I’m enjoying a relaxing Sabbath afternoon. For the last month or so, I have had various responsibilities to tend to in addition to teaching the young adult Sabbath School class, such as leading the praise team during the service, attending a fellowship meal after the service, or something with the youth department.

Happy Sabbath and may the blessings of the Lord be upon you! It is day two of my shampoo-free experiment, and I must say that my hair looks absolutely normal today. I did a water rinse today in the shower and massaged the scalp to dislodge any dirt and oil build up that might have been there. Being the Sabbath, I did my hair the usual way: blow- ( Read more... )

Seventh-day Adventists have been ridiculed since our humble beginnings in 1844 over many of our beliefs, unpopular among Christendom though founded on the clear Word of God, and among the most highly criticized have been our warnings against the coming "Sunday law", or legislation that makes Sunday a national (and universal) day of rest.
