Gethsemane
Jesus almost lost the human race in Gethsemane. His friends’ brutal treatment was an added Gethsemane punishment Jesus did not need. He needed intercessory prayers. All He got was rejection, snoring, and cowardice. Would you consider helping someone overcome his or her Gethsemane this week through significant intercessory prayer and a ministry of presence?

True Riches
Jesus described a man preparing for a traditional American retirement. Then He called the man a fool. What choices, in that moment of retirement, would Jesus have commended? Here is another version of the question. Fill in the blank. Luke 12:16 VHQ Very Hard Questions Version Luke 12:16 And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17 He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’ 18 _________19And…

Unlikely Heroism
Moviegoers for the first time are learning something about Seventh-day Adventists. They are learning that Adventists refuse to kill. So Perhaps its time we review our position. Conscientious objection has typically been the Adventist position. This approach comes in between pacifism and full participation. Adventists have always considered this to be a matter of personal conscience. What would you consider yourself to be? Consider that the use of violence muddies the waters on the conflict between good and evil. Today…
Father Abraham’s Sons
Muslims, Jews, and Christians have a legitimate claim to be Father Abraham’s sons and daughters. While it is a wonderful blessing to hold common genes and traditions with Father Abraham, it is a spiritual life of faith, submission, and action which qualifies us to claim that we are Father Abraham’s sons and daughters. The Arabic word Muslims use to describe this quality is “Hanif.” Look for an incredible mission story in the conclusion about why a Muslim ruler changed a…
