In this video, Pastor Ted #Wilson would like to share the story of Ellen White with you. Who was Ellen White? In brief, she was a woman of remarkable #spiritual gifts who lived most of her life during the nineteenth century, yet through her writings she is still making a revolutionary impact on millions of people around the world. During her lifetime she wrote more than 5,000 periodical articles and 40 books; but today, including compilations from her 50,000 pages of manuscript, more than 100 titles are available in English, and many others in multiple languages. In fact, she is the most translated woman writer in the entire history of literature and the most translated American author of either gender. Her writings cover a broad range of subjects, including religion, education, social relationships, evangelism, prophecy, publishing, nutrition, and management. Her life-changing masterpiece on successful #Christian living, Steps to Christ, has been published in more than 140 languages. Seventh-day #Adventists believe that Mrs. White was more than a gifted writer; we believe she was appointed by #God as a special messenger to draw the world's attention to the Holy Scriptures and help prepare people for Christ's second advent. From the time she was 17 years old until she died 70 years later, God gave her approximately 2,000 #visions and dreams. The visions varied in length from less than a minute to nearly four hours. The knowledge and counsel received through these revelations she wrote out to be shared with others. Thus, her special writings are accepted by Seventh-day Adventists as inspired, and their exceptional quality is recognized even by casual readers. However, as stated in the book, Seventh-day Adventists Believe . . . , “The writings of Ellen White are not a substitute for Scripture. They cannot be placed on the same level. The Holy Scriptures stand alone, the unique standard by which her and all other writings must be judged and to which they must be subject” (p. 227). Ellen G. White was truly a remarkable woman who, meeting all the tests of a true #prophet as set forth in the Holy Scriptures, helped found the Seventh-day Adventist #church. And through the counsels given through this special messenger, God has blessed us immensely. Embrace this incredible blessing that God has gifted to His Church. I have found the more I read the Spirit of Prophecy, the most blessed I am. And today, all of her writings are available, not only in hard copy but online. Just go to egwwritings.org, choose your language, and start reading today. I am sure you will be blessed! Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gbVGQFhSlI

We’ve all got problems. Some are more deeply rooted than others. And sometimes the solutions to our problems aren’t always what we expect them to be. This was especially true for Nicodemus and the Pharisees. When Jesus Christ came before the masses, He presented Himself as the Son of God and fulfillment of prophecy. But to the people of Israel, Jesus seemed an unlikely answer to their problems. The problem Israel faced back then is the same problem we face today: sin. And as it was back then, Jesus is still the answer to that problem. But how many of us are always looking elsewhere for solutions? How many expect to find answers in the innovations of man? Jesus reminds us to look to Him in times of despair and confusion. Watch Episode 11 of Unlocking Bible Prophecies: Digging Deeper to see how Christ resolves humanity’s sin dilemma. MEET THE HOST:

Theology is not only for pastors, ministers, priests, or leaders of the church. It is actually for all as it affects everyone. What is theology?
The word originates from two Greek words: 'theos' or God, and 'logos' meaning 'words of.' In short, it means words about God or the study of God. Years back, it used to be "the queen of all sciences." Why? People believed that it is the first pursuit of knowledge, a foundation for all views, beliefs, and decisions. Without theology, people would have no direction about who our Lord is and what He does. They then don't care, waste their lives, and lose their souls. Bible Study reveals God
Christians believe that the Bible reveals the Lord. It is His Word, and He gave it for our study and understanding of Who He is. It is not uncommon, though, that specific Bible topics became challenges and controversies. Christian history tells of many struggles and discussions our forefathers had. These trials and sacrifices were not in vain; we now have a clearer understanding of the Scriptures. Through theology and history, we can see real people and a real loving God, Who guides His people. Can the history of Adventist theology be exciting?
Is there something there that will be of interest to the church members? Is there something there that would draw young people? Learn about the exciting process of historical approach and how it gives a richer understanding. Let's hear from the experts. Dr. David Trim and Dr. Dragoslava Santrac, ESDA editors, host yet another exciting discussion. With them are the editors of the latest online encyclopedia for the history of theology and ethics section – Dr. Frank Hasel and Dr. Denis Kaiser. Next on deck…
