A New Year of Contagion
What do you want Jesus to do for you? If He is willing to do it, what could be more important than asking, and trusting?
01/12/2002
The Contagious Adventist
What does it mean to be contagious? What does it mean for God's trusting children, His friends, to be contagious? Are you contagious?
01/19/2002
First Things First
Being Seventh-day Adventists distinguishes us from the rest of the Christian world. But we are first Christians, then Seventh-day Adventists. In sharing our Adventist faith, we should always put first things first.
01/26/2002
Seventh Things Second
Our most distinguishing characteristic is built right into our name: Seventh-day Adventists. What relationship does the seventh day have to our devotion to Jesus as our Lord? How does it enhance that devotion and make it contagious?

A Song from the Inferno
02/23/2002

The Ghosts of Easters Past
Nothing is more certain about life in this world than that it will end. But Easter says the end of our lives here is not the end of the story. The Contagious Adventist view of death and beyond.
04/20/2002
Follow the Finger
The mission of Christ is the mission of Seventh-day Adventists. But before grace can be shared contagiously, it must first be experienced. Are you experiencing it?

Pioneer Operating Budget

The first Sabbath of the New Year is an opportunity to press the reset button of our lives, goals, and relationship with God.

If you keep a prayer journal, take it out sometime today and reflect on how God has led in your life and your family’s life. During this self-evaluation, ask God what changes you need to make for the coming year. Then pray for the Holy Spirit to give you strength to transform each area of your life that needs a fix. Jesus emphasized the great principle of life when He said, “But seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” (Matthew 6:33, NKJV).

The key word is FIRST. Many people seek the kingdom of God, but they allow the cares of this life to dominate and consume them so they don’t have anything left to give to God. Let’s put Christ and His kingdom first. Jesus didn’t say not to ask for other things such as happiness, security, success, or even money.

When God comes first, He will reorder our lives and show His power by blessing us in all ways according to His purpose. Sometimes He may even bless us through trials. Let’s ask God to empty us of self and fill us with the Holy Spirit each day of this year so we can do what He wants us to. North American Division Stewardship Ministries
