For the Seeker

By: Gabriela Yareliz The city was bustling with visitors from all over; it was Passover time. The priests had arrested Jesus, and wanted to “get rid of Him” in the most discrete manner, while the people were preoccupied with Passover.

Self-denial

From Ellen G. White’s Testimonies for the Church, vol. 1. Chapter 30, The Rich Young Ruler “I was shown that the young, especially young men, who profess the truth, have yet a lesson of self-denial to learn.

Mixing error with truth

By: Gabriela Yareliz People mixing truth with error is in style these days, and it has its roots from bad leadership from centuries before. People basing interpretation of religion and scripture based on feeling, opinion, convenience and tradition. Very few people have a Biblical basis of why it is they believe certain things.
