by Jim Walters | 7 February 2023 | Are Adventists as honest about our religious lives, as some newspaper columnists and movie-directors are about their lives? This question jelled in my consciousness, prompted by three incidents within 24 hours two weekends ago—viewing the movie The Fabelmans, reading a column in the Los Angeles Times on […] Source: https://atoday.org/the-honest-progressive-truth/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-honest-progressive-truth
Fratelli, dobbiamo sempre ringraziare Dio per voi. È giusto che lo facciamo, perché la vostra fede fa grandi progressi, e l'amore che avete gli uni per gli altri aumenta ogni giorno …… perché voi rimanete fedeli, e continuate a credere anche in mezzo alle persecuzioni e alle difficoltà che dovete affrontare.

Al mudarme al noroeste del Pacífico conocí una realidad agrícola diferente. Nuestra península está rodeada de bosques, campos de arándanos y pesca. La cosecha aquí implica motosierras, grúas y estruendosos camiones madereros. En vez de trillar cebada o cortar heno para secarlo y empacarlo, los cultivadores de arándanos costeros abren tuberías y sistemas de riego […] Source: https://atoday.org/recogiendo-la-cosecha-nos-importa-quien-se-va/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=recogiendo-la-cosecha-nos-importa-quien-se-va
SILVER SPRING, Maryland — Today, over 120 years after sending Ellen G. White to Australia, the General Conference (GC) has issued a formal statement apologizing for “what was unequivocally a low move.” White was sent as a missionary to Australia after she clashed with GC leaders in the early 1890s while advocating for a number […] Source: https://atoday.org/satire-general-conference-formally-apologizes-for-banishing-ellen-white-to-australia/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=satire-general-conference-formally-apologizes-for-banishing-ellen-white-to-australia

It is a message calling us to worship the true God, escape the perils of Babylonian religion, and to reject the mark of the beast in favor of receiving the seal of God. But who is the beast? What is the mark? And what is Babylon and its false teachings? This magazine seeks to make this message clear, and prepare a people to stand when Jesus comes the second time!

As a young man who loved and feared God, Jacob nevertheless stooped to conspire with his mother, Rebekah, to deceive his father and gain his blessing. As a consequence, he started his adult life on the wrong path, having to flee or, perhaps, face an early death. Rebekah told Jacob to “flee thou to Laban … ; and tarry with him a few days, until thy brother’s fury turn away; … then I will send, and fetch thee” (Genesis 27:43-45). Jacob was actually gone for 20 years, and he never saw his mother’s face again.

“Through humiliation, repentance, and self-surrender, this sinful, erring mortal prevailed with the Majesty of heaven. He had fastened his trembling grasp upon the promises of God, and the heart of Infinite Love could not turn away the sinner’s plea. The error that had led to Jacob’s sin in obtaining the birthright by fraud was now clearly set before him. He had not trusted God’s promises, but had sought by his own efforts to bring about that which God would have accomplished in His own time and way. … Jacob had received the blessing for which his soul had longed. His sin as a supplanter and deceiver had been pardoned.” — Ellen G. White, Patriarchs and Prophets, Pages 197, 198.
The Bible informs us that all three of the patriarchs and their wives are buried in the same cave. Jacob’s trust in God was strong, and he considered himself a stranger and pilgrim on the earth (see Hebrews 11:13). Despite mistakes, he left home with nothing but came back to Canaan a wealthy man.
| Despite our mistakes, God can still bless us. How much better, however, to avoid the mistakes to begin with! What choices are you now facing, and how can you avoid making the wrong ones? |
