Strong Backs
I heard a great sermon in church a few weeks ago. A sermon just for me, about having a strong back. You’ve heard about my new life as a sufferer of back issues in this magazine before. At the time, I thought the episode was a “one and done” type of thing. I was wrong. Over the past seven months I have had two more flare-ups, resulting in an MRI that revealed I am now the proud owner of a herniated disc.

Try Not to Fall Like Mama Did
Back in the days of my boyhood my mother fell into a hole that was left open by a utility company that was in the process of doing some upgrading work. It happened while she was on her way to a church service. And as you may have guessed by now, it was during the night and she had no light to enhance her visibility.

Is it better to die with hope, or to live without it? Job in the depth of his conviction is resolute on saying his piece - even if it kills him; "Then let come on me what may," (NJKV verse 13). He strengthens this point with the resignation, "Thou He slay me, yet will I trust Him," (verse 15). This was the resolve of Daniel and his three companions as they willingly faced the lions and the fire.

Did it take Job's sufferings for him to arrive at these conclusions and to hold a worldview such as expressed in this passage? Perhaps. Life does come with some gruelling lessons, given under the harshest of conditions, and often dictated from the domes of personal disaster.

Journal of Adventist Education Fills Big Need
It appears in English five times a year (and twice in French, Spanish, and Portuguese), but the Journal of Adventist Education isn’t your average publication. According to editor Beverly Robinson-Rumble, the magazine fills “a unique niche—it’s a handbook for the classroom that emphasizes the integration of faith and learning in an Adventist context, and [fulfills] a prophetic function of helping teachers prepare young people for service here and for the world to come.”

Instruments Yes, But in Whose Hands?
Bear in Mind; Job's friends don't hate him; they are trying to "help" make peace with God and reverse his suffering. They are speaking the "truth" as they know it, perhaps not in love - but Job wasn't getting it! So they are drawn into this intense debate about truth, and what is really is. And this was seen as critical - if Job was to be helped.
