Don’t Look Back
From mighty generals on the battlefield to Jesus leading His disciples, one message rings in our ears: Don’t Look Back!
The Apostle Paul embraced this message as the “one thing” that kept him on track: “One thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:13-14).
Look how often this mantra becomes the guiding message to decisive victory: Don’t Look Back! ===

Una valoración puntual sobre el juicio investigador
Obtuve mi licenciatura en teología en la última mitad de los años 70. En esa época estaban ocurriendo muchas cosas confusas en el mundo adventista, especialmente en torno a la doctrina del juicio investigador. Las reputaciones se tambaleaban. Las carreras estaban en juego. Agaché la cabeza y me mantuve al margen. Cuando obtuve mi […] Source: https://atoday.org/una-valoracion-puntual-sobre-el-juicio-investigador/
Inside Story: Sharing Living Water
Sharing Living Water
By David Maldonado
Antonio Maldonado didn’t know much English, so he motioned to an interpreter at the reception at the U.S. White House in Washington.
Antonio, a member of a mining delegation visiting from Peru, saw that the guests were being served fine whiskey, but he simply wanted a glass of pure water to raise for the toast with President Lyndon B. Johnson. Speaking through the interpreter, he politely voiced his desire to a waiter.
It was a difficult request to make. Everyone seemed to be holding glasses of whiskey, and Antonio didn’t want to make a scene. He didn’t want to embarrass fellow delegates as they wrapped up trade U.S. talks. But as a young man, he had made a commitment never to drink after seeing the ruin that alcohol brought to homes in Peru. Two years earlier, in 1963, he had given his heart to Jesus after hearing Voice of Prophecy radio broadcasts.
While Antonio spoke softly with the White House waiter, a pair of eyes watched him. Those eyes followed the waiter as he brought Antonio a glass of water. As Antonio accepted the water, he heard a voice speak.
“Waiter, wait,” the voice said. “What did the gentleman ask of you?”
“This guest wanted us to change his whiskey glass for one with pure water, Mr. President,” the waiter replied.
Lyndon Johnson extended an arm and handed his own glass of whiskey to the waiter. “Please bring me a glass of water as well,” he said.
After the toast, the president approached Antonio and, almost whispering, asked, “Why don’t you drink like the others?” With the interpreter’s help, Antonio replied with a large smile. “When I was young, I promised myself that I would never drink, and many years later I renewed that promise with God,” he said. “So far, everything has worked well.”
The president extended a hand. “Congratulations for being such a magnificent example,” he said. “I, too, am a man of faith. God bless you.” A firm handshake ended the conversation.
As Antonio mingled at the reception, he felt curious stares. His habit of abstaining from alcohol, strengthened by his faith, had resulted in an unexpected encounter with one of the most powerful people on earth. His heart rejoiced that he had been able to represent God at the White House.
Today, Antonio seeks to represent God every day in Concepción, Peru, where he lives with his wife, Enma. He is ninety-nine and she is ninety — a living witness to their conviction that “whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31, NKJV).
