Poco a poco me voy dando cuenta de que la iglesia a la que pertenezco, y en la que he crecido, con la que me he identificado durante toda mi vida, ha cambiado. Ya no es la iglesia a la que me uní cuando me bautizaron hace 60 años. Solía considerar el cambio como […] Source: https://atoday.org/yo-no-deje-mi-iglesia-mi-iglesia-me-ha-dejado/
Transgender Awareness Week & Trans Day of Remembrance
by Esther Loewen | 18 November 2022 | While I am transgender and a woman married to a woman, I am also white, educated, conventionally abled, Christian, fertile, and socially well-networked. I own my own home and vehicles, I am in my 40s, and I speak and write fluently in English. All this is to […] Source: https://atoday.org/transgender-awareness-week-trans-day-of-remembrance/
Sabbath: Contrary Passages?
Sabbath Afternoon
Read for This Week’s Study: Luke 16:19-31, Luke 23:43, John 20:17, Philippians 1:21-24, 1 Peter 3:13-20, Revelation 6:9-11.
Memory Text: “You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me” (John 5:39, NKJV).
Peter warns us: “always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you” (1 Peter 3:15, NKJV). Paul adds, “Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine” (2 Timothy 4:2-3, , NKJV). This being the case, we should look not only at those passages that easily can be explained to fit our beliefs, but we should also deal with passages that are commonly used to teach something different from what we believe.
As we do, we should follow the inspiring example of Jesus. “Christ Himself did not suppress one word of truth, but He spoke it always in love. … He was never rude, never needlessly spoke a severe word, never gave needless pain to a sensitive soul. He did not censure human weakness.” — Ellen G. White, The Desire of Ages, p. 353.
This week we will study some intriguing passages that people use to justify the natural immortality of the soul. These reflections should strengthen our own convictions and help us to answer kindly those who question this crucial teaching.
Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, November 26.

“Flirting with Love.” Scottish youth hold authentic conversations at Mission youth retreat.
We all want to see God and Jesus tells us that we need purity to make it possible: “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” (Matthew 5:8)
“Be pure = See God.”
Simple equation, right? Well, in reality it is a lot harder to be pure, especially in today’s overly sexualized society.
The 2022 Scottish Mission youth retreat availed a safe space for young people to have authentic conversations around pertinent issues regarding sexual purity. We delved deep into topics that are rarely…Source: https://adventist.uk/news/article/go/2022-11-18/flirting-with-love-scottish-youth-hold-authentic-conversations-at-mission-youth-retreat/
Testigos de Jesús entre mil millones de hindúes
Nací y me crie en un pueblo de la India donde casi el 100% de la población era cristiana. Los misioneros de Inglaterra habían llegado aquí hace unos 250 años y evangelizaron esta zona. Mis bisabuelos eran hindúes, cuando los misioneros Adventistas del Séptimo día llegaron a Mukuperi, un pueblo muy pequeño cerca del mío, […] Source: https://atoday.org/testigos-de-jesus-entre-mil-millones-de-hindues/
