Who Authorized This Ministry?

Who Authorized This Ministry?

The other day someone called the phone line for Sabbath Pulpit Ministries with an interesting question. It was a Seventh-day Adventist woman who wanted to know who authorized the website. She wanted to know if I had had proper permission to publish to the web from some denominational or ecclesial body. When I told her that my authorization comes solely from Jesus Christ’s command to “go ye therefore,” I could tell that the ministry had lost credibility in her eyes.

Laughing at God

Laughing at God

When Abraham was told about he and Sarah having a child, he fell down and laughed. (Gen 17:15-17). He laughed. Sarah laughed as well according to Gen 18:11-12. They both laughed at God because both were advanced in years. They were well past the child bearing age. However, the promise that was given to them was not based in their ability to fulfill the promise. The promise was based in the ability of the one giving the promise to fulfill the promise.
