Pastor Ted Wilson would always talk about the three angels' messages in his weekly videos. Why not? For a world in crisis, words of hope and love are urgently needed. In fact, Ellen White has a reminder about this in her book, Testimonies for the Church, vol. 9, p. 19. She says, "In a special sense, Seventh-day Adventists have been set in the world as watchmen and light-bearers. To them has been entrusted the last warning for a perishing world. On them is shining wonderful light from the word of God. They have been given a work of the most solemn import—the proclamation of the first, second, and third angels' messages. There is no other work of so great importance. They are to allow nothing else to absorb their attention. The most solemn truths ever entrusted to mortals have been given us to proclaim to the world. The proclamation of these truths is to be our work." True enough, the three angels' messages have been part of our preaching for a long time. Yet, how much do we know about them? Can we explain them to other people? To help us with this, in this episode, Pastor Ted and his wife, Nancy, talk about the importance of prayer and fasting in witnessing. Prayer helps us understand Bible truth better, grow in faith amid life's difficulties, and obtain power from the Holy Spirit to become effective witnesses. But why does it include fasting? We fast because we are in earnest for God's blessing. It's not an option. Instead, it's a given response to our love for Him. With this, we are advised by the Counsels on Diet and Foods, pp. 188, 189: "Now and onward till the close of time the people of God should be more earnest, more wide-awake, not trusting in their own wisdom, but in the wisdom of their Leader. They should set aside days for fasting and prayer. Entire abstinence from food may not be required, but they should eat sparingly of the most simple food." Meanwhile, it's important to remember that fasting is more than just skipping meals. It's more on choosing to sacrifice something to pray more intentionally with heart and soul. But it's not about earning a heavenly reward. Instead, the goal is to remove distractions so we can seek Jesus wholeheartedly. With this, Pastor Ted invites you to be part of this special day of prayer and fasting. As Matthew 18:19-20 says, "Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them." Now is the time to share God's final messages of hope and salvation. There's no time to delay. Hence, don't miss the blessings God has in store for you as we come together in fasting and prayer. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2c_34S-INM

What should I do with my money? It's a hard question to answer. Perhaps this is such a hard question because it’s the wrong one to ask. All financial resources actually belong to God. Tithing is a system that reminds us of this and teaches us to be good stewards. Blog: https://www.ibelievebible.com/tithing/ ___

When and where were camels extensively used in the Middle East? This is an issue that some scholars are debating and the evidence tells us something about the Bible’s reliability. Many people believe that camels were widely used to transport goods, even during the time of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and other ancient Bible characters. Others disagree, claiming that the record of camels in Scripture is anachronistic, showing that the Bible was written long after it claims to have been written. How does archaeology inform our understanding of camels and history? The Sciences, including archaeology, can’t prove the Bible true or that God exists, particularly to someone determined not to believe. But, science can help us to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of different claims about the past. When we take an honest look at archaeological evidence, there are some clear answers to many questions raised in objection to what is written in the Bible. Dr. Randall Younker studies archeology seeking those answers. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czVtTN7F4NU

Joseph’s amazing story is about suffering, power, freedom, and forgiveness. It tells about how God had used and changed the circumstances to give lessons about suffering, freedom, and forgiveness. Suffering is inevitable. Everyone, in one way or another, experiences suffering. Now, God gives us the power to choose to forgive and to be free. As we review the story of Joseph in the book of Genesis, we will see that the path of freedom goes through forgiveness. It does not come from power and revenge but only through forgiveness. Forgiveness is divine, for it never seeks that the one who wronged us will pay for our suffering. We recognize that we need God’s forgiveness and that He will execute justice for us in the end.
