The next requirement of those who are living during the Day of Atonement according to Leviticus 23:27 is to “offer an offering.” There was an offering that was offered on behalf of the people on the Day of Atonement.
There’s something that I do want to emphasize right now— that the Day of [...]
You may have heard that we are living in the Antitypical Day of Atonement, but what difference does that make?
How are we exepected to live during this time frame?
Join Elder Cox as he applies the requirements of the congregation during the ancient Day of Atonement service to those of us who [...]
The people of God were required to refrain from work (have a Sabbath) while the priest was performing his duties in the Sanctuary on the Day of Atonement. This command is found at Leviticus 16:29, 31, Leviticus 23:28, 30, 31. Just like on the 7th day Sabbath, the people of God were [...]
What difference does the sanctuary make for our daily living? Often the question is asked, “Is it True?” However, this question of relevance is often the unasked (and sometimes asked) question. In the next series of posts, I want to look at the question from the standpoint of what the Day of [...]
OK, it took a while, but I finally viewed, read, and listened to the address by our new General Conference President Ted Wilson. (I would have liked to have been there, but my second child was born the night before the presentation) I must admit that I read a lot of what people [...]
Dr. Calvin Rock wrote about the content and purpose of Adventist Preaching in his influential Ministry Article of September 2000 entitled “Black SDA Preaching Betwixt and Between.” We have looked at that article periodically on the website and will look at it again. This time we look at it for his definition of [...]
Ellen White makes an interesting statement on page 85 of the book Counsels to Writers and Editors. In it she says: “It is the duty of all who can write, especially those who minister in holy things, to exercise their talents in this direction.”
Here Sister White encourages all to write if God has given [...]
I recently heard a preacher preach about a common phenomenon in all of Christiandom, the church hopper.
What is a church hopper? It is one who simply moves from church to church following the next big “high.” When a new exciting pastor comes to town, they go join it. We often see this [...]
New General Conference president Ted N. C. Wilson will address the world church this sabbath in perhaps his most listened to sermon to date. This has been an interesting election for a number of reasons. I hear some jubilant voices who have almost a “we won” tone.
Then there are those who [...]
This union of churches idea is interesting to me. It appears as though it simply eliminates the conference level and with it a lot of expense. There definitely seems to be an upside with what looks like a lot of cost savings.
However, I wonder about the ramifications of such a move. Will [...]
