by Ron Preast | 6 October 2023 | October has been named by someone as Pastor Appreciation Month. It isn’t that people shouldn’t always appreciate their pastor, but this is the month when they’re encouraged to say it. Usually congregations will usually take a few minutes during one of the church services for that. Since the month […] Source: https://atoday.org/advice-for-pastor-appreciation-day/

Daily Lesson for Saturday 7th of October 2023
Read for This Week’s Study
John 20:21-22; Matthew 28:16-20; Revelation 14:6-7; Deuteronomy 7:6,11-12; Revelation 7:9-10.
Memory Text:
“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19, NKJV).
The theme, that of God as a God of mission, runs throughout Scripture. It is the connecting thread of human history, and it demonstrates God’s purpose for His creation. Furthermore, it consolidates divine revelation with a main focus: the restoration of God’s image in His fallen children (compare with Colossians 3:9-10; 1 John 3:2).
The mission of God also functions as the background through which we should see and understand God’s Word to us. When we read the Bible, we can identify a God who is intentionally reaching out to us. In spite of the separation caused by sin (Isaiah 59:2), through His mission God continues to restore the broken relationship with humanity until the glorious moment when He will “make all things new” (Revelation 21:5, NKJV).
In the meanwhile, God has chosen to manifest Himself to us in such a way that we can understand His nature and purpose, and above all, we can have a real and lasting relationship with Him. In other words, we not only come to know Him but also share, with others, our experience with Him and His saving love.
In the Scriptures, then, God gives us the basic elements of what His mission is all about.
*Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, October 14.

Лорен Сейболд | 11 июля 2020 | Ещё в апреле, когда я опубликовал статью о завершении времени благодати, мне написал один очень обеспокоенный пастор. Он, используя, как я считаю, излишне вульгарную метафору, сравнил мою статью с чем-то очень отвратительным, что я совершил посреди адвентистской гостиной. Я предпочитаю думать, что я был назван слоном в гостиной, […] Source: https://atoday.org/%d0%be%d1%81%d0%ba%d0%be%d1%80%d0%b1%d0%b8%d1%82%d0%b5%d0%bb%d1%8c%d0%bd%d0%b0%d1%8f-%d1%8d%d1%81%d1%85%d0%b0%d1%82%d0%be%d0%bb%d0%be%d0%b3%d0%b8%d1%8f/
I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
