Four Misused Texts about Biblical Interpretation
by Olive Hemmings | 2 May 2022 | Much of what we say we know about Biblical interpretation is derived from what the Bible says about itself. While the Bible has the right to self-identify itself as an inspired book, the problem is that several of the oft-used passages are taken out of context, and […] Source: https://atoday.org/four-misused-texts-about-biblical-interpretation/
Stewardship Story: Adventist Education – David “A Life of Service”
#BCStewardshipStories This video features David Jukes, teacher at FVAA who recently came out of retirement to help our school who needed a Math teacher. He has taught for 46 years (now 47) as a committed teacher who loves teaching – what an achievement and a life of service in God’s Cause! There is no question that Bro. David received a high call from the Lord to minister to our young people in our schools. God has given him some special gifts and he shares them with those he minsters to. Bro. David has been an inspiration for his dedication and passion to instill in the young lives of our children not only with the desire for high academic achievement but also an example of a life of one who has accepted Jesus as his Savour and has dedicated the time to help shape characters for eternity!

Wednesday: The Babel Coalition
Read Genesis 14:1-17. What is significant about this war taking place just after the gift of the Promised Land? What does this story teach us about Abram?
This is the first war narrated in the Scriptures (Genesis 14:2). The coalition of four armies from Mesopotamia and Persia against the other coalition of five Canaanite armies, including the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 14:8), suggest a large conflict (Genesis 14:9).

The reason for this military operation has to do with the fact that the Canaanite peoples had rebelled against their Babylonian suzerains (Genesis 14:4-5). Although this story refers to a specific historical conflict, the timing of this “global” war, just after God’s gift of the Promised Land to Abram, gives this event a particular spiritual significance.
The involvement of so many peoples from the country of Canaan suggests that the issue at stake in this conflict was about sovereignty over the land. Ironically, the camp of Abram, the truly interested party, because he is the only true owner of the land, is the only force that remains outside of the conflict, at least at first.
The reason for Abram’s neutrality is that for Abram, the Promised Land was not acquired through the force of arms or through the wisdom of political strategies. Abram’s kingdom was God’s gift. The only reason Abram will intervene is the fate of his nephew Lot, who was taken prisoner in the course of the battles (Genesis 14:12-13).
“Abraham, dwelling in peace in the oak groves at Mamre, learned from one of the fugitives the story of the battle and the calamity that had befallen his nephew. He had cherished no unkind memory of Lot’s ingratitude. All his affection for him was awakened, and he determined that he should be rescued. Seeking, first of all, divine counsel, Abraham prepared for war.” — Ellen G. White, Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 135.
But Abram does not confront the whole coalition. In what must have been a quick and nocturnal commando operation, he attacks only the camp where Lot was held prisoner. Lot is saved. Thus, this faithful man of God also showed great courage and fortitude. No doubt his influence in the region grew, and people saw the kind of man he was and learned something more of the God whom he served.
| What kind of influence do our actions have on others? What kind of message are we sending about our faith by our actions? |
Amen!

Oakwood University: I Will Go – With God’s Institution
The Seventh-day Adventist Church established Oakwood University in Huntsville, Alabama, in 1896 to educate newly freed African-Americans in the South. Its mission is to transform students through Biblically-based education for serving God and humanity. To this day, the institution, formed by prominent Seventh-day Adventist World Church leaders, including co-founder and author, Mrs. Ellen G. White, continues to carry out its purpose of becoming the Lord's hands and feet in their community. The institution launched many initiatives to accomplish God's mission, observing Revelation 14 and Matthew 25 by giving God glory in the hour of His judgment, while also caring for the sick and needy. The current global status has not hampered the institution in fulfilling its mission, but rather has served as a springboard for launching several community-benefiting programs. Many individuals in their community have benefited and been blessed by its different projects, which God has used to proclaim the gospel and care for His children. Watch the full video to learn more about the various initiatives that Oakwood University has been involved in, up to this point. Be blessed and ready to respond to the call and say, "Here I am, Lord, I will go!" Want to learn more about the Seventh-day Adventist Church?
