Saying yes: becoming a missionary the unexpected way

Sinister or saintly: is empathy a sin?

Is ordination biblical?
The issue of women's ordination has become a wedge issue in the Adventist Church, polarising communities and dividing "conservative' and "liberal" Adventists.

It's one of those concepts that some people in the Church are super passionate about, something that is assumed knowledge, almost like a secret code. It makes other people uncomfortable.

Connecting with God: Easy or hard?
For many people, connecting with God feels easy. But for others, it’s much more complicated. How do I connect with someone who I can’t see or hear? Why don’t I feel His presence?
