Our Infallible Bible
G. Burnside
Our God loves us and He has given us a dependable compass. That compass is the Bible. As the compass shows the way to the confused traveler, so the Word of God shows to life's travelers the way to heaven, to life, to a life akin to God. . .

Theodore Carcich
Under the circumstances, what do we do? Shall we retreat and abandon the big cities because of their inherent complexities and challenges?

THE scene is the celestial courtroom. The time is postmillennial. The defendants are the lost of all ages—Satan's crop of tares. Among them are some Seventh-day Adventist preachers. One of them could be you or me. . .

David Dobias
Medical evangelism and gospel evangelism were united into a close team working together in a Field School of Evangelism held in Musoma, a small town on the banks of Lake Victoria in Tanzania. Each evening it was necessary to have two sessions to accommodate the crowds who were attending our meetings in the local cinema.

Kenneth H. Livesay
All of us agree that the value of personal ministry is immeasurable. However, the personal work of a minister can be multiplied through the group or class plan of Bible study. The Bible class can be conducted by ministers, professional men, church leaders, young people, and laymen of all walks of life. . .

Linda Gage
Most important in the success of prayer groups is prayer. Since each prayer group is God's plan, we are dependent upon Him for its beginning and its continuance. Pray earnestly that the hearts of your people will be ready for a prayer group or groups.

T. Gunston
"The church is God's appointed agency for the salvation of men. It was organized for service, and its mission is to carry the gospel to the world."—The Acts of the Apostles, p. 9. Here, then, is the great criterion for judging whether we as a church are succeeding. If the church is to succeed in this mission, the ministry must include every one of its members.

Russel T. Hitt
Other observers feel that the Christianization of the Western world was not as complete or as deep as many have believed. While the Church banned pagan religion and magic, many of the common people and clergy, too, have retained faith in it through the centuries. . .

W. M. Landeen
Every religious reform movement in history has been accompanied by great preaching. We could say that the history of divine confrontation of sinful man in the historical process centers in the periodic appearance of mighty preachers. From the days of Noah, the preacher of righteousness, to our own times, God has seen fit to let His reform movements be born out of great preaching.

Jose A. Fuentes
How many persons have been treated for physical sicknesses and have died without reacting when the visit of a well-qualified minister may have discovered that a spiritual problem was the basis of the trouble. Nevertheless, while man takes pride in having conquered space, he is still an infant in relation to the greatest of all conquests, that of knowing himself.

Linda Gage
HER face was pale and her hands trembled as she held the telephone. "Are you sure?" she breathed. Then suddenly courage came back to her voice, "Listen, Shirley. I'm leaving in a little while for my prayer group. I won't do anything until after that. . ."
