Este próximo sábado es el Día del Espíritu de Profecía y la Herencia Adventista. Es un día especial para conmemorar cómo comenzó el Adventismo y cómo Dios ha estado dirigiendo a la iglesia. En una carta leída a los delegados en el Congreso de la Asociación General en 1893, Elena de White escribió estas conocidas palabras: " “Al recapacitar en nuestra historia pasada, habiendo recorrido cada paso de su progreso hasta nuestra situación actual, puedo decir: ¡Alabemos a Dios! Mientras contemplo lo que Dios ha hecho, me siento llena de asombro y confianza en Cristo como nuestro líder. No tenemos nada que temer por el futuro, excepto que olvidemos la manera en que el Señor nos ha conducido. “Somos ahora un pueblo fuerte, si queremos poner nuestra confianza en el Señor; porque estamos manejando las grandiosas verdades de la Palabra de Dios. Tenemos todas las razones para estar {3MS 183.6} Es muy bueno recordar cómo el Señor nos ha guiado en el pasado y cómo nos ha enseñado Sus poderosas verdades que se encuentran en la Biblia. Por esta razón conmemoramos nuestra herencia adventista y el don del Espíritu Profecía. En Apocalipsis 12:17 leemos: " Entonces el dragón se llenó de ira contra la mujer; y se fue a hacer guerra contra el resto de la descendencia de ella, los que guardan los mandamientos de Dios y tienen el testimonio de Jesucristo. " Pero, ¿qué es el testimonio de Jesús? En Apocalipsis 19:10 se nos dice claramente que "el testimonio de Jesús es el espíritu de la profecía." ¡Qué don tan importante y oportuno! Sin embargo, Elena de White nos advierte que "El último engaño de Satanás consistirá en convertir el testimonio del Espíritu de Dios en algo ineficaz… Satanás trabajará ingeniosamente, con métodos distintos e instrumentos diferentes, para desarraigar la confianza del pueblo remanente de Dios en el testimonio verdadero. Introducirá visiones engañosas para descarriar, mezclará lo falso con lo verdadero, y con esto fastidiará de tal modo a la gente que ésta tildará de fanático todo aquello que tenga que ver con las visiones; pero las almas sinceras, al establecer un contraste entre lo falso y lo verdadero, estarán capacitadas para distinguir entre estos términos. {2MS 89.1}
Sabemos, por supuesto, que el Espíritu de Profecía no es la Biblia, ni es igual a la Biblia. Como indica Elena de White, el Espíritu de Profecía nos guiará a la Biblia y está inspirado por la misma inspiración celestial que la Biblia.
El Primer Tomo de Mensajes Selectos, página 46. Nos dice que "Mediante Su Espíritu Santo, la voz de Dios nos ha venido continuamente en forma de amonestación e instrucción, para confirmar la fe de los creyentes en el espíritu de profecía. El mensaje ha venido repetidas veces: Escribe las cosas que te he dado para confirmar la fe de mi pueblo en la posición que ha tomado. El tiempo y las pruebas no han anulado la instrucción dada, sino que han establecido la verdad del testimonio dado mediante los años de sufrimiento y abnegación. La instrucción que fue dada en los primeros días del mensaje ha de ser retenida como instrucción segura de seguir en estos días finales. {1MS 46.1}."
El testimonio de Jesús es parte del movimiento adventista. Es un regalo de Dios, centrado en Cristo y todo lo que representa: Salvación, gracia y ministerio en el santuario celestial. A medida que nos acercamos al final de los tiempos, debemos permanecer cerca de Dios mediante el estudio de Su Palabra y siguiendo Sus consejos en el Espíritu de Profecía. Este testimonio sirve como la luz menor que conduce a la luz mayor de la Palabra de Dios. Que Dios te bendiga a medida que descubres el maravilloso regalo que te ha dado a través del Espíritu de Profecía. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNRPKQbeqv4

This coming Sabbath is Spirit of Prophecy/Adventist Heritage Day. It is a special day to commemorate how Adventism began and how God has been leading the church. In The General Conference Bulletin, 1893, p. 24, Ellen White wrote: "In reviewing our past history, having traveled over every step of advance to our present standing, I can say, 'Praise God!' As I see what God has wrought, I am filled with astonishment and with confidence in Christ as Leader. We have nothing to fear for the future, except as we shall forget the way the Lord has led us and His teaching in our past history. We are now a strong people if we will put our trust in the Lord, for we are handling the mighty truths of the word of God. We have everything to be thankful for." Indeed, it is good to remember how God has led us in the past and how He has taught us His mighty truths in the Bible. For this reason, we commemorate the Adventist heritage and value the gift of the Spirit of Prophecy. In Revelation 12:17, we read: "And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." Now, what is the testimony of Jesus? Revelation 19:10 says it is "the spirit of prophecy." What a timely and important gift! Yet, Ellen White warns us in Selected Messages Book 2, p. 78: "The very last deception of Satan will be to make of none effect the testimony of the Spirit of God…Satan will work ingeniously, in different ways and through different agencies, to unsettle the confidence of God's remnant people in the true testimony. He will bring in spurious visions to mislead and will mingle the false with the true, and so disgust people that they will regard everything that bears the name of visions as a species of fanaticism; but honest souls, by contrasting false and true, will be enabled to distinguish between them…" Meanwhile, the Spirit of Prophecy is not the Bible, nor is it equal to it. But, as White says, it leads us to the Bible. And it is inspired by the testimony of Jesus. According to the Selected Messages Book 1, p. 41, "Through His Holy Spirit, the voice of God has come to us continually in warning and instruction, to confirm the faith of the believers in the Spirit of prophecy. Repeatedly the word has come, 'Write the things that I have given you to confirm the faith of My people in the position they have taken.' Time and trial have not made void the instruction given, but through years of suffering and self-sacrifice have established the truth of the testimony given. The instruction that was given in the early days of the message is to be held as safe instruction to follow in these closing days." Now, the testimony of Jesus is part of the Advent movement. It is a gift from God, centered in Christ and all that represents – salvation, grace, and ministry in the heavenly sanctuary. As we near the end of time, we need to stay close to God by studying His Word and following His counsels in the Spirit of Prophecy. This testimony serves as the lesser light that leads to the greater light of God's Word. With this, may God bless you as you discover the wonderful gift He has given you through the Spirit of Prophecy. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW2Ng547Vmk

There's often a lot of emphases put on marriage and families in Christian communities. Marriage and family are both good gifts from God. We need to keep in mind that the way the people in the Bible worked towards and approached marriage isn't necessarily the way that we should today. This video gives some perspective on this topic.

When you hear about prophecy, Daniel and Revelation– what do you think about? Does it scare you? Does it give you hope for the future? What relevance does it have on your life today? This week, Sam and Jennifer sit down with Clinton Wahlen, associate director for the Biblical Research Institute, about why we should still read and study prophecy today and how it can bring us closer to Jesus. —

David is an unlikely character to be a worshiper. He was a warrior. He was fierce, but he has written more Psalms than anybody else. God sent the Prophet Samuel to Bethlehem and led him to David, a humble shepherd, and talented musician. God looked at David’s heart and saw the reflection of His own. David had this incredible sense of God’s presence. He knew God was in control and that the name of God is to be worshipped and revered. David loved to worship. He was a man after God’s own heart. But are we like David? His life reminds us there can be only one God who we ought to worship. It demonstrates the values of courage and loyalty to what you believe in, whatever the odds. You may already know who David is. But in this video, we will be reflecting more about everything we can learn from David. Join us as Pastor Sam Neves helps us understand the importance of true worship, just like David did. To follow our official social media accounts, just follow the links below:
