    23 One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain. 24 The Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?” 25 He answered, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need? 26 In the days of Abiathar the high priest, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions.”27 Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. 28 So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”…

    I must admit I was one of those people that liked to give excuses. I pointed to many of the objections that Fay speaks of in the book. After reading Share Jesus Without Fear, I can honestly say that I am without excuse. Because of the easy way in which Fay makes evangelism sound, one cannot help but to get excited about the prospect of going out and fulfilling the Great Commission. Knowing Fay’s background after reading his full testimony in the back of the book, he is the epitome of the…

    The fathers of the United States founded this nation on a principle of religious freedom, and it has since become the leading nation in peaceful pluralistic living. The United States Army is a direct reflection of this nation with respect to the pluralistic culture. Men and women of the United States have fought and died to secure this freedom, and as a chaplain, he or she must continue to do all to defend the fundamental right to free exercise of religion.

    Many events have happened through the years which have proved to me how important my family is to me. An event which helped me realize this was the death of my grandpa who lived in Ukraine where my family is originally from. The amount of times I had seen the man I could count on my fingers. This had taught me a very valuable lesson, to be as close with my elders as I can because they aren’t getting any younger. This opened up my eyes to a vast amount of information coming from those who had seen it all. I accredit much of my success to my family members who have provided much inspiration. The event which had influenced me the most had to be almost losing my only blood brother. He is my best friend and I am thankful every day that he is alive.…

    Why are so many different perceptions and less conception with the beliefs of Seventh day Adventist? I know that through this well and complex topic, I can teach the history of Seventh- day Adventist churches. Also, the evident differences between traditional denominations and the purpose as to what doctrine in Seventh day Adventist church wanted to separate from others. Seventh day Adventist is a member of a protestant sect that preaches the imminent return of Christ to Earth (originally expecting the second coming in 1844)and observes Saturday as the Sabbath. The Seventh day Adventist church had its roots in the Millerite movement of the 1830’s to the 1840’s during the period of the second Great Awakening, and was officially found in 1863.…

    Much can be said about the founding process of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and the involvement of youth in that process. Joseph Bates was often called “Father Bates” for a very good reason—he was the oldest, therefore a father figure, among those early pioneers. The others were literally all youth. James White was likely the second-oldest, being in his twenties, Ellen Gould Harmon (White) was a teenager, John Nevins Andrews a junior, John Loughborough a teen, Uriah and Anne Smith were both in their early twenties, and so on went the list. By the time the movement saw needs to institutionalize and become “a church,” a legal entity and not a hodgepodge of little organizations with quasi-legal representation, these young upstarts had become mature adults with a rapidly-growing following of young and old scattered across a continent and then around the globe. By force of time alone leadership transferred from young to old, and the young began to feel like tagalongs instead of on the cutting edge. James White recognized …
