Eternity's Edge: New Visions for an Aging Movement: the Prequel
We have no king but Caesar!" Strange words coming from the mouths of religious people who hated Rome. A demonically inspired collusion, a marriage of convenience to get their bloody task completed. Could it be that we too make such collusions to serve our own ends?

Where in the World Is Elijah?
Old Story. Powerfully new application. Same bottom line. You decide.

The Tri-lateral Conspiracy
A lone defender of God's honor and truth stood up against an ancient tri-lateral alliance that threatened his life. The same players are all in place for the final showdown just before the return of Jesus. Where are you among them?

Prelude to Persecution
Think persecution is a thing of the past: Bible times, early church, Dark Ages, etc.,not the present or the future? Think again! But then, why don't we experience it more today? The Bible's answer is clear, disturbing, hopeful.

When God's Last Question Becomes Our First
Technological advances are conquering outer space and cyber space. But there's one last, great frontier to be conquered for God. And it will be conquered . . . when God's last question becomes our first.

Will We Speak Chinese in Heaven?
"How long will you go limping?" Aging movements do that, don't they? And yet the Elijah movement in the end will be a race through earth's final storm. The Elijah secret is in the seven-fold prayer.

"'It Was the Best of Times, It Was the Worst of Times'" (The Unrelenting Query: Who Will Roll the Stone Away)
Dickens' statement sets up this classic reflection on Easter. How is it possible to hold the opposites of death and faith, despair and hope in the same heart?

The Magic Kingdom
What causes you to jump for joy or sends you into a pit of despair? The answer, divinely etched into human nature, also provided the antidote to depression. Imagine, if you dare, the Magic Kingdom!

Some Final Reflections on Bode Miller and the Andrews Edge
Level 5 (top rung) leaders, not only in top companies and families on earth but also in the divine economy in heaven, have a common, counter-intuitive characteristic. Do you possess it?

The Truth of the Missing Sapphire
What's the meaning of a color? Lots if it's God's color, the color of His throne. Knowing that color helps solve one of the greatest mysteries of the Bible.

Adventist Community Services

People come in all shapes and sizes, and so do their needs. Adventist Community Services offers diverse services tailored to fit the needs of the vulnerable in their community.

David walked into Joseph’s Storehouse Food Pantry, an ACS center in Oklahoma. The staff soon learned that he had recently been released from prison and was saving money to rent an apartment. At the time, he was living in a tent near a creek just outside of town and had no way to cook. David chose food that was ready to eat out of the package.

Realizing that more was needed, a volunteer invited him back the next day to pick up cooking items. The volunteer went shopping for items they didn’t already have at the center and soon, David received a small cook stove, fuel, can opener, and cookware when he returned. ACS continues to assist David with food when he runs low, and prays for his safety and for God’s continued presence.

Whether giving food and cooking gear, dental care, clothing, after school tutoring, or English language skills, your ACS offering paves a pathway forward for somebody in need.

Ellen White shared, “The Savior mingled with men as one who desired their good. He showed His sympathy for them, ministered to their needs, and won their confidence. Then He bade them, ‘Follow Me’” (Ministry of Healing, p. 143).

Adventist Community Service’s ministries mingle in our communities, bringing Jesus’ goodwill to the people. Join us and become the practical hands and feet of God in our world.
