2 April 2021  | Dear Aunt Sevvy, I’ve been listening to Dr. Walter Veith, and the things he says trouble me. His talks appear to be mostly about conspiracies. What do you think?  Slightly Suspicious Dear Suspicious, Walter Veith (pronounced with a long “i”, like “rice”) is a popular Adventist speaker and writer from South […]

2 March 2021  | Dear Aunt Sevvy My wife and I holidayed last year near a naturist/nudist beach. We tried it and enjoyed the sun on our entire bodies, with absolutely no sexual activity. Is this wrong? Isn’t it as God originally intended in the garden of Eden? And doesn’t it also conform with our […]

12 March 2021  | Dear Aunt Sevvy, I’ve heard complaints about the GC being postponed again, thereby lengthening Pastor Wilson’s term again without a vote. I’ve also heard rumors of votes being “bought” with promises of funding for certain third world missions, conferences and unions. Are there any facts to support such claims? Sincerely, Transparency […]

5 March 2021  | Dear Aunt Sevvy, My wife and I visited a church this weekend in a small city. There were maybe 25 people in attendance. The sermon was a fiery one about Biden being in cahoots with the Pope, and how environmentalism is going to turn to socialism which is going to turn […]

26 February 2021  | Dear Aunt Sevvy, Several friends and family have safely received their COVID vaccines with minimal side effects. I’m planning to be vaccinated, but all the conspiracy theories are starting to get to me. Should I wait and see? I’m 95% sure it’s fake news, but the government always tells us only […]

12 February 2021  | Dear Aunt Sevvy, My great-grandparents looked forward to Jesus’ soon coming. My grandparents believed they would be alive to see Jesus come. My parents clung to the Blessed Hope knowing they’d wake up to see Jesus in the clouds.  They are all at rest, and we’re still here.  The world seems […]

15 January 2021  | Dear Aunt Sevvy, In the Covid-19 pandemic our church is meeting indoors, wearing masks and distancing.  But we haven’t had communion service for months. Part of the problem is the closeness required for foot washing.  Is it okay to serve the emblems (in a careful way) without doing foot washing first?  […]

8 January 2021  | Dear Aunt Sevvy, Is it wrong to go out and be happy instead of staying at home after church on a Sabbath? Bored Sabbath-keeper Dear Bored, The Bible tells how one Sabbath Jesus and his disciples were out walking. They picked some grain to munch on—and of course, the churchmen, critical […]

Dear Aunt Sevvy, My son is mildly autistic. In kindergarten through third grade he was in the Adventist school—but he was doing worse and worse. Now he is doing very well in a public school under an Individualized Education Program that includes in-school tutors, occupational therapists, and school counselors. It’s working! But when we enrolled him in the […]

Dear Aunt Sevvy, I’m a professional artist and a letterer. I have been doing graffiti legally for six years. I think of it as a way to witness. But I still have people telling me that it’s the wrong medium to share God through. What should I do? Public Art for Jesus Dear Public Art, […]

6 November 2020  | Dear Readers: Someone asked Aunt Sevvy recently, “Which of your letters and answers have garnered the most responses from readers?”  Aunty would like to say that it was one of the many that had to do with improving family relationships, or showing mercy to others, or using spiritual principles to solve […]
