God: Will v/s Permission
Competitive games like chess, tennis, dominoes are characterized by alternate plays that are made by opponents. Interestingly, while there could always be a dominant player who can often dictate many of the plays the opponent makes. That isn’t the case in every instance however – each player often gets a turn to make independent offensive plays to which the other(s) simply must respond (even the dominant player).

Portraits of God's Love
Perhaps the most well known and used text in the Bible is John 3:16; this portion of scripture emphasises the reason Christ laid down His life on Calvary for the salvation of the human family. John says that reason is love. “For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” It is this same John who helps us to understand why God can only act out of love in 1 John 4: 8 where he points out that God is Love. However, we cannot see God directly so He has painted several portraits of Himself: we see that portrait in the life of His son Christ Jesus, and that is why Christ said, when you see me, you see the Father; we see Him in his creation, that is why the Psalmist David says in Psalm 19 that “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament sheweth his handywork;” indeed, human beings have also been tasked with that responsibility – to show forth God’s love. This photographic review gives us a glimpse, a portrait of God’s love.

More than 60 percent of Seventh-day Adventists worldwide are women. Less than 40 percent of American Adventists study their Bible once a week.

Many individuals believe that they are healthy. But are they? Health is the term that is used to describe the absence from illness, injury, and pain. It is also the condition of an individual’s mind, body, and spirit.
