Sabbath School Lesson: From a Furnace to a Palace
“ ‘If you throw us into the hot furnace [oven], the God we serve can save us. And if he wants to, he can save us from your power’ ” (Daniel 3:17, ERV). “With these words, [Daniel 3:17], Daniel’s three friends show their faith to the whole kingdom of Babylon. These three young men show that the God they worship is the only true and living God. Their strong stand for God shows their beliefs. These three young men show their love for God. They show their obedience. They show they are willing to die for God. Their faith is a living example. It is the only way to show the Babylonian people the power of the living God. Daniel’s three friends show that God is the only One who is worthy of honor and worship. These three young men show the Babylonians that nothing can cause them to bow down and worship the statue. This story has many precious lessons for us in the last days.”—Ellen G. White, In Heavenly Places, page 149, adapted. At the end of time, we, too, will need to take a stand for our faith. The Bible shows us that Christians everywhere will have the same test of worship. Our lives will be in danger the same as Daniel’s three friends were. So, we need to study Daniel 3. It shows us the experience we will have in the end times. Sabbath School Lesson 4: https://bit.ly/3daswJt Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK3cziSY1Tc

Adventist Today Sabbath Seminar – May 2 Articles
29 April 2020 | Richard Coffen has written two pieces recently about odd and perplexing Bible texts. These texts are mostly peculiar to us because they don’t fit our Adventist view of what the Bible says, which means when we encounter one of these texts we either ignore it or make some excuse for it.

A corona cultural shock
With the Coronavirus pandemic, we’ve lost a sense of control and, perhaps, misplaced a sense of belonging. This culture shock can take a physical, emotional and spiritual toll. Source: https://wp.avondale.edu.au/news/2020/04/30/a-corona-cultural-shock/
