By Loren Seibold | 11 July 2020 | When I published an article about the close of probation back in April, a pastor wrote me, in high dudgeon. He described my writing that article—he used what I thought was an unnecessarily vulgar metaphor—as something gross that I had done in the Adventist living room.

Reading made easy
There were no schools in his village, Seeyah, in Liberia. As a boy, he worked on the family rice farm. When he grew older, he married and had nine children and still worked on the farm. He had no reason to read.
One day, a Seventh-day Adventist evangelist, Willie Helbig, arrived in the village. Joe was interested to learn from the Bible, and he and other villagers asked the evangelist to study with them. Willie agreed and, a month later, all 50 adults in Seeyah and a neighboring village, Dehyu,…

The Secret Rapture is NOT in the Bible: Jesus’ Second Coming Revealed
Do you like being left behind or in the dark on something? Many people talk about a rapture and how many people will just suddenly disappear from the earth. But does the Bible actually say this is how the second coming of Christ will happen? Jesus said to watch and be ready! But are we looking in the right direction? Does the Word of God say how Jesus will return? People are talking about Jesus coming again — but what does that mean? What about how the Bible says that every eye will see Him? How can that work with the idea of a secret rapture . . . unless we are mistaken and the Bible really says something else?! Join us for Episode 4 of Unlocking Bible Prophecies: Digging Deeper as Pastor Chris Holland digs deeper into the Bible and answers these very important questions.

A Simple Golden G
by Smuts van Rooyen | 11 July 2020 | A simpleton once asked a choreographer what her dance meant. She replied, if I could say it in words, I would not have said it with motion.
