Make sure to dedicate the time you have with the kids to the Lord each week. It's so easy to get caught up in the program to the point that it becomes "my" program. We must always remember that it's God's program and that these are his kids. If you continually seek the Lord, He will direct...

This is an issue that I was recently looking at - especially the aspect of judging others. God has led me to do a study that may be beneficial to you as well. I am currently reading through all four gospels (one at a time). As I read I write down any key ideas that jump out at me about how...

So many people fill you with a list of things you can't do on the Sabbath. It becomes so overwhelming and burdensome, and can be a huge burden to manage. I recommend that you take some time to study it out for yourself. Pull out a concordance and look up the word Sabbath. Take some real time...

Most certainly!! We are called to be witnesses of God in ALL that we do. You can teach people about God through your actions, with anyone you work with. You can show them Christ's love. And, pray every day that God will open the door for You to share Him in a more real an concrete way. And...

I was just reading one of NightEternal's posts, and my heart was struck. I have been talking to so many Adventist's lately and it seems as though our devotion is dying. I'm not talking about our devotion to the church or anything else - although in some cases that may be true, but I'm talking...

This is totally my opinion, and I don't have any scripture to back this up (yikes - something I really try not to do), but I'm going to give it a shot. I think it's a little bit of both. Paul talks about the law being as a mirror that shows us our sinfulness. In that case, yes, God gave us...

Thanks to those of you who tried to help me out some. I really appreciate that. However, I have to admit, I am a little disappointed. It seems that all I've hear are vague generalizations that aren't incredibly helpful along with this huge argument that you are all now in. It seems to me...

This is taken from the official SDA website and is the 23 fundamental belief of SDA's. This is what our doctrine states. I hope this helps some. Marriage was divinely established in Eden and affirmed by Jesus to be a lifelong union between a man and a woman in loving...

Okay, I am a little confused about all of this. What constitutes traditional, and what constitutes progressive? Why is there the split? Isn't an Adventist and Adventist? I have picked up from a few of the posts that this is a hot topic in the forums. I'm not trying to start a debate, so...

H2Row, feel free to use it any time! I had a lot of fun writing it. God actually used this story to speak to me as I was spending time praying to Him. I was talking to Him about how I sometimes get more excited about the work I'm doing for God than being with Him. This was His response to...

Monica sat contentedly in her seat on flight 553. She couldn't wait to arrive at her destination. It had been 10 years since she visited her small hometown of Hindersonville. More than anything she was excited to connect with the cherished people of her past. The people of Hindersonville found...

Thanks for the links!

Hey guys, thank you for all your comments. I've been spending a lot more time praying about this, and I know I still have a lot more praying to do. There are several doors opening in our lives that would lead to the house church becoming more of a reality. The options would all look quite...

I don't know that this will help, and I am warning you, it's kind of academic, but it may help some. Check out this website. It's called Ellen White Answers.

That's awesome!

There are so many new people joining this thread lately that I thought it might be nice to start an introduction thread. Each person can answer the following questions: 1. How long have you been an SDA? 2. What's your favorite color? 3. Your favorite song to sing at church? 4. Your favorite...

Welcome Flatlandah! It's good to have you here! I hope you enjoy your time on CF!

Hey guys - thanks for all your great comments. I thought I'd jump in here too. You all are doing a wonderful job! First of all I want to say welcome to brnagain! It's good to have you on the sight and I pray that God will be with you as you seek to find a new church. I don't know if this is...

Happy Sabbath all! I didn't see a happy Sabbath thread for today, so I thought I would start one! How do you all plan to spend your Sabbath? God bless! *Tink*

A lot of these questions ask if I 'believe' something. I'm trying to understand the deffination of believe. There seems to be more to it that simply believing. There are probably a bunch of people who believe in God and believe that Jesus is His son, but they don't allow that belief to change...
