Know How to Help Children Who Are Struggling During COVID-19
After 6-7 months of being home, not being able to go to school, see their friends or family, and play with their neighbors. How are our #children doing? How are they being impacted by #COVID-19? Find answers to these questions in this week’s episode of #ANN In-Depth. #Teachers and #parents are worried about social interaction and the connection of being online for #school. Teachers and parents are also worried about keeping their kids safe at in-person school–where many times, young people have to wear masks all day. Kids hear their parents talking about grown-up topics: Death, COVID-19, war, politics, racism, protests, blasts in Beirut, wildfires in Australia and California — and how are they processing this information? This week we are joined by Dr. Leisa Morton-Standish and Dr. Linda Koh. Dr. Morton-Standish is the Director of Elementary Education at the North American Division. Dr. Koh is the Director of the Children’s Ministries Department at the Seventh-day Adventist Church World Headquarters. LEARN ABOUT THESE MINISTRIES Adventist Education:

September Presidential Message | AWR360º
I don’t know about you, but there are times when going forward is difficult—even downright scary—and all we want to do is turn and run. God knew this when He inspired Paul to say, “Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:13, 14) No matter how difficult the road ahead, God says, “Press forward!” We are living in uncertain and confusing times, with upheaval not only in the political and civil world, but in nature itself. Amid the chaos, God bids us to shine His light in the darkness, promising that the darker the night, the brighter we’ll shine—if we don’t turn and hide! I am excited to share with you this month an unforgettable experience I had in the Congo (DRC) many years ago. It taught me a lesson that I still apply in my life today—because pressing forward and shining God’s light is what Adventist World Radio is all about! – President Duane McKey MB01UTPA1TYKIGF Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36Rd39xzyJI
A Practical Lesson in Ecumenism and Systematic Christianity
by Robert Martin | 17 September 2020 | The Seventh-day Adventist church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and the Jehovah’s Witnesses, are a trio of American-born religions with a strong proselytizing profile. Historically these three religions have been distinguished by, among other things, a high state of tension with the surrounding socio-cultural […] Source: https://atoday.org/a-practical-lesson-in-ecumenism-and-systematic-christianity/
The Cities Are to Be Warned
And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. Revelation 14:8.
Individually and as a people we have a most solemn work before us. There is a daily preparation of heart and mind to be gained in order that we may be fitted to work out the purposes of God for us. The perils of the last days are upon us, and at this time we are each determining what our destiny for eternity shall be. Individually we are to form characters that will stand the test of the judgment. Individually we are to give, in the church where we are, an example of faithfulness and consecration.
The ministry of the Word is designed to prepare a people to stand in the times of temptation in which we live; and church members are to cooperate with the work of [the] ministry by revealing in the life the principles of the truth, that no word shall be spoken or act performed that will lead into false paths or create a condition of things that God cannot approve.
There has been revealed to me the grave dangers we shall meet in these last days of peril and temptation. Our only reliable light and guide for this time is in the Word of God. We must take this Word as our counselor, and faithfully follow its instructions, or we shall find that we are being controlled by our own peculiar traits of character, and our lives will reveal a selfish work that will be a hindrance and not a blessing to our fellow men….
It is the duty of those who stand as leaders and teachers of the people to instruct church members how to labor in missionary lines, and then to set in operation the great, grand work of proclaiming widely this message, that must arouse every unworked city before the crisis shall come, when, through the working of satanic agencies, the doors now open to the message of the third angel shall be closed….
The righteous judgments of God, with their weight of final decision, are coming upon the land. Do not hover over the churches to repeat over and over again the same truths to the people, while the cities are left in ignorance and sin, unwarned and unlabored for. Soon the way will be hedged up and these cities will be closed to the gospel message. Wake up the church members, that they may unite in doing a definite and self-denying work….
The world is preparing for the closing work of the third angel’s message. The truth is now to go forth with a power that it has not known for years. The message of present truth is to be proclaimed everywhere.—Manuscript 61, September 17, 1909, “Words of Instruction.”
