Minimizing the Risk of the Silly Season

He had to admit, it disturbed him. He later began to understand a little of what the innocent feel when falsely accused. The occasion lent rise to false statements, speculation as fact, and an abundant amount of curiosity. It was the weeks leading up to another conference session. Somehow, without knowing his thoughts or his […]

In the Face of Persecution

Whether it’s a fair question or not is open to debate, but it’s difficult to be around some Adventists for long without hearing something about persecution. From the very start of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the United States, the founders believed that Bible […]

Abandoning the Silent Treatment

He knew he must have done something wrong because his wife was giving him the silent treatment. When he asked what he had done to upset her, she simply ignored him, leaving him guessing and frustrated. In her mind, her silence was justified because she wanted to send him a message. Little did she […]

Dealing With the Hard Issues

He knew he shouldn’t have ignored the Check Engine light, but he had done what he always did with most bothersome things—ignored it, thinking it would take care of itself. But not this time. The car wouldn’t start. Even though some people say they enjoy a challenge, I wonder if they look forward to facing […]

New Life Emerges from Disaster

Who could have imagined any joy amidst the horror and destruction caused by the 7.8 magnitude earthquake along the border of Turkey and Syria three days ago on Monday, February 6, 2023? Yet, a day after, as rescue workers desperately searched under rubble to find survivors, a newborn baby girl was pulled out alive. Whilst […]

Whose Job Is It Anyway?

My reaction had always been to reject the invitation. After the long wait times of modern air travel, why should I give up my seat on a flight and take a later one? Apparently, most people share my opinion because whenever an airline call for volunteers because of an overbooked flight, there is no mad […]

Champions of Freedom

January 21, 2023, was Religious Liberty Day. A day that celebrates the freedom to worship and practice one’s faith. Why should this matter to the Seventh-day Adventist Church? Many may not have heard of the Public Affairs and Religious Liberty (PARL) department of the General Conference (GC). Yet, this department, like all the rest, is […]

“I’m Allergic to Gossip but Twinned with Prayer”

Let me tell you a story. Shortly after the new pastor arrived at the church, he was forced to make a statement to the congregation. Since his arrival, he had been approached a few times by some members who, he felt, were attempting to ingratiate themselves with him. They were attempting to draw him into […]
