Truth-Teaching Devices We should seek to follow more closely the example of Christ, the great Shepherd, as He worked with His little company of disciples, studying with them and with the people the Old Testament Scriptures. His active ministry consisted not merely in sermonizing but in educating the people. As He passed through villages, He
I have always regarded hospitals as places to be eluded. Having avoided an overnight stay in such a facility for some 40 years, I should have figured my luck would finally run out. I write from room 1522 in the Meritus Medical Center in Maryland. A whopping sepsis infection carried my fever to new highs and my blood pressure to personal-worst lows.
Both the redeemed and the unfallen beings will find in the cross of Christ their science and their song. It will be seen that the glory shining in the face of Jesus is the glory of self-sacrificing love.

The orange of sunset had seeped into inky blackness, and I was ready to rest. It was just me, and God. Then, I heard a noise. “Buzz, buzzzz, buzzzzz” I glanced at the seat beside me
Transformation begins in worship. That was the underlying message at this year’s Pastoral Evangelism and Leadership Council (PELC), held December 6-9 at the Oakwood University church. Possibly one of the longest-running events in the regional conference system, PELC has existed since 1979. For four days 1,500 ministers and laypeople gathered in Hun
More than 1,700 medical and non-medical volunteers participated in this year’s Your Best Pathway to Health medical mission in San Antonio, Texas, from April 8 to 10.

Three times in the past few months I’ve dreamed that it’s the last day of operations at the Review and Herald Publishing Association in Hagerstown, Maryland. I’m there with my coworkers, cleaning out my office, sharing the angst as an institution that has been such a significant part of our lives and of church history closes its doors for good. In
The Review and Herald Publishing Association closed its Hagerstown, Maryland, facility to the public last Thursday, marking a significant milestone in the restructuring of Adventist publishing in North America.
