10 July 2023 | Dear Aunt Sevvy. I’m 16 years old and I’m trying to strengthen my relationship with Christ. I really want to know if wearing jeans is a sin for women. Signed, Hard Decisions Dear Decisions, Aunty realizes that you are from another part of the world, with cultural mores that Aunty might […]
3 July 2023 | Dear Aunty, We have a daughter who is causing us headaches. We have brought her up in the ways of the Lord. We have educated her in one of our prestigious universities. But this girl has failed to see her value and is always running after men. Please advise us. Signed, […]
26 June 2023 | Dear Aunt Sevvy, As a lifelong Adventist I thought I knew most of the Old Testament passages and stories. But recently I began reading through the Old Testament from the beginning, and it didn’t take me long to see that it contains a different picture from the selection of stories they […]
19 June 2023 | Dear Aunt Sevvy, A friend of mine dropped her membership over the church’s stand on LGBTQ people and women. Knowing that even a small percentage of her tithe was being used to harm and demean people was more than she could tolerate. Is she right? Does my continued membership and financial […]
12 June 2023 | Dear Aunt Sevvy, Aunty, I’m not one of those people who hates LGBTQ people. Some of my best friends are gay. But recently when I was talking to my gay cousin, I mentioned something about his “gay lifestyle” and he got all huffy. He said he didn’t like that term applied […]
5 June 2023 | Dear Aunt Sevvy, The way people dress for church nowadays is disgusting. Even restaurants and pubs have a dress code. And yet people seem to come to church in almost anything. I’ve even been surprised by what some pastors wear in the pulpit. What happened to a nice long dress and […]
29 May 2023 | Dear Aunt Sevvy, Every time someone experiences a tragedy, some dear old saint has to chime in and tell the grieving person that they just have to trust God’s will. It makes me want to scream. I know they mean well, but telling a person that God wanted this tragedy to […]

8 May 2023 | Dear Aunt Sevvy, How unChristlike were your comments about the founder and family of 3ABN! The devil is the accuser of the brethren. What I want to know is why denominational leadership changed our logo from the three angels to a logo that looks just like the Methodists and Presbyterians—without even […]
1 May 2023 | Dear Aunt Sevvy, Can you resolve a discussion a friend and I had this past Easter? She believes Jesus left his body and preached to the dead the Sabbath after His death, before His resurrection on Sunday morning. I have never heard this before. Can you shed some light, please? Signed, […]
24 April 2023 | Dear Aunt Sevvy, Our congregation has about 300 members, though many aren’t active. We have had the same pastoral couple for nearly 17 years. At the beginning they worked with the young people—we used to have a church school—but our congregation has aged. The elderly people have felt unseen by the […]
17 April 2023 | Dear Aunt Sevvy, I met a man seven years ago. He was engaged to be married. He told me he had second thoughts about marrying, but he got married a month after we met, and is still married. I am totally in love with this guy. He comes once a week […]
