No doubt, 2020 will be one of those years that will stand out in the history books. A global pandemic, record storms and fires, a gyrating economy, social unrest and political division, (and we still have a month to go!). But we can still be thankful in spite of the chaos because we know who holds the future and how the story ends.
We live in most solemn times. Human probation is about to close. Thus, we must understand three facts. Namely, God is particular. Satan is sneaky. The Bible is our greatest weapon. The devil knows this verse. “For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all.” We’ve got that covered. We keep the Seventh-day Sabbath. True. So, Satan will trip up Seventh-day Adventists with alternatives to Sabbath-breaking.
As the New Year begins, most of us long for a fresh start in our lives. Countless numbers of individuals make resolutions about how the new year will bring great change, but the challenge comes when those resolutions fail. As Christians, we have the opportunity to make a new start each day—with the grace of Christ to help us when we fall short of our own expectations or His.
We have the opportunity to serve in multiple capacities, one of them being Media which is one of the many ministries in this Church. If you have been wondering what it would be like to minister to thousands of people outside the walls of the sanctuary but don’t have any broadcast knowledge, not to worry!
Fishing can be an addiction -- No matter how busy Steve is with multiple building projects and overdue deadlines, he always drops everything to go fishing. It’s as though his contracting work exists only to support his fishing habit. Every Christian should be a fish-a-holic. Whatever our earthly career, it should only be to support us during our soul-winning endeavors.
Central to the first angel’s message of Revelation 14:7 is a call to worship God as Creator. The fact that we are created by God and in His image gives value and purpose to life. We are not the result of random chemical reactions or biological mishaps, but are sons and daughters of the Creator of the Universe.
