by Melody Tan | 16 April 2025 | I heard the story of a Rwandan pastor who survived his country’s genocide back in 1994. He and some of his church members were having a small group meeting at home when they were rounded up by the Hutus. Forced on their knees in the front yard, […] Source: https://atoday.org/when-the-door-shuts-and-the-window-doesnt-open/

What if we treated our worship like our favorite sporting event, concert, or holiday? If you were to think of your worship adjective, what word would sum up your excitement, dedication, or experience? A young girl may call her night at the pop concert "unbelievable," but is bored at Bible study. The family may be "prepared" for the big game, but unprepared for Sabbath service. What is your word for worship? Are you excited, stressed, frustrated, bored, even lonely? Let's talk about our worship experience and encourage one another.

16 April 2025 | Less than 100 days since the inauguration, Donald Trump’s second term is already chaotic and controversial. Why is the promised Christian America imprisoning undocumented immigrants out-of-country and cutting funding for health research at home and aid to refugees abroad? And why have evangelicals largely encouraged these policies? What Christian values do […] Source: https://atoday.org/atss-laura-ochs-wibberding-christian-nationalism-in-a-global-perspective/
Daily Lesson for Thursday 17th of April 2025
Infidelity comes with a very painful price tag. The fallout spills over into the lives of children and others. Even the most patient of wronged spouses may eventually discover that there is a moment of no return, past which the marriage can no longer be redeemed.

When our world reaches a point where hearts have hardened deeply enough that there will be no more repentance, no point exists in continuing history and allowing the unbridled suffering of sin to continue. Even though there is heartbreak over the lost, those who have suffered under this world’s dispensation of sin can celebrate that it is finally over—and that the world is being restored to the way God originally designed it. This time there will not be a turning away from God, because we have learned, the hard way, that God was correct about the devastation that comes from separating ourselves from Him.
“Marriage, a union for life, is a symbol of the union between Christ and His church. The spirit that Christ manifests toward the church is the spirit that husband and wife are to manifest toward each other.”—Ellen G. White, Testimonies for the Church, vol. 7, p. 46.
Christ suffered unimaginable pain as the human race rejected Him and gave the affection that belongs to Him to other gods. And yet, even then, He gave Himself for us, paying in Himself for our infidelities and adulteries so that, if we repent and turn away from them, we have the promise of eternal life.

by Christopher C. Thompson | 15 April 2025 | The recent participation of prominent Seventh-day Adventist figures at the Wisdom Pearl event, where they shared a stage with political commentator Charlie Kirk, marks a disheartening and dangerous moment for the Adventist Church in America.

Do you believe Jesus will return soon? Three times in the last chapter of Revelation, John emphasizes that Jesus will come back "quickly!" This means that our salvation is getting closer, and the evilness on earth will be put to an end. This is not the time to give up the light we have received and the faith we have in Jesus since He has promised that He will come back to take us home. Listen in as William J. Lee Sr. encourages us in his message titled "Jesus is Coming Because He Said So!" to share Jesus in order to receive the reward that He has prepared for His children. The Seventh-day Adventist Church has been an established denomination since 1863. It is a global Christian family with over 21 million members who hold the Bible as the ultimate authority. We are believers who promise to help people understand the Bible and find freedom, healing, and hope in Jesus. Want to learn more about the Seventh-day Adventist Church?
