Cuando la Iglesia Adventista financió un Ministerio para Ex-Gays
Durante mucho tiempo, los Adventistas del Séptimo Día asumieron que no tenían miembros homosexuales o lesbianas, pese a que existían antecedentes de pastores homosexuales, algunos con altos cargos, que habían sido descubiertos y despedidos, y de miembros homosexuales desglosados. Sin embargo, cuando el Movimiento de Liberación Gay comenzó en Nueva York en 1969 y […] Source: https://atoday.org/cuando-la-iglesia-adventista-financio-un-ministerio-para-ex-gays/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=cuando-la-iglesia-adventista-financio-un-ministerio-para-ex-gays

Sabbath: God’s Covenants With Us

Sabbath Afternoon
Read for This Week’s Study: Matthew 10:22, John 6:29, Deuteronomy 28:1-14, Proverbs 3:1-10, Malachi 3:7-11, Matthew 6:25-33.
Memory Text: “Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the LORD your God” (Deuteronomy 28:1-2, , NKJV).
Amazingly enough, God has made contracts (or covenants) with us. Most are bilateral, which means that both parties (God and humans) have a part to perform. An example of a bilateral covenant is “If you will do this, then I will do that.” Or “I will do this if you will do that.”
A rarer type of covenant is unilateral. “I will do this whether you do anything or not.” A few of God’s covenants with humanity are unilateral. For example,
“He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust” (Matthew 5:45, NKJV). Whatever we do or don’t do, we can count on God for sunshine and rain. Following the Flood, God promised humanity and “every beast of the earth” that there would never be another flood to cover all the earth (see Genesis 9:9-16), regardless of our actions. He also promised: “While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease” (Genesis 8:22, NKJV). The seasons will come and go, regardless of what we do.
This week we will study some very significant bilateral covenants between God and His children. Let’s pray that, by the grace of God, we shall “uphold our end of the bargain.”
Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, January 14.
Amen!(0)
