    Faithful to God or to the church?

    The Watchmen letter is quite a damning article. I still uphold the SDA Church despite its sad condition. Talking about such negatives will only make you negative. I read that you have to adopt the 28 fundamental creed upon baptism, sadly faith is not a part of the creed, the only fundamental...

    Charlie Kirk.

    Matt what I liked about Charlie Kirk was he listened to people and spent time talking to them. I would like that gift, but alas I do not have this? not sure? I was a teacher, I was a debater in my school days, but Charlie had something deeper - He could reach others on their level. SHalom

    Faithful to God or to the church?

    Well said Chomsky. However despite this, I remain loyal to my SDA assembly. The faithful widow remained loyal and put into the treasury all she had to live on. She lived by faith instead. My wish for my SDA colleagues is that they might experience genuine faith (and be saved) as the Lord has...

    Sunday Decree - when to get out of the cities?

    Bible Prophecy says to get out of the cities when the Abomination of Desolation stands in the Holy Place. This siege happened in Jerusalem twice. There was a gap of some months? or year? between. Jerusalem is a type for the global Sunday Decree - a common SDA theme for over 150 years - have we...

    Sunday Decree - when to get out of the cities?

    I have asked many SDA people in my local Church, when Sunday decree comes, how are you going to get your medical meds? They reply, hope to be dead by then, or they don't know. Such SDA people live in cities like the rest of the secular population do. The same old Sabbath School lessons continue...

    Sunday Decree - when to get out of the cities?

    There is a 34 page document called "Out-Post-Centres-1.pdf published by the SDA General Secretariat by David Trim, and the document is disturbing to say the least. https://www.adventistresearch.info/wp-content/uploads/Outpost-Centres-1.pdf “If God gives me strength, I shall be in the cities”...

    Faithful to God or to the church?

    Well Chief I was disappointed with my Church when COV19 hit. The Church did not support us. I needed a religious exemption for a COV19 vaccine, but none was forthcoming. The Church also shut its doors, so that was a worry. We are not supposed to spoil our bodies in any way that is considered...

    WHAT FRIEND DO YOU HAVE?

    The message reminded me to remember my friend Carl and send him happy 2026. He was the first friend to experience genuine faith, without being religious. How easy it is to fall in love with God. I pray he continues to be guided by the Spirit and develop into man God can fall in love with...

    When Saints Struggle: Biblical Lessons for Overcoming Depression and Anxiety

    Thanks Chief, I worry about my kids, some I have never seen for over 12 years, and I feel abandoned by them, though they might angrily have their reasons. Divorce is bad enough on a little kid, let alone the tragedies in their lives. Last night it cost me 3 hours of sleep, so you wait depressed...

    SSQ1 2026 - Lesson 1: Persecuted but Not Forsaken

    Greetings Php 3:9 ¶ And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: Paul speaks in Phillipians this verse summarizing the letter. Jews are devout self empowered humans who...

    I'm a seventh-day adventist and I always was

    Greetings Flavius I had a back packer come to me as a work colleague as we were employed as gardeners in the Village, a very large motel for mining guests, around 700 rooms on 5 acres of landscape gardens. His name was Tomas, His Father was strict Greek Orthodox and His Mum divorced him and...

    When Saints Struggle: Biblical Lessons for Overcoming Depression and Anxiety

    Thanks Chief As a Gardener I notice every day plants get wilted and depressed naturally from their encounter with the SONlight of glory and wilt under the Glory of making His sweet grace by faith. The water of the HS comes into the leaf to cool us under God's tribulation and His glory changing...

    1888 Rebellion?

    Greetings my friend You said "Why do you think the church still resists this message today, per EGW's warnings? Satan shutting it away feels so relevant—let's unpack that together. People are forced by faith from the Devil to have a sense of independent power that humans call "self human...

    1888 Rebellion?

    I had a look, older couple, over 80 or 90 years old. They have evidence the EGW writings have been changed alot over the years. Hmm? It does not matter much - God is the tutor of truth when you trust Him. The Bible I suspect has suffered the same over the years - hence why I read Ancient...
