Historia de V. Michelle Bernard

Este verano, Emmanuel Asiedu, tesorero de la Unión de Columbia, y su esposa, Annette, organizaron seminarios de evangelización y salud en Kumasi, Ghana, que dieron como resultado 10 bautismos, 50 estudios bíblicos y muchas respuestas a las oraciones.

Antes de que comenzaran las reuniones en la iglesia de Atwima Maakro, los Asiedus oraron para que Dios contuviera la lluvia que siempre llega en esta época del año, algo que hace que los caminos no sean navegables. “Nunca experimentamos lluvia”, informa Asiedu. “Llovió en la siguiente ciudad, pero no en nuestra ciudad, lo que permitió que la gente asistiera a las reuniones”.

Después de la última reunión, empezó a llover.

¿Podría la reciente decisión de la Corte Suprema a favor de las organizaciones benéficas católicas que se niegan a adoptar niños de familias homosexuales afectar los derechos civiles de la Iglesia Adventista del Séptimo Día? Recientemente, nos sentamos con la vicepresidenta y asesora legal general de la Union de Columbia, Lisa Saveikis Burrow, y otros expertos legales para aprender más sobre este y los próximos casos que podrían afectar la libertad religiosa.

Más muy pronto.

WGBZ 88.3, la nueva señal de radio cristiana de WGTS, salió al aire este verano gracias a las generosas donaciones de los oyentes que querían ayudar a alcanzar la costa este de Maryland con el mensaje de esperanza y plenitud de Cristo.

“When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you” (Isa. 43:2, NLT).

I like this verse a lot because it reminds me that, no matter what happens, God is with me. There have been times when I have struggled with things such as math or science. But I have always gotten through these classes, thanks to my parents and God.

“God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day” (Ps. 46:5, NIV).

Today, I feel stressed, alone and overwhelmed. I am missing my class, our memories together and all of our missed opportunities. I feel like I don’t have enough time to get my schoolwork done, and I feel like quitting. However, this verse reminds me that I am not alone. God is with me, and He will help me today and tomorrow. With Him, I will not fail.

Seventh-day Adventists have long valued the concept of educating our young people to be the army of youth empowered to hasten the second coming of Jesus. From the earliest years of our church’s history, we have understood the importance of opening schools to educate our children for service in proclaiming the gospel message.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and depart from evil” (Prov. 3:5–7, NKJV).

This was a verse I loved while I was growing up, however it took me a few years to actually understand it. Some people read it and say, “Oh, it’s just such a complicated passage.” But it really isn’t. The verses hold one message: His way or yours? In other words, do you trust Him?

Amadeo Molnár, one of my favorite church history teachers, once said, “The history of the Christian Church is the history of the interpretation of the Bible.” Unfortunately, many modern problems arise from the misinterpretation of God’s Word. Divisions were created and wars fought because of certain dogmas; millions were tortured, killed or enslaved due to specific ideologies and wrong belief systems by believers. So many atrocities were committed in the name of God. And over the years, the Bible has also been used to justify racism.
