November 2024 President’s Video: “A Beacon of Light”
We had a special treat this month at Adventist World Radio. Pastor Wisam Ali visited our headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland, for a meeting with all the regional directors from around the world to plan and strategize the work of AWR for the coming year. Pastor Wisam and his family have been in our prayers every day since the recent conflict in the Middle East began. As you know, he’s in charge of our AWR radio station in Nazareth, Israel, which covers not only Israel, but the cluster of surrounding Arab countries. Almost nightly they’re awakened by air raid sirens that announce incoming rockets intent on penetrating Israel’s Iron Dome. The airports are closed, so it wasn’t easy for Wisam to travel to America. But it was a blessing to have him with us for a few days and listen as he shared what God is doing in that part of the world amid extremely difficult circumstances. Here is a short video where I interview Wisam about the challenges they face on a daily basis, and what God is doing through our Nazareth station—a beacon of light and hope amid the horror of war. If you would like to read some of Wisam’s amazing miracle stories, be on the lookout for our December newsletter and the latest issue of Transmissions. You won’t be disappointed—you’ll be blessed! Yours in that Blessed Hope, Duane McKey

Wednesday: Rejecting the Source of Life
Daily Lesson for Wednesday 27th of November 2024
Some of the saddest accounts in all of Scripture occur in the Gospel of John. “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. . . . [The Light] was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him” (John 1:5,10-11, NKJV). The “I AM” was rejected by many of His own people.
No wonder Paul later warns, “Do not cast away your confidence” (Hebrews 10:35, NKJV). As we have seen again and again, Christ was rejected because people did not accept His Word.

“The contemporary humanistic way of thinking begins with doubt. People question everything in order to determine what is truth. That which survives the fire of cross-examination they accept as rock-solid knowledge, something on which to place one’s faith. Some apply the same method to the Bible, calling everything into question from a scientific, historical, psychological, philosophical, archaeological, or geological perspective in order to determine what is truth in the Bible. The very method itself starts with and builds upon doubt in the veracity of Scripture. Christ asked, ‘When the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?’ (Luke 18:8).”—E. Edward Zinke and Roland Hegstad, The Certainty of the Second Coming (Hagerstown, MD: Review and Herald Publishing Association, 2000), p. 96.
Read Numbers 13:23-33. What made the difference between the two reports the spies brought back about Canaan?
The sin of the Hebrews when they were at Kadesh Barnea was to doubt the Word of God. God had asked them to go up and take the land. Twelve spies were sent to Canaan to spy out the land. They came back with two reports. The majority gave a negative report. There are giants in the land, walled cities, weapons we have never seen before, and well-trained armies. By contrast, we have been slaves in the land of Egypt with little military experience. Ten spies voted no, based upon the overwhelming evidence from a human standpoint. Two spies voted yes based upon their faith in the overwhelming power of the Word of God.

How do we avoid making the same kind of mistake made here? And yet, how do we also avoid presumption, doing something foolish but believing that we are doing God’s will and, therefore, cannot fail? |
