Hi to everyone:wave: Great to meet you all.

I have been here before, but it has been quite a long time. I stopped posting because we had a death in the family, and I had back surgery, plus a job change recently.

I am new to being a SDA. I was watching TV and found John Carter and then Doug Batchelor on 3ABN. I knew what they were teaching was the truth. I remember checking everything with the Bible. I couldn't understand why I never heard this material in the Lutheran Church in which I was raised. I read several Ellen White books, watched more SDA preachers, and I couldn't believe how the Bible actually came alive for me. Why hadn't I heard this stuff before?

Anyway, after about a year I joined a local SDA Church and was baptized in the Missouri River along with my daughter. To me it is very exciting to be a part of this church. I am still learning so much all the time.

We have two children, we live on a farm in central SD.
I work part time as a nurse; and help on the farm some. It's a great place to raise children. It's even better knowing that I am teaching them truth.

Welcome back midnightcry! Great to hear that God is becoming such a big part of your life right now :D


I figured I'd introduce myself here too, even though I kinda did in the TSDA subforum.

My name is Pete, and I live in Pennsylvania. I go to the Robbinsville SDA Church in New Jersey. I'm an assistant youth leader over at the church and I also run the sound system during the church as well(not as much as in the past though hehe).


My path to the Lord has been an interesting one. My parents became Adventists in '82. Besides having my sister, my parents wanted another child. But my mom's health wasn't very good. she had thyroid problems, had several operations on it, and through some complications the doctors told her that it will be physically impossible for her to have another child.

Well here's proof that our God hears and answers prayers because after 2 years of sincere prayer I was born. Now I've kind of promised Him that since he gave me life, I will give him my life in return. Being an Adventist my whole life I've learned so much about the Lord and all the truths we hold sacred.

Yet these past couple years have been absolutely crazy, so to speak. I guess Satan saw how close I was getting to the Lord and how much I wanted to give up for him so starting after my baptism in September of 06, he has tried his best to lead me astray and lead me down the wrong path. Not getting into too many details but he tried everything from drugs, girls, fame, you name it... he was pulling me into his realm. He almost succeeded too, and I have to admit I was really falling into the world. You could say I went through a very rough 'refining' process. And while I was at my lowest point ever God gave me strength to break free of the chains Satan had put on me. :D


Now the latter rain is almost here and I'm just getting ready to do the work that I know God has planned for me to do when he first brought me into this world. I can't wait!

Yours in Christ.

Hello to both Midnightcry and tnp2140,

It's good to have you abord! Please feel free to ask questions, make suggestions, and participate in the forums.

I would also like to invite you to join us in the Sabbath School Lesson Daily Study in the New Adventist/Bible Study Sub-forum. You will not only find the daily Sabbath School lesson but you will also find additional lesson helps for each day as well as for the entire week.

On Friday I post links for the next days complete Sabbath School Study Hour, including song service, from Sacramento Centeral Seventh-day Adventist Church where Pastor Doug Batchelor is the Senior Pastor. In case you're wondering how I can post a SS Study Hour that hasn't taken place yet, it's because they study 3 weeks in advance of the posted date and archive the program. We also post a sermon link so you can get an entire Sabbath church service at home which you can view at any time thats convient.

I look forward to you guys being with us.

Your friend and brother in Christ,
Doc

Greetings Pete! Nice to meet you. You are lucky to have been raised an Adventist. Just think of all the knowledge of truth you have over the rest of us.
I am looking forward to seeing you around.

I enjoyed reading that. My hope is that you continue to grow in the fear of the Lord. We here are a warm people. Mainly because we are warm blooded. But i think you will enjoy it here.

Come to think of it I have never introduced myself here and it has been months since I joined CF. But i have nothing interesting to say anyway. I've been here a while so some people already know my name. Its been months overdue but let me just say something about me. My name is Rhondel. I am 19 years old. I grew up an Adventist. I live in Grenada in the Caribbean. I am currently attending a local university to earn a bachelors degree in Information Technology. Those are just a few things about me. Take care everyone.

I also just noticed this thread and also wish to add my welcome to everybody here. :)

As I came into this church in 1976, I am also a first generation Seventh-day Adventist.

I am also probably one of the few Canadians on here.

Hello

I am....forgot how old I am...30 this year.

I have been a sinner since birth. I have spent my life wasting the time God has given me on various hell bound projects. I have done little to advance the cause of Christ and for that I should pay with my life. God's law and precepts are perfect and just. EGW was a fantastic messenger for the Father in Heaven. I ask God to have mercy on me and change my heart and sole into that of Enoch. I pray that my choices will reflect the love that God has bestowed upon me. May God continue to bless us as He has so often in the past.

It's great to meet you. May God use this forum to further His perfect will in our lives as well as in those who visit it.

Thank you.
