The compelling logic between particular controversies in the church is often, and unfortunately, missed.

The events of the past week in the United States have evoked calls for “lowering the temperature” in political discourse, urging grace and civility in social dialogue, even making effort to contact friends with whom one differs on such issues and letting them know how much they are appreciated.  Bible-believing Christians, of course, shouldn’t need politicians or journalists to remind them of such responsibilities.

Last month the U.S. state of Louisiana enacted a law requiring the posting of the Ten Commandments in all public schools within its territory, from kindergarten to state-funded universities. How should Seventh-day Adventists respond?

Much of the current debate over LGBT issues among conservative Christians has focused on the perceived need to change one’s orientation. But Biblical sin is not about orientation. Like righteousness, sin in the Bible is all about choice.
