Another new year. How quickly the years come and go. Each arrives, bright with promise and hope, fraught with dangers and fears. One by one the sheets of the new calendar are quickly torn off, the new year is old and another is on its way. . .

Heaven's Auditing Committee

Ellen G. White

It is important that those who engage in the work of God be constant learners in the school of Christ. Indeed, this is absolutely necessary if they would labor with acceptance in the great, the solemn work of presenting the truth to the world. If self is kept out of sight, and the workers labor with humility and wisdom, a sweet spirit of harmony will exist among them. . .

Plateau Performance

D. A. McAdams

Determination is dynamic. It keeps a worker away from plateau performance and prods him constantly to strive for greater efficiently that results in a greater soul-winning program. The dynamics of leadership (a preacher is a leader) are built around determination. . .

A Walk With The King

Paul M. Matacio

THERE are times when man is intensely motivated in a search for personal glory. The acclaim and plaudits of our fellow men are never hard to take. Yet, the Christian minister is never motivated thereby. He is conscious of the fact that his purpose is not to be an object of glory, but in reality a subject who has an object to glorify, and that object must be his Lord. . .

The Foolishness of Preaching

Vincent Tigno, Jr.

THE preacher determines to a large degree whether preaching is dubbed as "foolishness" or is acclaimed as "the voice of God." It is indeed the height of folly to take one hour of someone's time on a Saturday morning and waste it on clerical vocalization. . .

Fragments of Time

Enoch Oliveira

For many years, the railroad that unites the cities of New York and Buffalo went around a large, deep valley known as the Tunkhannock Vally. Studying the possibilities of lessening the distance, the directors of the undertaking, counseled by a group of engineers, decided to construct a gigantic viaduct through the valley that would cost twelve million dollars. . .

The Local Church Elder and MISSION '72

Orley M. Berg

THE year of MISSION '72 is now upon us. Never in the history of the Seventh-day Adventist Church has so much time, planning, and praying gone into a single program or project. MISSION '72 represents an evangelistic thrust far beyond anything ever before attempted. It is intended to bring to the attention of millions the glorious good news that we have a Saviour who once died for our sins and who is soon to return in glory.

Are You Walking in the Footsteps of Enoch?

R. D. Spear

What a wonderful life! Just think, walking with God, not just for a day or a week or a year, but for three hundred years! How many Christians are able to walk with God even for an hour? You may say, "Things were different in those days. Enoch was not surrounded by worldliness and temptations as we are." But God's messenger tells us. . .

Our Millennial Heritage

N. Gordon Thomas

SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS should be proud of their millennial beliefs. The second advent of Christ and the coming millennium have been the hope of Christians throughout the hundreds of years since Jesus promised that He would come again. Since this promise is sure, Adventist believers need not be ashamed to accept the heritage of our faith from the great Disappointment of the Millerites in 1844. . .

How to Construct Your Own Rainbow (Part I)

Miriam Wood

THROUGHOUT my life I have been fascinated by rainbows. Having observed these brilliant arches in the skies of such disparate areas as the desert State of Utah, the exotic island of Bali, the mysterious land of New Guinea, to say nothing of my own Maryland home, I always feel a lift to my spirits when I see a rainbow. . .
