” ¡Sabe a cartón!”, le dije a mi amigo -que también se llama Jim- mientras caminábamos entre la multitud, con hamburguesas vegetarianas en la mano. Jim asintió y se echó a reír. Nos dirigimos a una enorme carpa de lona donde un predicador se dedicaba de lleno a exhortar, secándose la frente sudorosa con un […] Source: https://atoday.org/invitacion-al-cristianismo-progresista/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=invitacion-al-cristianismo-progresista

As youth matures into adulthood, thoughts will arise about having to provide for basic needs-food, clothing, and shelter. Jesus Himself has told us how to prioritize our needs when He said, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” (Matthew 6:33). Of course, for those who are older and who didn’t make the choice for Jesus when they were young, there is still time to make the right decisions regarding stewardship.

As we saw in Genesis 28:20-22, Jacob had made some important life choices, both spiritual and financial. In the vision, the Lord introduced Himself to Jacob as “The LORD God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac” (Genesis 28:13, NKJV). Then as part of his vow to God, Jacob said, “The LORD shall be my God” (Genesis 28:21, NKJV).
After Jacob made his spiritual and financial commitments to God, the Lord directed him to Rachel at the well (see Genesis 29:9-20). It is fitting to make your spiritual decision and your lifework decision before committing to marriage. Your future spouse should know “what they are getting into.” Is this person a committed Christian? What type of work will he or she be involved in? Will this person be a teacher, a nurse, a lawyer, a laborer, whatever? What kind of life will I be committing to? Other questions that need answers before the marriage commitment are: What level of education has been completed? What amount of debt will come into the marriage? Am I willing to accept this situation as part of my responsibility?
| Read 2 Corinthians 6:14-15. Why is this principle so important to consider when looking for a life partner? Though it doesn’t guarantee a good marriage, why would it help make the chances of a good marriage better? |

BERKSHIRE, England — Earlier today a sudden bolt of lightning tore a hole in the roof of a house belonging to a Seventh-day Adventist. The lightning strike occured minutes after sunset as Waden en Agua, a deacon at the local Adventist Church, was rushing to finish vacuuming his living room. Famously spread thin for over-committing […] Source: https://atoday.org/satire-adventist-caught-vacuuming-after-friday-sunset/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=satire-adventist-caught-vacuuming-after-friday-sunset
By Loren Seibold | I just read that the death toll of the earthquake in Turkey and Syria is estimated to have passed 40,000. It may be more. 40,000 people perished in a matter of minutes. Or maybe they wished it were minutes: for some, it was days of suffering, dying of thirst or slow […] Source: https://atoday.org/im-very-angry-at-god-right-now/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=im-very-angry-at-god-right-now
