Aunty, should Christians speak in tongues?
18 March 2o24 | Dear Aunt Sevvy, As I understand it, our church says that “tongues” in the New Testament is the ability to have the gospel understood in a foreign language, as happened in Acts 2 on the Day of Pentecost. But when I read 1 Corinthians 14 it seems that there is also […] Source: https://atoday.org/sevvy-speaking-in-tongues/
Tuesday: Lord, Who May Abide in Your Tabernacle?
Daily Lesson for Tuesday 19th of March 2024
Read Psalms 15:1-5. Who are the people worthy of worshiping in God’s presence?
The answer given in this psalm is the summary of the requirements already given in God’s law and the prophets: the ones whose actions (“works righteousness”) and character (“in his heart”) (see Deuteronomy 6:5, Micah 6:6-8) are a reflection of God.
The sanctuary was a holy place, and everything in it, including the priests, was consecrated. Thus, holiness is a mandatory requirement for entering the presence of God. Israel’s holiness was to be comprehensive, uniting worship with ethics and exercised in all aspects of life. The law was given to God’s people to enable them to fulfill their greatest potential (i.e., live as a kingdom of priests). The royal priesthood includes a life of holiness in the presence of God and bringing the covenant blessings to other nations.
Read Psalms 24:3-6 and Psalms 101:1-3. What does it mean to be holy?
“A perfect heart” is the worshiper’s greatest quality before God. The Hebrew tamim, “perfect,” conveys the notion of “completeness” and “wholeness.” A “perfect” vine is whole, undamaged, and healthy (Ezekiel 15:5). Animals offered as sacrifices had to be tamim, or without blemish (Leviticus 22:21-24). “Perfect” speech is entirely truthful (Job 36:4). A “perfect heart” thus is a “pure heart” (Psalms 24:4) or a heart of integrity (Psalms 15:2). It seeks God (Psalms 24:6) and is restored by God’s forgiveness (Psalms 51:2-10). A blameless life springs from the acknowledgment of God’s grace and His righteousness. Divine grace inspires and enables God’s servants to live in the fear of the Lord, which means to live in unhindered fellowship with God and in submission to His Word. A testimony of a devoted and pious life brings praise to God and not to one’s own self. Notice that most requirements in Psalms 15:1-5 are given in negative terms (Psalms 15:3-5). This is not about earning God’s favor but about avoiding the things that would separate us from God.
How can we make conscious choices to avoid the things that push us away from God? What are some of those things, and how can we avoid doing them?

Editorial: Prayer isn’t enough for people with serious mental illnesses
When I was young, I had a relative who struggled with deep depression. Our small Adventist community was our main point of reference for everything health-related. Some would even travel hundreds of miles to see the Adventist physicians who had a clinic in Wahpeton in the far southeastern corner of the state. As for mental […] Source: https://atoday.org/the-difference-between-spiritual-health-mental-health/
