and brought up in a village in India where almost 100% of the population was Christian. Missionaries from England had come here about 250 years ago and evangelized this area. My grandfather’s parents had been Hindus. Seventh-day Adventist missionaries came to Mukuperi, a very […]
by Richard W. Coffen | 10 November 2022 | The field of theology includes a subcategory called theodicy—the defense of God in light of the existence of evil. I’ve read several books on the topic and am currently reading another. I generally find myself arguing with their arguments. After all, who authorized a mere finite […]
by Thandazani Mhlanga | 8 November 2022 | At midnight on November 14, 1960, Robert Raymond Cook made the fateful trip to the gallows from his cell in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta—the last man to be hanged in the province of Alberta. Because of how the trial seemed to have been argued on circumstantial evidence, much […]
by Paul Priest | 4 November 2022 | In previous articles here I have argued that Genesis 1 and 2 represent two separate creations. I have suggested that one speaks of the creation of life, the other the elevation of the previously created hominins to humankind. Genesis 4 and 5 introduce two interesting terms that […]
by Nerida Taylor Bates | 3 November 2022 | I’ll never forget something that I saw when coming out of my kindergarten Sabbath School when I was five years old. The hall under our small church was completely empty except for a young woman with teased hair, go-go boots, and short mini skirt, kneeling in […]
by Loren L. Fenton | 1 November 2022 | The Apostle John wrote in the prologue of his gospel, “The Word (Jesus) became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory . . . full of grace and truth” (John 1:14). Throughout our history, we Seventh-day Adventists have preached countless sermons and taught […]
by S.M. Chen | 28 October 2022 | The above words were used by famed physicist Albert Einstein (1879-1955) to describe the phenomenon of quantum entanglement. There were likely very few things in life Einstein wanted to understand but didn’t or couldn’t. This may have been one even he had difficulty wrapping his head around. […]
by Admiral Ncube | 27 October 2022 A unique feature about Adventism has always been our eschatological view of the world and our nuanced understanding of the sin problem. Because we relate to the world through eschatological lenses, we have an inherent mistrust of ecumenism, and an indifference towards politics and social justice issues—unless, of […]
by David Geelan | 25 October 2022 | Is it possible, or will it become possible with technological advances, to ‘record’ a human mind into a computer?
