Larry R. Evans is an Assistant to the President of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, and the head of Adventist Possibility Ministries. He has a strong affinity to the northwest, where the family lived on a farm in a place called Moses Lake, Washington, before moving to South Dakota, where his grandfather owned a farm. This upbringing on farmland sparked much of what Larry reflects as the formation of his values today. It was the time spent on the farms when Larry learned the value of a strong work ethic. Larry experienced what some may call a “mixed” spiritual upbringing. His mother was an Adventist, the “spiritual glue” of the family, as he recalls. His father was not a Christian and did not see the value in Christian education to the extent his mother did. His grandfather, however, came into the church originally through a colporteur, and made it possible for Larry to later attend Adventist academies and college after having attended public schooling prior. Larry reflects that those years were the years that challenged and changed him. As a teenager he began to realize he had a growing spiritual hunger. It was a time of change. At the same time, while his admittedly mischievous behaviors became more prominent, he was also becoming aware that something inside was saying it wasn’t what he really wanted.

Tomorrow, July 24, is Children’s Sabbath with the theme “Called to be Different: Where Kids are Called to Follow Jesus.” With this, we highlight our children in the church. We encourage them to develop a strong relationship with God and share their faith with others. In this video, Pastor Ted Wilson shares the story of Daniel and his friends in the Bible. The question is asked: How can children like you be faithful and different like these four young men? Daniel and her three friends were living with their parents in Jerusalem when the Babylonians attacked the city. The army captured these teenage boys, among many others, bringing them to Babylon. In the royal court, they were trained to live like the Babylonians and serve their new country. It involved changing the food they ate and the God they worshipped. They even had new names. Specifically, Belteshazzar was given to Daniel, Shadrach to Hananiah, Meshach to Mishael, and Abednego to Azariah. As one of their special privileges, they were given food right from the king’s table. Imagine how fancy it looked and delicious each bite tasted! Unfortunately, that food was being sacrificed for idols. Hence, eating it would mean worshipping them. Besides, it was not what God wanted them to eat. Nevertheless, Daniel stood firm in his principles and faith. Without fear, he “made up his mind not to eat the food and wine given to them by the king” (Daniel 1:8). His three friends agreed with him. So, they asked for the king’s permission to eat simple vegetarian food and drink water. The king granted their request, giving them ten days of testing. Surprisingly, at the end of the probation, Daniel and his friends looked healthier and more robust than the rest of the servants. From then on, the king allowed them to go on with their healthy diet. For this, God blessed them more. According to Daniel 1:17, He “gave them knowledge and skill in all literature and wisdom, and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.” Now, we know it’s not easy to be different from other people. But if you love God like Daniel and his friends did, you would be inclined to do what is right. By this, you could stand out from the rest and become faithful even in the simplest things. Therefore, dear kid, young as you are, be like Daniel and his friends. Love God with all your heart. Always be faithful to Him because He has big plans for you in the future.

What does the Bible mean when it talks about people being lost? What does the Bible mean when it talks about people being lost? here’s a story in the Bible of a son who ungratefully leaves his father and loses his way. His father welcomes him back when he chooses to return to him. In the same way, we have all been lost, but because of what Jesus did for us, we can come back to God.
