The Goodness of God in the Last Days

Sabbath School Net Posted on April 7, 2026 by William EarnhardtApril 17, 2026avatar
Love scrabble tiles on book page

Several months ago, I had a “God moment,” which sent tingles down my spine. I was driving while my Pandora was playing Cece Winans’ “The Goodness of God.” In the middle of the song, a friend called, pausing it. He was talking about his work situation, which we had been praying over, and how God … Continue reading –>

On 31 October 1517, Martin Luther nailed the 95 Theses to the door of the Wittenberg church. Hence, 31 October has become known as Reformation Day. Regarding the Reformation, this is one of my favorite passages in Revelation, After these things, I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth … Continue reading –>

Are We Kinder Than God?

Sabbath School Net Posted on October 28, 2025 by Inge AndersonNovember 10, 2025avatar

Do you avoid the Old Testament because of the  violence which you cannot explain? I mean, the penalties for breaking the laws are really harsh!  So, dear readers, what do you think? Could we be kinder than God and come up with better results? I am purposely asking questions, rather than providing answers. Let’s think … Continue reading –>

Which Came First?

Sabbath School Net Posted on September 5, 2025 by Inge AndersonSeptember 11, 2025avatar
Promise of Deliverance

The question, “Which came first – the chicken or the egg?”  causes many to scratch their heads, but scientists have the answer: Scientific consensus states that the egg came first.  But if we believe the Bible to be factual, we know that the “scientists” are wrong, because the Bible tells us that the chicken came … Continue reading –>

Are the Ten Commandment *The* Law of God?

Sabbath School Net Posted on August 20, 2025 by Inge AndersonSeptember 2, 2025avatar

Seventh-day  Adventists  are known for defending the Law of God with vigor – sometimes to the extent of eclipsing the gospel and the grace of God. Perhaps it’s time to take a closer look at what we mean by the “Law of God.” Events in various countries have recently demonstrated that without laws that are … Continue reading –>

We Are Not Left Alone to Fight in the Cosmic Battle

Sabbath School Net Posted on February 25, 2025 by William EarnhardtMarch 3, 2025avatar

We are all in the midst of the cosmic battle. We are all wounded warriors struggling to survive and even thrive. The other day, to remind myself how everyone is fighting a battle against the adversary in this conflict, I walked into my local grocery store. However, this time I did something different. Instead of … Continue reading –>

Godly Passion and Jealousy

Sabbath School Net Posted on January 20, 2025 by William EarnhardtFebruary 5, 2025avatar

The Bible clearly teaches us not to be envious or jealous.  “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s. Genesis 20:17 NKJV  Now the works of the flesh are … Continue reading –>

Because of Love the Universe has a Purpose and You Have a Purpose

Sabbath School Net Posted on January 14, 2025 by William EarnhardtFebruary 5, 2025avatar

Satan’s biggest and most dangerous lie is that you are not loved. Everything hinges on this one Truth and that is that you are loved. If there is no love then there is no purpose not only for you but for the entire universe. This is why babies born prematurely need to be held. Love gives purpose to survive.

At a camp meeting 40 years later, I happened to see Dr. I. demonstrating some kind of health product, if I remember correctly. (In my mind, I see only the image of him, much older, but still looking much like he did when I was a student, with a friend by my side.) I lingered a little but did not introduce myself. I briefly wondered whether he recognized me. I’m fairly sure that I was as recognizable to him as he was to me.

Had he changed? Or did he still feel superior in his “humility”? Should I talk to him? I didn’t know how to approach him, and was busy with friends. I still don’t know whether I should have said something. (Maybe I’m just a coward.)

If God wants him to see my story, his and my identity are clear enough in this post, that God can direct him to it.
