A Twist of Faith
Horns beeped. People yelled. “Get out of the road, Lloyd!” Lloyd Harred’s family had serviced generations of townspeople’s automobiles. Seniors enjoyed reminiscing with him, but some of us younger women, working locally, found Lloyd distasteful. We went out of our way to avoid him. He embarrassed us with his loud declarations of adoration. His kindness … Continued

Martha or Mary?
My daughter had her first baby almost a year ago. She began taking the baby to Sabbath school within weeks after her birth. Our church has a wonderful beginner’s program for ages 0 to 24 months, complete with songs, felts, waving flags, and seasonal themes during which the children are first exposed to Jesus.

Yet Not I, But Through Christ in Me
What immediately comes to your mind when you think of holiness? The images of holiness that exist within contemporary culture tend to reflect soul-body dualism. Within this paradigm, heaven is often thought of as white and sterile—like a hospital ward that has been perfectly sanitized. Immaterial souls float on immaterial clouds. Meanwhile, those who have … Continued

Do Biblical Impurity Rules Literally Apply Today?
Some conscientious Christians have the idea that they should simply read the Bible and then do exactly what it says to do. Read and do—that’s it. So what about Leviticus 15:19-23?

One in the Saddle, One in the Office
Ellen White attended the General Conference (GC) Session in Takoma Park in 1909. The two-year-old controversy between W. W. Prescott and S. N. Haskell on “the daily” had yet to subside. Looking to move the church toward city evangelism, something she saw as much more urgent, Ellen White met with the GC Committee before returning … Continued

“To Him Who Overcomes!”
With our background, we can feel overwhelmed when faced with the teachings of Paul and John. “Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not!” (Rom. 6:1). Or “I write to you, so that you may not sin” (1 John 2:1). Is that an impossible goal for people like us? All of us … Continued
