The Power of Resurrection Hope Jesus rose from the dead to show us that we can have new life. Revelation 21:5 says, “Behold, I make all things new.” This promise gives us hope that things can change for the better. For example, a Christian might start a food drive to help families who don’t have enough to eat. Because of this hope, we can help people who are hurting and share God’s love. We are walking in the power of... Read more

A Call to Live the Inseparable Bond   Today, our world faces problems like conflict, unfairness, and hate. However, we can still bring hope. This hope comes from God’s Word and the inseparable bond of peace, justice, and God’s character. Psalm 85:10 says, “Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed.” This shows that peace and justice work together like best friends. When we see someone treated unfairly, we must stand up for them and share God’s... Read more

The Power of God’s Deliverance

Last updated on: June 10, 2025 at 6:03 am   By Dr. David K. Ewen

Deliverance is a gift from God that brings freedom from sin and fear. When we turn to Him, He hears us and sets us free. As it says in Romans 6:6 (NKJV), “Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him.” This means that through Jesus, our old ways are gone. Now, we can live in new freedom and hope. Real-Life Example of Deliverance In 2018, a group of Adventists gathered in Michigan for prayer. They spent two days... Read more

These days, many people feel overwhelmed by news and social media. But we can find real peace in God’s promises. Philippians 4:6-7 says, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” This means we can talk to God about our worries. His peace will calm our minds, even when... Read more

God Wants Us to Shine for Justice God wants us to live in ways that show fairness and kindness to everyone. For example, Micah 6:8 (NKJV) says, “What does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?” This verse tells us that fairness is very important to God. Therefore, we should treat others the way we want to be treated. We can show kindness to our family, our friends,... Read more

God’s Plan for Leading the Church

Last updated on: May 29, 2025 at 12:22 pm   By Dr. David K. Ewen

0 Comments

Every church needs faithful leaders who follow God’s design for leadership. That is why there is God’s Plan for Leading the Church and that matters. The Bible clearly uses the words “elder,” “pastor,” and “overseer” to describe the same office of leadership. These words reveal the full picture of what God expects from His church leaders. Elders are not just decision-makers—they are spiritual shepherds who guide, teach, and care for God’s people. Understanding this helps churches follow Scripture and avoid... Read more

Do Not Worry About Tomorrow Jesus gives us a clear command in Matthew 6:34 (NKJV). He says, “Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things.” This means we should focus on today and not fear what might happen next. Each day brings its own problems, but also its own blessings. When we let go of fear, we can live fully now with God by your side, trusting Him with every step. Let God Lead Your... Read more

How God’s Word Calms Family Storms

Looking for Calm in a Busy World Family life can feel like a storm in today’s fast-moving world. But how God’s Word calms family storms becomes clear with faith. Families often rush through work, school, and chores, leaving little time for one another. Still, Psalm 46:1 reminds us, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” For example, when tempers flare at dinner, pausing to pray invites peace and the Holy Spirit to settle hearts.

Prayer Builds Strength to Say No  Every day brings new struggles with temptation. However, when we pray first, win later, God gives us strength. Prayer opens the door for God to help us fight sin. James 5:16 (NKJV) reminds us, “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” Therefore, when we feel anger, we should pray for peace and patience. As a result, God’s calmness replaces our frustration with kindness. God’s Word Protects Our Heart  We understand sin... Read more
