Why Won’t My Mom Let Me Have Purple Hair?

18 October 2021 | Dear Aunt Sevvy, I’m 15 and I’m a Seventh-day Adventist, as are my parents. My style has always been a little on the eccentric side, while still following Adventist values. I’ve always wanted my hair an unnatural color but my mom thinks only “weirdos” have “weird” hair colors. She doesn’t want […]

Is Ernie Knoll Our Church’s New Prophet?

11 October 2021 | Is Ernie Knoll a new prophet approved by our church? He claims to have dreams from God. Signed, Searcher Dear Searcher: Ernie Knoll appeared on the Adventist scene about fifteen years ago, with some spectacular claims to divine messages.

ATSS PRESENTS: Mathilde Frey

Righteousness by Faith is a Wrestling Match with God To believe is to wrestle with God. It is in the moments when we question God, when we doubt God, that we are closest to God. Abraham was not called faithful and righteous when he was on top of Mount Moriah willing to offer up his […]

How can I invite picky eaters to Sabbath lunch?

4 October 2021 Dear Aunt Sevvy: Now that we expect the intensity of the pandemic to decline, I’m looking forward to again inviting people over on Sabbath after church to continue our fellowship over food. But it seems that what you eat and don’t eat nowadays is more important than fellowship. Who wants to fix […]

Righteousness by Faith Is a Wrestling Match with God

30 September 2021 | Read this paper for our class this week. To believe is to wrestle with God. It is in the moments when we question God, when we doubt God, that we are closest to God. But that’s often not how righteousness by faith is presented or understood. Sola fide, the central doctrine […]

Why don’t our church leaders follow Fundamental Belief 14?

27 September 2021 | Dear Aunt Sevvy, Adventist Fundamental Belief 14 says that “distinctions of race, culture, learning, and nationality, and differences between high and low, rich and poor, male and female, must not be divisive among us.… we are to serve and be served without partiality or reservation.” So why do the General Conference […]

Aunty, why isn’t the Old Testament God like Jesus?

20 September 2021 | Dear Aunt Sevvy, After reading through the New Testament a number of times, I came to see God as a loving Father who stood by me in all kinds of situations.

AT1 — September 17, 2021

Fear is a natural human emotion. We all face fears on a regular basis. What we do with our fears is so important. Do we give them to God, and invite others to join us in praying that we can trust God to work it out, rather than us worrying or working on our […]

New Reader Comments:

“While I have read many thousands of books in my lifetime, I have never written to an author to express my appreciation before. Now I am writing to do just that: after reading Adventist Tomorrow: Fresh Ideas While Waiting for Jesus I am deeply moved … As I read each chapter, I found myself responding “Amen and amen!”… I read many chapters aloud to my wife… your articulations and critiques of Adventism might have come from my mind and heart.. It felt so good to read your words… many of my friends and colleagues have left Adventism over issues you address that they find incompatible with their value systems, like male headship, homophobia, legalism, and authoritarianism. I have held on, hoping and believing that I was not alone in a more progressive understanding of God’s intention for our movement…”

*****

“Reading… Adventist Tomorrow. Thanks for lubricating my squeaky spiritual ‘wheels.’ You have helped me put together thoughts about God that have been lurking in my head that I have been afraid to pursue…the chapter titled, Jesus Alone…is the best so far.”

*****

“Jack is a committed Adventist Christian who cares deeply about his church. He has written this book to build on what Adventism has been and is to what it can and must become. In his words, “Change is uncomfortable, but things that don’t grow die.”… I recommend this book to Adventists who want to see their church fulfill its potential. I also recommend it to any one who cares about the Bible as a guide to a meaningful life.”

“ Totally honest…but very caring and loving.” “The danger in Jack’s book is that it will make you think!” “It challenged my assumptions and gives me hope for a more relevant church.” “If you are (or were) an Adventist and enjoy new approaches, this is a book you should read.” “I bought 3 copies. Love the book.”
“It has been a genuine pleasure and a relief…you have added very richly to…the Adventist soul itself.”

“We talk enough about the Adventist past and the frustrating present, but the future is a blank slate. Adventist Tomorrow is a guidebook to that future.”
