No Shoes, No Parents

May 11, 2019 By admin

Antonio is 21 years old and very brave. He goes five days a week to the crowded Tacumbu prison in Paraguay’s capital, Asunción, to give Bible studies to 11 inmates.
But Antonio wasn’t always so brave. He grew up with a violent father and didn’t own a pair of shoes until he was 13. He says it is a miracle that he only visits the prison and is not an inmate living there.
Some of Antonio’s earliest memories are being beaten by his father. His parents cleaned houses for a wealthy man and cared for…

Adventist volunteers deliver food to parents in pediatric hospital

May 11, 2019 By admin

While some children live happily with their parents, others sleep in a hospital ward. Many have been in these hospital’s for years. Their parents visit them as much as possible, for as long as possible, regardless of the weather, if they’re hungry, or lack sleep. To make this situation more bearable, the group “Adventist Hospital Volunteer,” led by Abel Vivanco, visited the Exequiel González Cortés Pediatric Hospital, in Santiago Chile to give breakfast and dinner to the parents of the children….

It’s Complicated

February 26, 2019 By admin

Have you ever felt this way about your life? About your family? Maybe about your marriage? Life in the Twenty First Century is complicated. Just think about all of the things the average adult has to think about each day:

If you own a house, that will keep you busy—with paying the utility bills on time, and the property taxes. You don’t want to forget that. And don’t forget, as a home owner you have to fix everything that breaks, or call someone to do it for you.

A couple of years I ago I was away on a trip, which happens fairly often with my work, when I got a call from my wife (Linda). She said, “Guess what, the toilet isn’t working.” Ugh. The toilet. Come to find out it wasn’t just the toilet. It was all of the toilets (there are three), and the sewage system alarm was going off. We had a problem, and of course, it had to happen while I was away.

Our house is kind of unique, which is another way of saying, it’s complicated!

Because we live on a hill and have a steep driveway, the house is lower than the road—which means that gravity keeps the sewage from going from our house up to the city sewer line near the road. To get around this, the builder installed a holding tank (like a small septic tank) near the house that has a pump that keeps our world sane—when it works.

Not only is life complicated, sometimes it can be costly! We ended up paying close to $3,000 to make our toilets happy.

If you don’t think life is complicated, you must not have to fill out tax forms, or fly on a plane, or potty train a child, or be married, or try to navigate the complexities of our culture as a single person, or drive a car?

They tell us in a few more years we won’t have to drive anymore. That’s right! We’ll all be riding around in driverless cars that are operated by software designed by, you guessed it, people. What can possibly go wrong? I’m not a pessimists, but I’ve lived long enough to know that what people can create, somebody can hack.

I can just see the news headlines now—”Massive Four Million Car Pileup Orchestrated by North Korean Cyber Terrorists.”

Life is complicated.

I know a young man who, through no fault of his own, was diagnosed with schizophrenia when he was 18 years of age. Now in his late 30’s he has to take 17 pills a day, meet with a psychologist four times a month, in addition to visits with a psychiatrist.

Don’t tell him life isn’t complicated.

It’s a good thing we have smartphones because it’s not easy staying on top of it all without artificial intelligence. My Google calendar reminds me each day what I need to do, which bills need to be paid, where I’m supposed to be, when I’m supposed to eat (well, not quite). But to an extent, our lives are ordered by the clocks.

Sometimes it feels like everything we humans touch becomes complex—to a fault. We want to analyze and control everything, including the church and spirituality. And often we only make things worse.

This is why Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light” (Matthew 11:28-30, NLT).

Yes, life is complicated, and it will probably get even more so in the coming months and years. But thank God he has not left us here to face it alone!

Rich DuBose writes from Northern California.

Light and Warmth

February 25, 2019 By admin

On a sunny winter day we opened the shades on the south facing windows and sliding doors of our home. During most of the year they are closed to keep the house cool, but during a cold snap the warmth is welcome. The sleepy cats soon found places in sunshine spots on the floor to luxuriate.

Along with the bright light and warmth of morning, the truth of my housekeeping was on display everywhere. The disturbing revelation included dirty specks on the floors, smudges and rain residue on the windows and sliding doors, greasy marks and fingerprints on my kitchen cabinets and stainless steel appliances, plus cat hair on the furniture. So much cleaning had been neglected! I started to feel ashamed and then defensive. I argued with myself: most of the time this doesn’t show, I have other things in my life, I don’t use a maid, my house is cleaner than average, it looks fine in the afternoon and evening light. Oh, just shut the shades so I don’t have to see all this!

Yet the older I get, the less confident I feel about walking in darkness or dim lighting. I am glad that there is a streetlight near my house. I don’t really like driving my car in new routes in the dark. Sure I can use a flashlight or my car headlights but that only lights a path and there are a lot of unknowns in the shadows. Crime statistics prove that the majority of evil is done under the darkness of night. 

Have you ever taken something into sunlight so you could see it’s “true colors”? I am reminded about how all of us sometime like to hide in the dark. Or we keep others in the dark so they won’t know the truth about us. We can fool ourselves for so long but if the sunlight of truth or honesty hits us, we are shamed, angry or defensive as we back into the darkness. In 2 Corinthians 4:4, the Apostle Paul tells us that the god of this age has blinded unbelievers so “they don’t see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ,” (NIV).

Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life” John 8:12.  God often shows up as a burning or blinding light in Bible stories. He, as the source of energy and life, is a ball of fire, a burning bush, an eternal flame, a brilliance too much for human eyes. However, there is mercy once we are in God’s wonderful light (I Peter 2:9-10).

God made his light shine in our hearts (2 Corinthians 4: 6) and we are invited to use the light that God gives us to help brighten this world—to bring an end to darkness of the mind and spirit (Matthew 5:14-16). I want to welcome God’s light and warmth in a world that so often presses darkness upon us and chills us with fear and anxiety.

In the bright sunshine I marveled at the delicate details of my cats’ fur, the flowers outside the window, and a blue cloudless sky. Then  I swept my floor, wiped some cabinet fronts and started singing a song from my childhood. “This little light of mine, I’m going let it shine.” 

Questions for personal journaling or group discussion:

  1. Tell about a time when you longed for sunshine.
  2. In Revelation 21, the New Jerusalem or the Holy City that God has prepared for his believers is described. Read verses 23 and 24. What is the “glory of God” to you? 

Karen Spruill writes from Florida.
