It's hard to imagine such a debt - 600,000 times greater than you could earn in your lifetime. But there's good news for such a debtor as you or me. And it could take us into some surprising places.

When Mercy Grew on Trees

Solid Gold!
Critical thinking is a necessary survival skill today. So how does one prevent the skill of critiquing from crossing over into the sin of criticizing? And why did this matter so much to Jesus?A new view of the Sermon on the Mount from the pinnacle of a beatitude.
02/24/2007
The Two Word Prayer
It's heard mostly on the lips of the desperate and despairing. Too bad. Because while it's only sinners who plead for mercy, it's only for sinners that mercy pleads. A two word prayer that mercy can't resist. A new view of the Sermon on the Mount from the pinnacle of a beatitude.

How to Put a Smile on God's Face
Two powerful stories from the life of Jesus, and a personal testimony, produce a one-line message guaranteed to put a smile on God's face. It's heard mostly on the lips of the desperate and despairing. Too bad. Because while it's only sinners who plead for mercy, it's only for sinners that mercy pleads. A two word prayer that mercy can't resist.

Something More Important Than Truth
Could there be anything more important than truth? If Jesus has the last word the answer must be Yes!

A Severe Mercy
What does death taste like? Hemingway ventured a guess. In the language of the great story, the Bible describes it in vivid detail. There's no mistaking it now. It's a taste of severe mercy.

Whatever Happened to Justice?

Mercy Comes, Mercy Goes
Ever heard of geometric progression? How about the Great Commission? Could it be that geometric progression hold's the key to the fulfillment of the Great Commission? It's mercy on the run again. This time with a surprising twist.

Annual Sacrifice for Global Mission

Global Mission is the frontline mission arm of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Through the use of wholistic ministry, Global Mission pioneers are bringing light to cities of the world, with a special focus on the 10/40 Window. Since Global Mission began three decades ago, we’ve reached many new people groups and entered new countries. “I Will Go” is the strategic plan of the Adventist church for 2020-2025.

There are missionaries working right now in places like Sri Lanka, Malawi, Indonesia, Cambodia, and veiled countries where preaching the gospel is against the law. There are many mission challenges, because in some places where there is no Adventist presence, it takes about two years of sharing the love of Jesus with non-Christians who live in these areas before they open their hearts to Christ.

Please give sacrificially to support these missionaries and pray for these missionaries and their families. If you feel called to be a missionary there are many opportunities to work in unreached people groups. Visit vividfaith.com to explore missionary opportunities.

We invite you to GO! Go through prayer! Go through giving! Go through service!
