Getting Back To The Heart Of Adventism
$4.37
If the first thought of the delegates to the General Conference session of 1903 had been money, none of us would be Seventh-day Adventists today.
The church faced a grave financial crisis from 1901-1903. The debt was astounding. Financially the church was on the brink of bankruptcy and its flagship institutions lay in a crumpled heap of ashes.
For the first two days the General Conference delegates reviewed, discussed and re-committed themselves to the mission of the church. They understood that focusing on their special mission-the proclamation of the Three Angels’ Message-was vital to their survival. It is vital to ours as well.
Each of us has a part to play. We must resist the two dangers facing us: complacency and worldly-mindedness on the one hand, and compromise and syncretism on the other.
The proclamation of the third angel’s message is at the heart of who we are and why we are here. Our Lord has promised to return.

John Chrysostom : The Preacher In The Emperor’s Court
$11.99Add to cartThere was something about John Chrysostom and the words he spoke that lit up his world.
He was an important leader of the early church, known so much for his preaching and public speaking that he was given the nickname Golden Mouth. He spoke his mind and followed his convictions. He refused to host the lavish social gatherings that his predecessors had laid on. This meant that John Chrysostom really annoyed the wealthy citizens of Constantinople. He spoke out against how many influential Christians cared little for the poor.“It is madness to fill your cupboards with clothing while other human beings stand naked and trembling with the cold so that they can hardly hold themselves upright.”
It didn’t matter if you were rich or poor John spoke the truth – emphatically. Even the empress fell under his criticism which eventually led to his exile and death.
