As someone once said, “The cross is the payment for our sins, but the resurrection is the receipt proving the debt was paid.”

Since the entire universe is Jesus’ domain, as He entered that final conflict with Satan, it was not just our personal salvation that was at stake. The safety and fate of the universe was on the line.

Neither the Jewish people nor the citizens of the United States have kept these basic civilization rules perfectly.  But the United States has the distinction of repenting and restoring those broken principles.

Where does the living God dwell upon this earth today? Not in a physical temple. The New Testament clearly teaches that the church is the temple upon this earth. Earthly temples are history.

The spirit operating in Ellen White was the Holy Spirit, not that of Satan. This depiction in the Spectrum article is an abomination and warrants an apology to the readers for what was done to God’s Prophet and the horrific message it sends.

He would not bring himself to say, "I'm sorry"?! How many Great Controversies do we ignite through our pride, that could have been averted, had we just humbled ourselves?

The desire to be ‘cool’ has infected Pastors, Youth pastors, parents, politicians, Pathfinder Jamborees, and college students and faculty.  The Cool has infected all aspects of our lives. 

Then suddenly, everything took an unexpected turn!  He bolted from the table, rushed into his office and closed the door behind him.  We were left stunned—until we saw why. 

“For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart” (Romans 2:28–29).

What is missing in this letter from the Lake Union is significant. They declined to state that MISDA is correct in their interpretation of the Manual, in their attempt to ban a local elder in his own congregation.

The rightful authority of the church is being subverted and taken from you—it’s a clear power grab. 

James Talarico is the new name on many Seventh-day Adventists’ lips.  The young democratic Texas state legislator is very adept at utilizing the language of Christian faith in service to his progressive political agenda.

We, (you and I) are the heritage of the Lord, because the Righteousness of Christ is our robe. There is no other way to enter the Promised Land.

My wife held the phone out for a moment so the engagee could receive my blessing.  Feeling the urge to say something, I gave it my best shot.  “Squeeze your toothpaste from the bottom!” I blurted out.

The Bible and SOP are clear in their agreement that infidelity is the only grounds condoned by God to obtain a divorce, and that the person who marries the guilty spouse becomes an adulterer as well.

According to the Pacific Union, Adventism must always seek to peacefully co-exist with Darwinian “science.”

When Israel adopted Canaanite terms for fertility gods, they did not intend idolatry—they intended relevance. Yet this mixture provoked divine judgment.

That is what feminists think happened, but they are wrong.  Feminization is not an organic result of women outcompeting men.  It is an artificial result of social engineering, and if we take our thumb off the scale it will collapse within a generation.

We are standing on the shoulders of giants, through no particular virtue of our own.  There are other Christian believers who have a depth of commitment to the Lord that sometimes exceeds our own.
