Overcoming Sexual Sin When you are Single

Sabbath School Net Posted on November 15, 2017 by William EarnhardtMarch 12, 2018avatar

I have talked to more than one single Christian, who told me, “When I promised God I would wait until I was married, I figured I would be married by now.” Other singles, even in the church, seem to think no sex before marriage just means no sex while you are a teenager. Age isn’t … Continue reading –>

Loving One Another in Purity

Sabbath School Net Posted on May 13, 2016 by Jennifer SchwirzerOctober 27, 2016avatar

Relationships in the Family of God The Bible uses several analogies for the church—a body, a building, a flock, and even a brood of chickens. My personal favorite, being somewhat of a human development and relationship expert, is family. The Lord tells us, “I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My … Continue reading –>

Modern Technology is no Match for Old Fashioned Intimacy

Sabbath School Net Posted on April 7, 2015 by William EarnhardtJuly 9, 2024avatar

Way back in the late 1990’s, before android devices, I was working for a delivery company, and would sometimes find myself in someone’s office waiting for them to get a package ready. To kill time I would play a little game on my cell phone. I remember thinking to myself, If they can put a game … Continue reading –>

Living Holy Single Lives

Sabbath School Net Posted on August 15, 2012 by William EarnhardtSeptember 9, 2013avatar

I don’t usually make a big deal either way about being single. I don’t think of myself as a single person, I just think of myself as a person. While I have heard other single people complain about married people treating them differently, I can only count on one hand the number of married people … Continue reading –>

The Sabbath and the Marriage Bed

Sabbath School Net Posted on September 7, 2011 by Andrew S. Baker (ASB)April 22, 2015avatar

One of the most popular questions that is posed concerning Sabbath observance is whether or not it is proper for a husband and wife to engage in sexual relations during the Sabbath hours. This question was raised in response to a posting I made on the significance of the Sabbath. Although the Bible doesn’t answer … Continue reading –>

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.
