Discover the unfolding of God's redemptive plan from Israel to the Christian Church—a journey marked by divine purpose and human frailty. Initially, God envisioned Israel as a beacon of light, drawing representatives from all nations to worship and learn of the true God. However, Israel faltered, succumbing to idolatry, nationalism, and pride and failing to fulfill its mission. Join us in embracing God's mission of salvation as we journey from Israel to the Christian Church, united in our commitment to proclaim the transformative power of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth.

‘The Great Controversy’ Comes to the Olympics
By Björn Karlman | 6 August 2024 | Paris is secular, even for a European capital. People are generally repulsed by or at the very least indifferent to, religion. It’s notoriously difficult to evangelize the city. But that doesn’t stop Christian groups (including Adventists) trying—especially with the 2024 Olympics in full swing. I was intrigued […] Source: https://atoday.org/the-great-controversy-comes-to-the-olympics/

How the Adventist Church and the State of Louisiana Get It Wrong
by Edward Reifsnyder | 6 August 2024 | The State of Louisiana and the Seventh-day Adventist Church have something in common. We both hype the Ten Commandments. This June, Louisiana’s legislature passed, and the governor signed, a bill requiring all Louisiana public schools to display the Ten Commandments in all classrooms, from kindergarten to state-sponsored […] Source: https://atoday.org/how-the-adventist-church-and-the-state-of-louisiana-got-it-all-wrong/
Wednesday: Tongue-tied
Daily Lesson for Wednesday 7th of August 2024
Read Mark 7:31-37. Who was brought to Jesus, and what did Jesus do for him?
Jesus did not take the shortest distance to return to Galilee from the region of Tyre and Sidon. It seems Jesus went north from the area of Tyre, up through the region of Sidon, then inland and down through the area northeast of the Sea of Galilee, finally arriving near the sea itself. It was a circuitous route, likely with additional time for Him to teach His disciples.

The text does not indicate exactly who brought the man to Jesus, but his problem was plain enough—he could not hear and had difficulty speaking. Loss of hearing isolates people from their surroundings, and profound deafness can make it challenging to learn how to speak. This man’s problem may have been longstanding.
Jesus understands the man’s predicament and takes him aside privately. The Lord’s manner of healing the man is curious, particularly for modern readers. He puts His fingers in the man’s ears, spits, touches his tongue and sighs. Jesus touches the affected parts of the man that He will heal, but why the sigh? “He sighed at thought of the ears that would not be open to the truth, the tongues that refused to acknowledge the Redeemer.”—Ellen G. White, The Desire of Ages, p. 404.
Jesus miraculously restored the man’s hearing and enabled him to speak clearly. His sigh illustrates the limits that God has placed upon Himself in regard to the free choice of humanity. He will not force the will. All humans are free to choose whom they will have lead their life—the Prince of Life or the prince of darkness. Jesus could open deaf ears but would not force unbelieving hearts to acknowledge His messiahship.
This brief story also illustrates what God can do for those who willingly turn to Him. Perhaps you have experienced reticence at sharing your faith, feeling tongue-tied regarding just what to say. This miracle offers encouragement that the Lord Jesus can open your ears to be sensitive to others’ needs and share a ready word to lift them on their journey.

What do you do with the gifts you have been given regarding hearing and speaking (for they are gifts)? How are you using them? |

Cosa ha imparato l’umanità da Hiroshima?
Nel corso della diretta RVS del 6 agosto 2024, Claudio Coppini ha intervistato Alessandro Martini, già direttore Caritas Toscana e per alcuni anni assessore alla cultura della memoria per il Comune di Firenze. Tra i temi affrontati: il ricordo della bomba atomica, sganciata 79 anni fa su Hiroshima e tre giorni dopo su Nagasaki che provocò duecentomila morti, quasi tutti civili. Da qui la riflessione sull’oggi e su come l’umanità non sia riuscita ad far tesoro di quella immensa tragedia. Anzi gli arsenali nucleari nel presente sono cresciuti a dismisura. La conversazione è proseguita sui temi delle ingiustizie sociali e civili che affliggono il mondo e dell’incapacità della politica mondiale di costruire risposte convincenti e relazioni pacifiche.
