What Would You Do?

The more I think about it, the more I’m concluding the operative question isn’t—What would you do?—but rather—What would Jesus do?

For a few moments let’s leave the trials and tribulations of our nation and its government behind. After all, life much closer to home can be complicated enough, have you noticed?

Unbelievable!

That’s the word a friend texted me as the tragic turn of events in our nation’s capitol building unfolded on live television. What is there to say that hasn’t been said? Our hearts break for this land we love—no matter who we are or how we voted. 

Turns out NPR’s observation we are facing a dark winter, is truer than first thought. Yes, of course, the darkness that has spread over this land because of the still raging COVID-19 pandemic is terrible. Now add to it our hearts freshly broken—what is there to say that hasn’t been said?

Paul Petersen Presents Short Videos About Isaiah

The biblical book Isaiah will be the focus of a worldwide Sabbath School study by Seventh-day Adventists in the first quarter of 2021. Isaiah is often called the Gospel Prophet. Dr. Paul Petersen, former chair of the Religion and Biblical Languages Department and professor of the Hebrew Bible at Andrews University, will week by week introduce the chapters covered. Chapter 1 is the introduction to the whole book.

"I Done It for Love"

For this pandemic Christmas, I say let’s forget Covid-19 for a quiet moment. Enough is enough already. Instead, I invite you to sit back with me and let the joy and wonder of Jesus’ First Coming invade our souls. 

Thank You From Roberts Family

Dear Pioneer Family,

Thank you for your prayers, cards and concerns at the time of the passing of my (Ruth's) sister Marietta Deming in early November. Philip and I will go to Arizona this week to complete the tasks needs to prepare her home to be sold. Her home church will have a service for her when we are there. Thank you also for the cyclamen plant that Pastor Glass delivered when I was gone the first time. We look forward to the Golden Morning when Jesus will come.

–Ruth, Ray & Philip Roberts
