Introduction to Sexual Morality Sexual morality is a concept that goes beyond physical actions, touching on our choices, thoughts, and the way we understand God’s plan for relationships and intimacy.

Church Hurt: Recognizing, Healing, and Growing
“Church hurt” is a phrase familiar to those who have experienced pain, disappointment, or betrayal within their church family. It’s a pain unlike many others because it often comes from those we expect to love and support us most. I faced this kind of hurt.

By the grace of God, I chose the former. This article is for anyone wrestling with similar feelings. What is Church Hurt? Church hurt […]
Pride: The Great Sin
Introduction: What Is Pride? One New Year’s Sabbath, we were asked to write down prayer requests for the year. What we’d like God to do for us that year. I sat there, wondering, “Now what do I write?” Then one request came to mind: “Lord, make me humble.” It felt like such a bold and rather unique thing to ask. Not health, not financial success—just humility. I scribbled the words down, folded the paper, and placed it in the prayer box, not realizing then what that prayer would cost me.

Effects of Random Acts of Kindness
Effects of Random Acts of Kindness Have you ever experienced a random act of kindness from a stranger? One day, I was driving along a busy highway, surrounded by large trucks and fast-moving cars.

Words can be great or they can degrade, or even worse, they can teach hate
One Saturday afternoon, right after the Sabbath service, I caught up with a friend. We exchanged the usual pleasantries: “How was your week?” “Has God been good to you?” It was nothing unusual, just a peaceful moment between friends. As we chatted, another friend—someone I’ve known for quite some time and hold close—walked by. We smiled, exchanged quick greetings, and they continued on their way. But as soon as they were out of sight, the friend I was with leaned in, lowering their voice. “You know what they’ve been up to, right?” they said, their words dripping with insinuation. For […]

How do you know your sins are forgiven?
You have sinned and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23). Condemned by inherited sin, imputed sin, and personal sin1, you fear facing both physical and eternal death. Guilt has engulfed you and now you yearn to be in harmony with God. You want your conscience to be clear and to have that peace that surpasses all understanding to guide your heart and mind in Jesus Christ. (Philippians 4:6) You cannot by your own efforts obtain this peace. You cannot purchase it. It’s such a relief that God offers us this peace as a gift. He invites us […]
