17 May 2019 | Dear Aunt Sevvy, Is there ever an appropriate time to express an opinion or talk to your spouse about their appearance? I’m not talking about modesty, but what if your spouse is letting their health or appearance go? Can you say, “This would look better,” or “I wish you would try […] Source: https://atoday.org/can-i-tell-my-spouse-he-she-isnt-looking-too-good/
Mission Churches and Church-Sect Theory: Seventh-day Adventists in Africa
by Ronald Lawson | 17 May 2019 | Introduction Seventh-day Adventism was born in America. Its forerunner, Baptist lay preacher William Miller, had gathered a considerable following as a result of his preaching throughout New England and upstate New York that Christ would return on October 22, 1844. Although Miller had stated that it was […] Source: https://atoday.org/mission-churches-and-church-sect-theory-seventh-day-adventists-in-africa/

Seventh-day Adventist Church responds to Equality Act
On Friday, May 17, 2019, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Equality Act (H.R. 5). The bill, if it were to become law, would extend protection to gay, lesbian, and transgender individuals across a broad spectrum of U.S. civil rights laws. This would include employment, housing, public accommodation, and social services.
The Seventh-day Adventist Church is concerned that this legislation would further erode the religious liberty of faith communities and their members. This bill makes…

Sabbath: Season of Parenting
Image © Pacific Press
Read for This Week’s Study: Gen. 18:11; Jer. 31:25; Matt. 11:28; Psalm 127:1-5; Prov. 22:6; 1 Sam. 3:10-14; Phil. 3:13.
Memory Text: “Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb is a reward” (Psalm 127:3, NKJV).
Births are such a common, normal occurrence that often we don’t always fully appreciate the wonder that they are. Imagine what Eve must have felt holding baby Cain in her arms. The changes she experienced in her growing body during those months, the excruciating pain of childbirth, and then seeing this small child, so much like them, yet so defenseless. What an experience it must have been for Sarah, in her 90s and way past childbearing age, to contemplate upon the face of her own son, Isaac; she must have laughed every time she pronounced his name. After praying for a son for who knows how long, Hannah held Samuel and said, “For this child I prayed, and the LORD has granted me my petition which I asked of Him” (1 Sam. 1:27, NKJV). The wonder in Mary’s heart, still a young girl, cuddling her son, God’s Son, with a combination of amazement and fear.
At the same time, not everyone has the privilege, and responsibility, that comes with parenting. This week we will spend time exploring the season of parenting with its challenges, fears, satisfaction, and joy.
Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, May 25.
Amen!

A Feminist Perspective on Chivalry
by Elle Berry | 16 May 2019 | I’m not sure if you have heard—but chivalry is dead. Or at least this is an often-voiced concern I hear from certain quadrants of the populace, perhaps as a distressed pushback to the alleged feminist agenda. So far as I understand the matter, there is a mounting […] Source: https://atoday.org/a-feminist-perspective-on-chivalry/
