Are You Praying For Our Leaders, Or … ?

Sabbath School Net Posted on June 21, 2018 by William EarnhardtAugust 5, 2018avatar

And at the end of the time I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me; and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever: Daniel 4:34 NKJV I don’t know how it is around the world, but here in the last days in the United … Continue reading –>

The Radical Politics of Our First GC President, John Byington

Sabbath School Net Posted on April 15, 2015 by Brian StrayerSeptember 7, 2018Brian Strayer
John Byington photo

Probably the image most Adventists have of Elder John Byington is based on the only photograph they’ve ever seen which portrays the aged patriarch as a silver-haired, balding, bearded, wrinkled, scowling preacher in a black frockcoat and white shirt buttoned tightly around the neck. Consequently, they might be surprised to learn that he was a … Continue reading –>

The Jesus No One Wants to Talk About

Sabbath School Net Posted on January 11, 2015 by Curtis HallJanuary 21, 2015avatar
Jesus alone

We like Jesus. For some that’s too mild of a statement. We love Jesus. We especially love the Jesus who steps in on time, the One who comes to our rescue. We love that Jesus so much we even write songs about Him. Jesus on the main line tell Him what you want… Nothing compares … Continue reading –>

Jesus for President

Sabbath School Net Posted on November 5, 2012 by Jennifer SchwirzerJuly 18, 2013avatar

Shane Claiborne’s clever book title says it all. But Jesus tried that. He was President, King, and Head of State of Israel from the time of the Exodusuntil the Babylonian captivity. And in spite of His power and perfection, His presidential experiment failed. Sadly, Israel and Judah so totally rebelled against Him that He ultimately … 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.
