In a world that never stops moving, God offers something radical—rest. The Sabbath is not only a sign between God and His people; it’s His invitation to peace, renewal and physical relief from your burdens. Jesus says in Matthew 11:28, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” This is more than poetry—it’s a promise. This Sabbath, bring your weariness and your worries to Christ. He is ready to give you rest. Experience the peace He gives. Like, comment and share this message of hope today. #AWR360 #HappySabbath Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXguotIbwTg
Esaïe 56.1-8: la droiture et la non-conformité de genre
par Olive J. Hemmings | 24 mai 2025 | Comme je l’ai expliqué précédemment dans un article de ce magazine, la droiture dont les prophètes parlent ne concerne pas la piété personnelle basée sur la performance et la conformité aux normes sociales, dogmatiques et rituelles. Le mot que les traducteurs [anglais] rendent systématiquement par droiture […] Source: https://atoday.org/esaie-56-1-8-la-droiture-et-la-non-conformite-de-genre/
Sunday: A Very Present Help in the Time of Trouble
Daily Lesson for Sunday 25th of May 2025
Read Psalms 46:1-11. What message of hope can we take from this amid the turmoil of life now and what we know is going to come upon the earth in the last days as the great controversy plays out here?
Psalms 46:1-11 appears to touch on a theme that we find in the book of Hebrews: that of something better. Jesus is better than the earthly high priest, His sacrifice is better than all the animal sacrifices, and the heavenly sanctuary is better than the types that existed on earth.

This psalm takes a different approach, however. The author is not taking good things and contrasting them with better things; he is contrasting a world in rebellion—and the terrible consequences it has brought—with promise of the better things that God is planning for us.
Indeed, this psalm is filled with hope and promise that, even amid the desolation and trial and suffering and wars that we face, ultimately we are to “be still, and know that I am God” (Psalms 46:10) and to rest in the assurance that one day all of this is going to end and that God “will be exalted in the earth” (Psalms 46:10).
Notice, too, what is written here. “Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea” (Psalms 46:2, NKJV).
One cannot help but be reminded of the scenes that will take place at the Second Coming: “Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place” (Revelation 6:14, NKJV). And this: “Looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat” (2 Peter 3:12, NKJV). Our present world, with all its attendant evils, isn’t going to last forever, and what comes afterward promises us something that our minds now can barely fathom. For now, though, we just need to hold on, persevering in faith and clinging to the revelation of God that we have, especially in Jesus on the cross.

However bad things are in this world (and we know they are going to get worse), what hope should you draw from your knowledge of the goodness, power, and character of God (think: the Cross)? |

Why Don’t Liberals Write the Big Checks? Wealth disparity, stewardship, and the Adventist monied class
by Matthew Quartey | 23 May 2025 | At Sabbath School a few months ago, our class discussions strayed from the study topic and segued into funding and budgeting difficulties at Andrews University—problems that threatened to unleash deep institutional cuts. The question was whether the school’s long standing funding model, which relies heavily on student […] Source: https://atoday.org/why-dont-liberals-write-the-big-checks-wealth-disparity-stewardship-and-the-adventist-monied-class/
