The compelling logic between particular controversies in the church is often, and unfortunately, missed.
Read MoreBIBLICAL PEACEMAKING
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.
Read MoreSECULAR HUMANISM
As a teenager, star-struck with the march of scientific progress, I sat in front of my science teacher and listened with rapture as he told us that God was nothing more than a man-made concept, and that man needed to progress himself from his caveman existence to where we are today (about 1966).

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?
Read MoreA BIG REASON WHY THE DEFINITION OF SIN MATTERS
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.
Read MoreSHALL WE "LEAVE RELIGION TO FOLLOW JESUS"?
This week I was informed of a colleague in ministry who has embraced the mantra, “Leave religion to follow Jesus.” How does this notion compare with the picture of Jesus found in the Bible?
Read MoreUzzah's Presumption and Rashness
The story of Uzzah's death in 2 Samuel 6:6-7 presents a challenging theological issue: why was Uzzah slain for touching the Ark of the Covenant, despite his apparent good intentions, when the Bible also emphasizes that God looks at the heart (1 Samuel 16:7) and not outward actions?
Read MoreA CAGE OF EVERY UNCLEAN AND HATEFUL BIRD
When we see the idolatrous veneration of the most corrupt of men blatantly practiced by Christians claiming to be guardians of Biblical morality, we can know for certain that the spiritual collapse of all but a faithful remnant of Christ’s visible body (Zeph. 3:13; Rev. 12:17) is well under way.
Read MoreANOTHER ADVENTIST AGAINST THE SABBATH
The pillar doctrines of the Seventh-day Adventist faith remain thoroughly Biblical, and this fact merits repetition as often as possible.
Read MoreTHE JOY OF CAMP MEETING

Read MoreThe Climate Change Agenda and the Prophetic Sunday Law: A Different Perspective
Recent discussions have raised concerns about the global climate change movement and whether it might lead to the enforcement of Sunday laws. However, a careful analysis reveals that the current environmental advocacy, including the Vatican's efforts, does not align with the prophetic scenario described in Adventist eschatology.

The faultless character required of those who would meet their Lord in peace at His return encompasses both personal and collective responsibility.
Read MoreWISHFUL ONENESS
There are those in contemporary Adventism who urge that doctrinal, moral, and ecclesiastical differences be transcended through “oneness in Christ.” But the Bible presents two visions of Christian oneness—one in John 17, the other in Isaiah 4. Which one will we embrace?
Read MoreA WORK OF PREPARATION
God is the only One who can help us be conquerors in the battle with evil—without Him we are hopelessly lost in sin.
Read MoreHOW MANY DEFINITIONS?
Ellen White’s repetitive insistence that First John 3:4 (“Sin is the transgression of the law”) is the only definition of sin found in Holy Scripture, is both consistent with the overall Biblical message and compellingly logical.
Read MoreOLD ALLEGATIONS, NEW EVIDENCE
A recent book resurrects old allegations of historical inaccuracy regarding Ellen White’s recounting of Reformation history in certain chapters of The Great Controversy. Are these allegations credible?
Read MoreTHE LGBT CHALLENGE TO SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISM
Let us pray for and encourage our leaders to take a decisive though compassionate stand for the teachings of God’s Word relative to gender and sexuality, and to hold all accountable at every level for their adherence to the same. Nothing less is possible for the great end-time movement of whom God will one day soon declare, “Here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus” (Rev. 14:12).
