Unity, Identity, and MISSION!!! YES! I believe it is Mission, our God-given Mission, that empowers our Unity and reinforces our Identity. It is when we lose sight of MISSION that we begin to struggle with Unity and Identity. We must always be about our Father's Business!!
Our past holds the keys to our future. When we look back on the remarkable journey of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, we find inspiration and lessons that shape our path ahead. Unity, identity, and mission have been the driving forces behind our growth and impact. As we embrace

So thankful for my @HagerstownSDA church family. Worshiping with them, growing with them, seeing my kids involved each Sabbath.This is why Hebrews 10:25 encourages us to still assemble together. We realize we are one when we come together as one. It's the highlight of my week.

#SabbathUnplugged Today, Sabbath, I put my phone in a drawer and spent 24 hours with my family and my God. Worshiping at Church, family time, Bible reading. What an incredible day. I have discovered that my phone was stealing the joy of the Sabbath. Let's Unplug every Sabbath!

HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN - 2 Samuel 1:25 I’m still here in Malaysia meeting with leaders of the church. I was so deeply sorry to wake up and hear about Charlie Kirk's violent death. So young! I was invited to participate in a program with him last year but could not attend

@RTStephensonGC That’s a powerful statement, and it’s right on target. The world is groaning, and nothing will be the same after this. The Bible warned that the last days would be marked by cold hearts and hatred on full display (Matthew 24:12). Yesterday, we saw it unfold, on realtime! The

By seeking to erase God's Law, the enemy is really seeking to erase God. This is really no surprise. We know that God's Law is the transcript of His Character. The Law does not save us, but it reveals a God who is desperately pursuing us and passionately loving us.

83 years later. This could not be more true. Anything to distract us from realizing our urgent need for Jesus.
The amazing CS Lewis predicted what social media will do to people.

The worst thing: The crucifixion (We killed God.) The best thing: The Cross (God saved us.) The worst thing and the best thing are the same thing. Now, apply God's redemptive power to the worst thing in your life and wait. He will call you out of the tomb.

Had a really tough day today. A colleague of mine sent me this note. This encouraged me. God is so good. So faithful. Isaiah 40:28-31 “He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might He increases strength.” The promise isn’t that God removes weariness, but that He
