Lesson 2: Preparing a People

Some day I’d like to return Madrid, Spain.  I really would.  But right now, right now it’s no where in sight.  So, I’m not making any plans.  I’m not scoping out ticket prices.  I’m not figuring out where I’m going to stay.  No bags are being packed.  I wonder if this lesson resonates with the [...]

Lesson 12: John’s Letter to the Chosen Lady

The relationship between truth and love seems to be something most of us miss in practice.  When you really think about it though, can you have one without the other?  Can you be a doctrine-abiding Christian SDA without love?  Can you love without knowing the truth?

Lesson 10: Confidence

Lesson 6: Sin

I just looked in the mirror and realized that for every sin I committed this week, there’s probably a visible manifestation on my face.  I had a really trying week and worry consumed me taking me from one stupid decision to the next, until Friday I just felt as though I was drowning in a [...]

Lesson 2: Faith

As most of you will probably see, I haven’t written for the site in a while. I could sit here and blame it on work or school, I could sit here and blame it on others besides myself, but in all truthfulness, I would be lying. The very topic this lesson addresses is the [...]

Lesson 1: Love

The greatest of all commandments is love. Love your neighbor as you love yourself and above all, love the Lord your God, That’s the commandment given to us by Jesus. Why is it that the world today has indistinct meaning of love? We all hunger for love from the day we are brought to this [...]
