Commented by Cindy Tutsch:
"Ellen White's empowerment of youth for evangelism and service in this chapter thrills my soul! I have been in youth ministry for all of my career, serving in various capacities such as conference youth director, developing strategies and resources to help youth understand the value of Ellen White's messages, directing student literature evangelism programs, teaching religion classes and serivng as youth pastor. In these ministries, I have discovered that many times our youth are overentertained and underchallenged. This chapter helps us understand the sacred responsibilities God would have us give to youth today. However, to succeed in spiritual leadership, our youth need careful training, mentoring, and discipling. We must provide opportunities for youth to serve, invite them individually to accept leadership challenges, affirm them in their abilities, and then carefully, patiently teach them how to carry out responsibilties. This calls for time, effort, patience, tenacity, and love on the part of parents, teachers, and church leaders. Youth and young adults today are distracted by a world headed for perdition and a devil eager to offer them glittering temptations. It is imperative that we show a much greater interest in the youth of our churches than we have in the past. The Lord will grant us the strength, compassion, and skill to work with the youth in response to our earnest prayers of faith." Cindy Tutsch

What's So Important About the Bible?

The Bible to some may just be a collection of writings over many years and thrown together. However, for Jesus followers, the Bible reveals the character of God,…Source: https://vimeo.com/671724600
Monday: According to the Order of Melchizedek
Read Genesis 14:18-20 and Hebrews 7:1-3. Who was Melchizedek, and how did he prefigure Jesus?
Melchizedek was both a king and priest. He was also superior to Abraham, since Abraham paid him tithe. Likewise, Jesus is king and priest (Hebrews 1:3); unlike Melchizedek, however, Jesus was sinless (Hebrews 7:26-28).

Hebrews 7:15 explains that Jesus was priest “in the likeness of Melchizedek” (NKJV). This is what the earlier expression in Hebrews, “according to the order of Melchizedek” (Hebrews 5:6, NKJV), means. Jesus was not a successor of Melchizedek, but His priesthood was similar to his.
For instance, Paul says that Melchizedek was without father, mother, genealogy, birth, and death. Some have suggested that Melchizedek was an incarnation of Jesus in the time of Abraham. But this thought does not fit the argument of Hebrews. Melchizedek “resembles” Jesus (see ESV), which implies that He was different from Jesus (Hebrews 7:3).
It has also been suggested that Melchizedek was a heavenly being, but this would destroy the argument of Hebrews. If Melchizedek were without father, mother, beginning, or end, he would be God Himself. This poses a problem. Melchizedek’s heavenly, fully divine priesthood would have preceded the ministry of Jesus. If this were the case, as Hebrews says, “what further need would there have been for another priest to arise” (Hebrews 7:11, ESV)?
Instead, Hebrews uses the silence of Scripture regarding Melchizedek’s birth, death, and genealogy to build a typology, symbol, for Jesus’ priestly ministry (Genesis 14:18-20) and reveals that Jesus Himself was eternal. In short, Melchizedek was a Canaanite king-priest who served as a type of Christ.
“It was Christ that spoke through Melchizedek, the priest of the most high God. Melchizedek was not Christ, but he was the voice of God in the world, the representative of the Father. And all through the generations of the past, Christ has spoken; Christ has led His people, and has been the light of the world.” — Ellen G. White, Selected Messages, book 1, p. 409.
| What does the revelation about Melchizedek teach us about how God works among those who have never had human missionaries preach to them? |
Amen!

God of Choice or No Choice? | January 30, 2022
There are only 2 choices. 1) God is willing to give people the freedom of choice with the risk of them choosing wrong and the joy of them choosing right. 2) God will not give people the freedom of choice to ensure they never choose wrong and always choose right. Which would you prefer? Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4vWtQO1fvs
