Hace un tiempo estuve leyendo un grupo de Facebook dirigido por adventistas sobre la modestia en la vestimenta. Lo llamativo de este grupo es que está organizado y escrito mayoritariamente por hombres, y sin embargo trata casi exclusivamente de mujeres. No es raro en este grupo leer el comentario de un hombre diciendo: “Las mujeres […] Source: https://atoday.org/hombres-haganse-responsables-de-sus-tentaciones/

SDACC Partners with Canadian Conferences to Offer New Burman University Scholarships for First-Time Students
Burman University offers both high-quality Christian education and an environment where students are enveloped in a spiritual atmosphere with other likeminded Christians, while being the most affordable Seventh-day Adventist university in North America. Situated within the hereditary Indigenous land of the Treaty Six Territory in Lacombe, Alta., Burman’s diverse campus family is drawn from across Alberta, Canada, and around the globe. For more than a century, Burman has empowered students to serve their communities.
The Seventh-day Adventist Church in Canada (SDACC) is pleased to announce that, in partnership with Canadian conferences, it is making it even more affordable for new students to attend Burman. Seventy new scholarships—valued at $2,000 each—are being offered to first-time entrants (both new and transfer students) for the 2022/23 school year. This is offered in addition to the three-way matching scholarships—involving Burman, the local church, and local conference—and the summer employment/volunteer service scholarship (valued at $1,000), which are already in place.
Prospective candidates must meet the following eligibility criteria and apply through their local conference office:
- First-time entrant to Burman (new or transfer)
- Adventist membership or regular attendee
- Canadian citizen or permanent resident
- Accepted into a Burman degree
- Registered for a full course load
Over the years, students, families, teachers, and the community have been witnesses to the fact that Burman University is a place where many dreams start. The SDACC and Canadian conferences invite you to take one step closer toward achieving your dreams. Please contact your local conference office for more information on these scholarships:

Thursday: The Death of Rachel
Read Genesis 35:15-29. What other woes did Jacob face within his dysfunctional family?
As soon as Jacob leaves Bethel, three interrelated incidents mark the last step of his journey toward the Promised Land: Jacob’s last son was born; Rachel died; and Reuben, Jacob’s first son from Leah, slept with Jacob’s concubine. Though the text doesn’t say why the young man would do something so evil, it could have been that he wanted to somehow defile the birth of Jacob’s last son and to humiliate the memory of Rachel. We just don’t know.

The birth of Jacob’s last son is linked to Bethlehem (Genesis 35:19), which is within the confines of the Promised Land. This birth is, then, the first fulfillment of God’s promise for the future of Israel. The midwife, prophetically, addresses Rachel with the very words God used to reassure Abraham: “Do not fear” (Genesis 35:17, NKJV, compare with Genesis 15:1).
Significantly, Jacob changes the name that the dying Rachel had given to her son, Ben-Oni, meaning “son of my sorrow” to signify her pain, into Benjamin, meaning “son of the right hand,” perhaps implying the direction of the south in order to express his hope in the Promised Land and all that God said He would do for His people after they had settled there.
Yet during this time Reuben has sexual relations with Bilhah, his father’s concubine and Rachel’s maidservant (Genesis 35:25, Genesis 30:3). We just don’t know why he did this scandalous act, other than as another example of human depravity.
Amazingly, Jacob does not respond to this horrible violation, even though he is told about it (Genesis 35:22). Perhaps at this point in his life, Jacob trusts God that He will fulfill His word despite the sin and evil at times that goes on around him.
It is this precise lesson of faith that is implied in the list of Jacob’s 12 sons, who will be the ancestors of Israel (Genesis 35:22-26). Not the most savory and kindest of people, as we will see. Yet despite all the problems, all the dysfunction, even outright evil, such as Reuben with Bilhah, God’s will was going to be fulfilled through this family, no matter how messed up this family really was.

Even despite human error, God’s ultimate purposes will be fulfilled. Imagine what would happen if people cooperated, if they obeyed Him. How much easier; that is, with less human suffering and stress and delay, could God’s will then be accomplished? |
Amen!
