Does Jesus Leave Us When We Make Mistakes?

Sabbath School Net Posted on February 18, 2025 by William EarnhardtFebruary 25, 2025avatar

In a strange place with no money, without any close friends and a job that was not going to pay enough to cover my living expenses, I thought I had made a huge mistake. Did Jesus leave me?

And How Shall They Believe?

Making friends for God

Are you “wall flower” – someone who at social gatherings spends most of their time standing and watching, rather than participating? Or are you a “lurker” – someone who visits Facebook or other social media and just reads what everybody is saying but don’t contribute to the discussion? Some of us, for good or bad, … Continue reading –>

Why Worshiping God Is a Choice and Not an Addiction

Sabbath School Net Posted on May 10, 2023 by William EarnhardtMay 15, 2023avatar
Mystery Bible

Those who worship false gods turn their backs on all God’s mercies. Jonah 2:8 NLT Over the last 30 years of studying the Bible with people, I have had a few conversations that have have gone like this. Friend: I am so bored right now. I wish there were something to do, anything! I am … Continue reading –>

Strength in Times of Crisis

Sabbath School Net Posted on March 20, 2020 by Lars JustinenJune 10, 2020avatar

After having dropped out of college in my freshman year with a mysterious flu-like sickness, I struggled in US hospitals in Washington State for three months with various diagnoses that all turned out to be wrong. Finally at the end of May, 1975, I returned to Victoria, BC, where our family physician put me in … Continue reading –>

God’s Love Wins…Again

Sabbath School Net Posted on March 30, 2016 by Jeffrey CarlJanuary 8, 2025avatar

Raised in the 1960’s and 70’s in a rather typical Seventh-day Adventist home, my five siblings and I were left to picture God as old, cold, and hard. We learned about John 3:16 and that was great, but what always came through to me at the end was that I was bad, I needed to … Continue reading –>

My Tribute to Rodney, My First Black Friend

Sabbath School Net Posted on February 16, 2015 by William EarnhardtJune 16, 2016avatar

As the United States celebrates Black History month, I was thinking of my first black friend. While the phrase “My first black friend” probably sounds silly to a child of today, when I was a young kid in 1970 we lived in a white neighborhood in Tulsa, the city famous for the Race Riot of 1921. … Continue reading –>

A Bottle of Oil

Adult Holding Child's Hand

It was November, 1966. My husband was in the Army and I was at home with our young son. Our second child was due in January. The princely sum of $183.10 a month (the Army allotment for dependents) didn’t go very far. First, I would lay aside the tithe, then the house payment of $64. … Continue reading –>

My Shortest Prayer

Sabbath School Net Posted on August 10, 2013 by Tommie BurchardNovember 21, 2014avatar

Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear. Isaiah 65:24, NIV It was a dreary day. The rain had come down in a drizzle that wet everything but didn’t clean it. The country roads were slick and dangerous. We were returning from visiting relatives one Sabbath afternoon. My stepfather … Continue reading –>

20 Things I’ve Learned in 20 Years of Bible Work

Sabbath School Net Posted on June 19, 2013 by William EarnhardtNovember 25, 2013avatar

While I became a literature evangelist in 1990, it just occurred to me, that it has now been 20 years since I first became a Bible Worker in the Owasso-Claremore district of the Oklahoma Seventh-day Adventist Conference in 1993. A lot of water has passed under the bridge and through the baptisteries since then, and over time I would like to share some … Continue reading –>
