Did you know that God gives us special gifts and talents so we can live fully for Him? In this video, learn about spiritual gifts and their purpose. Do you play basketball? Do you often take the role of defense and consider yourself better at it than shooting? If so, you probably can’t relate much when your teammates brag about the points they make from good shots. As such, when you make a lot of points, the team loses. But when you get less points, it is the game where you enjoy doing what you’re supposed to do. In connection, God has given us spiritual gifts. They differ from person to person because they play different roles in the body of Christ. With this, there is no point in comparing ourselves with others because we are all co-laborers for His mission. That goal is more important than our roles.

People everywhere seem to have a moral compass. A basic law of nature, a knowledge of right and wrong. This knowledge comes from God. He summed up the laws of living in the 10 Commandments. They are an excellent guide to making the most of life. Blog: https://www.ibelievebible.com/laugh-at-god/ ___

“The fossil forests of Yellowstone are a series of petrified trees and levels, one above another. And if they are interpreted as in the position of growth, that naturally represents a lot of time.”—Dr. Harold Coffin Dr. Harold Coffin was a Seventh-day Adventist scientist who worked at the Geoscience Research Institute. Coffin studied the famous “fossil forests” of Yellowstone National Park. He also studied the multi-layered “fossil forests” in Nova Scotia, Canada. His Christian biblical worldview caused him to ask scientific questions about the petrified trees that others who had gone before him had not asked. Does science agree with the Bible? Tune in as our host, Timothy G. Standish, Ph.D., shows us more about petrified trees and fossil forests. The Geoscience Research Institute was established by the Seventh-day Adventist Church to explore the natural world, seeking understandings of nature consistent with the biblical record.

This week on ANN As Mozambique mourns hundreds of recent deaths from COVID-19, the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA), is helping 1,000 of the country's most vulnerable families protect themselves against the virus and maintain their livelihoods despite pandemic disruptions. According to the World Health Organization, Mozambique has experienced its worst spike in coronavirus cases and deaths this summer. To respond to the crisis, ADRA will distribute hygiene kits containing masks, hand sanitizers, and liquid soap to vulnerable families and individuals in the southern part of the country. The Health and Wellness Department of Koiari Park English Church on the Pacific Adventist University campus has been actively driving the health message to its church membership and the surrounding community. A recent week of health emphasis featured lectures presented by Adventist medical doctor Robert Jones and several other wellness activities such as medical checks for vendors and customers at the famous PAU Sunday Market. The team of around sixty people, formed by nurses, health counselors, a medical doctor, and other volunteers, spent an entire day at the village, where people had their blood sugar levels and blood pressure tested for possible signs of hypertension and diabetes. In the Wenang District of Manado, Indonesia, the Seventh-day Adventist Church is starting a new "Drop and Grab initiative." Adventist church in Wenang is located near a public transportation hub where people come and go. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused people in the community to lose their jobs and the ability to have a decent meal every day. Wenang church members aim to minister to this community by providing free lunch packs every Friday. Members visit the church to "drop" food items they want to share, and the church makes these food items available for "grabs" to the public. On the island of Anguilla, Seventh-day Adventist leaders and church members took part in a recent groundbreaking ceremony that will see a larger, more modern, and inclusive worship center. This new building will replace the oldest church structure on the island. The Long Bay church was destroyed by Hurricane Irma in September 2017, scattering dozens of members to worship in different, smaller locations. Members are eager to move into the construction phase of the new facility, says Lester Jules, pastor of the 77-member Long Bay congregation. With pledges, church members expect the church building to be completed by 2025.
