Se fue el papa jesuita, de los grandes titulares como “el papa del fin del mundo”, de los muchos planes de reforma para su iglesia; quien llegó al poder en medio de los escándalos de abuso sexual de sacerdotes católicos, que hicieron renunciar a Benedicto XVI. Y que, sin lugar a dudas, el pontificado del […] Source: https://atoday.org/y-con-francisco-muere-otra-vez-la-ley-dominical/
Adventism is unraveling, and it stings. A bloated church structure lets a few strongmen smother debate, block women’s ordination, and cram our dear church into a suffocating, General Conference-approved box. Honest dialogue? Routinely crushed. Conspiracy theories, anti-intellectualism, and contempt for “outsiders” fester in the pews. Evangelists wield fear and guilt to corral the flock. Meanwhile, […] Source: https://atoday.org/editorial-the-truth-about-our-churchs-troubles-how-to-fight-back/
Adventist conspiracy theorists are on high alert, scanning the horizon for signs of “The Shaking”—that end-time sifting where the true remnant will rise and the unfaithful will fall. But in 2025, they’re seeing omens in the most unexpected places, and it’s not just the Sunday law they’re worried about. Here are nine things they swear […] Source: https://atoday.org/satire-9-signs-we-are-experiencing-the-shaking/

Memory Text:
“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” (Psalms 46:10, NKJV).
Through the centuries, some people have argued that God wanted the Fall, that it was His intention for humans to descend into sin and death and thus lead Him—in the person of Jesus—to the cross. After all, how else could He have so powerfully and graphically displayed the depth of His love for humanity than by dying on the cross for them? In short, the thinking goes, God needed humanity to fall.
That is a horrible and wretched position to take. It was never God’s intention for either Satan or humanity to fall. The rebellion of Satan, and then of humanity, was a tragedy of immense consequence, and our joy in Him would have remained complete had our first parents not fallen.
This week, we will continue looking at the problems caused by the Fall and the desire for human government as opposed to God’s governance. These truths are powerfully revealed in the book of Daniel, which shows that God was right when He warned His people about what would happen when they turned away from Him and chose earthly monarchs instead. This is exactly what they got: earthly monarchs and sinners lording it over sinners—never a good combination.
