A worldview comprises a set of assumptions that influence how people view the world and how they answer the important ques­tions of life, such as where did we come from, how should we live, and where are we going? Everyone…

There is no congregation of Seventh-day Adventists in North America or elsewhere wnose officers or membership would deliber­ately deprive the denomination of its funds, or misappropriate contributions by dipping into mission moneys. On the…

The first lecture of an evangelistic series is the spearhead of the campaign. The title of this opening lecture, carefully and prominently placed in all advertisements, is the tip of the spearhead. For this reason it is difficult to exaggerate…

John the revelator speaks of that other angel who is seen lightening the earth with his glory. Seventh-day Adventists have long por­trayed the force and might of this messenger, commissioned by Heaven to go forth at a special time of earth's…

To many people the term scientific creationism seems self-contradictory. How can creation, which by definition involves supernatural phenomena, be scientific? The seeming contradiction disappears if we approach the study of origins…

Such fields of science as physiology have few disputes with religion. They either complement the Bible or deal with subject matter that is not discussed in the Bible. But in fields like paleontology, geology, and…

A literal interpretation of Genesis 1 affirms a personal God who created our earth and life on it in six consecutive 24-hour days. In this account, we find God acting much like a father who loves his children and…
