September 13, 2026 Good morning. Today we’re going back to school. Travis Duong, Hannah-Maria Bygrave, Ishani Peddi, Gene Winer and Nina Mareela Jones Fit check By Matt Yan I’m the host of Extra Credit, a newsletter for college students. Sign up here. Each generation has its own aesthetic. Gen Z is crafting a maximalist vibe. It’s glitchy and gloppy, but it’s not bland like that of our predecessors — sorry, millennials! (As one critic recently grumbled in the Times Opinion section: “Gen Z-ers dress like they’ve never worn clothes before.”) College quads now sometimes feel like catwalks: Students show off their personal style, some for the first time after years in high-school uniforms. I spoke with Jacob Gallagher, whose job is to know what’s cool. He hosts The Fashions, a newsletter that covers trends and what’s on the runway (you can sign up for it here). He answered questions about Gen Z attire. And as students return to school, we asked them how they’re dressing. Matt: How has fashion changed on campuses? Jacob: After the pandemic, everything (and this is not just on the campus) became way more dressed down. There used to be a certain sense of “getting dressed up” for class that just doesn’t really exist anymore. What trends are you seeing among college students and Gen Z? There is a lot of talk right now about how young people dress in this placeless, context-free mishmash. We call it “Gen Z chaos” in the office. When I was in college, your clothes reflected who you were, what you were into, what music you liked, what hobbies you had. I think you can’t really look at someone and glean that info anymore. There’s a lot of cobbling together thrifted clothes, stuff you’ve bought off TikTok Shop, making a shirt you inherited from a sibling into something that looks, well, interesting, perhaps rather than good. (Sorry!) If you were a college student today, what would you wear? Are you trying to fit in or be taken more seriously? As an outsider who is now well more than a decade removed from campus life, I tend to think a smidge of polish can do a lot. Does it make me washed and unc to, say … wear a button-up instead of a tee? Jeans instead of sweats? Maybe black loafers instead of Sambas? If you had to choose one staple item, what would it be? Get some good cotton shirts. They’re the kind of thing you can thrift or buy for under $50 at Uniqlo, and they’ll serve you well. You’ll need them for interviews, but you can also chuck them over some shorts on the weekend. Easiest, most versatile thing you can have in the closet. Campus style Readers of Extra Credit sent in these images of their style. Hannah-Maria Bygrave, 22, New York University This outfit was something I put together to attend my friend’s Howard homecoming. I believed the varsity jacket added a “school” touch, and the patchwork on the skirt sealed the deal. I wore the beige shoes to match the sleeves on the jacket. Nyx Hernandez, 20, New Mexico Highlands University I got most of my outfits from thrifting, gifts or clearance sections. I really like wearing button-ups and accessorize with what I have — for example, a slightly disheveled tie and some suspenders holding up my capris. I just love the color green. Might as well be the pop of color at my campus. Gene Winer, 21, University of Redlands I wore this the day I met Dolores Huerta, which also happened to be about a week prior to the Cesar Chavez revelations. Nina Mareela Jones, 18, Fashion Institute of Technology I’m wearing monochromatic pink Adidas Sambas, a lime green maxi skirt from Abercrombie & Fitch, a Jelly Firkin and a plain white tank top. More on college life: A new crop of students is trading keggers for yoga, saunas and cold plunges. At some universities, out-of-town parents can pay local moms to look after their college kids.

BOOK OF THE WEEK By Elisabeth Egan “Switzy,” by Emma Cline: A story about a regretful man en route to Zurich to end his life might not sound like a shoo-in for a riveting novel but, in Emma Cline’s hands, it is. David Hastings is an Alzheimer’s patient, a businessman, a father and a friend — in that order. Following him to Dignitas, we come to understand why he finds himself alone but for the company of a paid assistant. Cline’s tale, which was longlisted for the Booker Prize, includes a goodbye, an apology and the ever-darkening shadow of dementia, yet it somehow manages to be more of a referendum on truth than it is on loss. (Read our review.) THE INTERVIEW Philip Montgomery for The New York Times “We use this word that neither Astra nor I have ever used before because we’re not nationalist people: We call them ‘traitors.’ Not traitors to a nation, not traitors to a flag or a border, but traitors to creation, traitors to life.” — Naomi Klein, the author and activist. In a new book, she and Astra Taylor (seen on the left above) argue that religious fundamentalists, ethnonationalists and tech oligarchs are hastening the destruction of the world. Klein and Taylor spoke with David Marchese about how they view these threats, and why they still have hope. Read (or watch) their full interview here.

September 13, 2026 All Means All “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” (Matthew 28:18) “All” is a tiny word, but its all-encompassing meaning indicates its great importance, especially when in reference to Jesus. Consider its use in relation to creation. “All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made” (John 1:3). “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth . . . all things were created by him, and for him: and he is before all things, and by him all things consist” (Colossians 1:16-17). There was never a time when all things were not in Christ’s mighty hands. As the Father’s heir, Jesus received all these things from the Father. “[The Father] hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things” (Hebrews 1:2). “The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand” (John 3:35). The Father has also made Jesus the judge of all. “For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son” (John 5:22). Jesus Himself states that “all power is given unto me” (our text). With this power, Jesus redeems humanity and makes a new creation! “Thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him” (John 17:2). “Behold, I make all things new” (Revelation 21:5). Jesus desires “all men to be saved” (1 Timothy 2:4), so He directs us to “teach all nations” (Matthew 28:19). We need not look anywhere else for help. Jesus has all things in His hand and has all authority! What a great comfort to know that, “all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28). MJS

Good morning. 25 years ago today, the world changed forever. As I do every year, I'll be watching "The Man in the Red Bandana." Never forget. In today's edition: 49ers smoke Rams in Australia, Behind the Lens, the NFL's new pay hierarchy, Weekend Watchlist, the home run that saved a life on 9/11, Guess The Logo, and more. Yahoo Sports AM is written by Kendall Baker and Jeff Tracy. Let's sports... 🏈 DOWN UNDER NINERS CRUISE IN MELBOURNE (Quinn Rooney/Getty Images) The 49ers destroyed the Rams, 27-7, in the NFL's first Australia game — a result that will reset expectations in a stacked NFC West and raise questions about the Rams as the anointed preseason Super Bowl favorites. Goose eggs: San Francisco denied Matthew Stafford a touchdown after he scored one in every single game last season, and reigning DPOY Myles Garrett failed to make an entry in the box score in his Rams debut. No tackles. No sacks. No QB hits. Nothing. (Morgan Hancock/Getty Images) Jason Owens, Yahoo Sports: The lack of pressure from Garrett and the Rams' defense in part allowed Brock Purdy and San Francisco's offense to have their way. The 49ers entered halftime with a 10-7 lead thanks to a 39-yard touchdown connection from Purdy to Demarcus Robinson in which Purdy had all the time in the world to make the downfield throw. After halftime, the 49ers blew the game open. They drove 51 yards on seven plays on the opening drive of the third quarter that ended with Purdy's second touchdown of the game. After a goal-line stand by San Francisco, the 49ers marched 99 yards for another touchdown and a 24-7 lead. At that point early in the fourth quarter the game was all but over. The last word: "Sometimes sports can humble you and today was one of those days," said Rams head coach Sean McVay. "Whether you want to say it's about travel, whatever, we just weren't good enough. … They deserve the win." 💰 HIGHEST-PAID THE NFL'S NEW PAY HIERARCHY When Christian Gonzalez extended his contract with the Patriots on Monday, he became the fourth cornerback this offseason to claim the position's highest-paid throne, completing a summer in which record pay was established at nearly every position on the field. Formation shift: While pay is escalating across the board, the composition of the league's best-paid players has oscillated over the last decade. Quarterbacks have long topped the league, with edge rushers chasing them on and off the field. Beneath the surface, though, shifts have occurred among the positions comprising the NFL's top 50 highest-paid players by average annual value. QBs have consistently ceded ground, with only 16 making the top 50 this season, down from 23 in 2016. It's no longer enough to be a starter — teams will move on before committing top dollar to a substandard signal caller. Wide receivers have been the primary beneficiary of that shift, with elite pass catchers compensated to keep their expensive passers well-armed. No love for the line? Perhaps most striking is the absence of offensive linemen. Five years ago, nine offensive linemen ranked in the top 50. This year, only one makes the grade. Bottom line: Pay is rising, and records are falling for the NFL's elite, no matter the position. But it sure is nice to be in the passing or pass-rushing business. 📸 PHOTOGRAPHY BEHIND THE LENS (Carmen Mandato/Getty Images) Each week in Yahoo Sports AM, we'll be going "Behind the Lens" with Getty Images to get the backstory on the best photographs in sports. This week's photo: Juan Soto celebrates a home run against the Marlins with a sunflower-seed shower. Photographer: Carmen Mandato Location: Miami, Florida Date: Sept. 8 Behind the lens: Here's Carmen… At Marlins Park there's a bit of a give and take. From my photo position — about 20 feet away in the photo well — I can somewhat see the visiting dugout; but I'm also pretty obstructed, and I can't see the Marlins dugout at all. The important thing to know with shooting baseball is that we're not allowed to move around, so I can't really change the distance between myself and the subjects, which naturally reduces some of the visual variety in the coverage. Because of that, anytime there's a celebration, interaction or human moment, I make sure I'm looking for it. With this particular photo, I was on a telephoto lens because from that vantage point, I am largely blocked and need to clean up a lot of what's happening visually. Dugout celebrations are wonderful on a wide angle, and ideally I would love to shoot it that way, but here I was trying to use the telephoto to create intimacy instead. Juan had just hit a three-run home run, so I was looking for anything that added to that moment: teammates reacting, sunflower seeds flying, gum, whatever is happening. Anything that helps show the joy and personality of the players. I think having those humanizing, intimate moments is really important in sports coverage whenever you can get them. Equipment and technique: Carmen shot this with a Canon EOS R1 and Canon RF 400mm lens. She used an extremely fast shutter speed of 1/1000th of a second with a setting of f/2.8, ISO 400, indicating a wide aperture and moderate light sensitivity. 📺 VIEWING GUIDE WEEKEND WATCHLIST (Yahoo Sports) 🏈 NFL, Week 1 After two midweek games to whet our appetite, Sunday brings the glorious return of wall-to-wall NFL action. The games we're most intrigued by in the 1pm ET slot? Buccaneers at Bengals (Fox), Ravens at Colts (CBS) and Bills at Texans (CBS). Coming later: Division rivalries headline the afternoon and evening windows, with the Vikings hosting the Packers (4:25pm, CBS), the Eagles hosting the Commanders (4:25pm, Fox) and the Giants hosting the Cowboys in the nightcap (8:20pm, NBC). 🏈 NCAAF, Week 2 Saturday's slate is headlined by a potential national championship preview, as No. 4 Texas hosts No. 1 Ohio State (7:30pm, ABC) with Heisman contenders Arch Manning, Jeremiah Smith and Julian Sayin taking center stage in Austin. Best of the rest: No. 6 Oregon at Oklahoma State (12pm, ESPN); No. 11 Oklahoma at Michigan (12pm, Fox); No. 12 Alabama at Kentucky (3:30pm, ABC); Arizona at No. 15 BYU (3:30pm, Fox); No. 18 Tennessee at Georgia Tech (7pm, ESPN); Iowa State at No. 21 Iowa (7:30pm, NBC); Arkansas at No. 20 Utah (10:15pm, ESPN). 🎾 US Open, Championships The final four men take the court today, with top-ranked Alexander Zverev vs. Karen Khachanov in the first semifinal (3pm, ESPN), followed by an all-American matchup between No. 8 Ben Shelton and No. 11 Frances Tiafoe (7pm). The women's final between No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka and No. 2. Elena Rybakina is tomorrow (4pm), and the men's final is on Sunday (2pm). Ending the drought: Shelton and Tiafoe have a chance to make some pretty big history this weekend. For starters, the winner of their match will become the first Black American man to reach a US Open final since Arthur Ashe in 1972. And if they then win that match, they'll be the first American man to win a Grand Slam since Andy Roddick won here in 2003. ⛳️ Solheim Cup The 20th edition of the biennial women's golf tournament tees off today (Fri-Sun, Golf) in the Netherlands, where Nelly Korda and Team USA will look to defend their title against Charley Hull and Team Europe in the Ryder Cup-style event. How they stack up: The average world ranking of the 12 Americans is 39, compared to 54 for the Europeans. But the U.S. still faces an uphill battle as they seek their first win on European soil since 2015. 🏀 FIBA Women's World Cup A champion will be crowned in Berlin, where France faces Germany in tomorrow's first semifinal (10:30am, TBS), followed by USA vs. Spain in the second (2pm, TBS). The winners meet in Sunday's championship (2pm, TNT). Going streaking: The Americans seek a fifth straight gold medal as they ride a 34-game winning streak in this event. Their last World Cup loss? The 2006 semifinals. 👟 World Athletics Ultimate Championship Budapest hosts the inaugural edition of this track & field event (Fri-Sun, Peacock/NBC), where athletes will compete for $10 million, including $150,000 for every gold medal. Who to watch: The field features most of the biggest names in athletics, including Mondo Duplantis in the pole vault (Fri. 2:08pm), Sha'Carri Richardson in the 100m (Sat. 2:38pm), Kenny Bednarek in the 200m (Sun. 2:38pm) and what could be the race of the weekend between Cole Hocker, Jakob Ingebrigtsen, and Josh Kerr in the 1500m (Sun. 2:10pm). ⚾️ Mets at Yankees The final Subway Series of the season holds more importance than most, as today's opener (7:05pm, ESPN+) takes place on the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. They also play tomorrow (1:30pm, MLB) and Sunday (1:30pm, MLB.TV). Meanwhile, in Atlanta: The first-place Braves host the surging Phillies (Fri-Sun, MLB.TV/ESPN+), who are just 4 games back in the race for the NL East crown.

It was his girlfriend's father calling to make sure he had seen that a plane had just plowed into the World Trade Center's North Tower. "How could somebody do this?" Thomas remembers wondering to himself. "How could this even happen?" Later that day, after Thomas and his teammates had gathered in the New Britain clubhouse, a team official approached the Australian pitcher with a dazed expression. That was how Thomas learned that he and his girlfriend originally had seats aboard the first of the hijacked planes, that they were nearly two of the flight's 90-plus fatalities, that the outcome of an innocuous playoff series essentially spared their lives. (Grant Thomas/Yahoo Sports) 🏈 Ross Dellenger: 4 scars, 2 plates and a rebuilt heart: Inside the incredible rise of Texas' Trevor Goosby The scar runs from Trevor Goosby's right forearm to his right triceps. There's another scar on his left hand. And then a third along his left shoulder. If he lifts up his shirt — he's nice enough to do so — you'll see a foot-long scar cutting his sternum in half. Four scars. Two metal plates. A reattached arm muscle. A couple rebuilt joints. And, most serious of them all, a skin graft to plug a hole in his heart. Somehow, someway, despite the bumps and the bruises, the surgeries and the rehab, Goosby, an under-recruited 3-star prospect, made it here: The anchor on a Texas offensive line that protects a member of the Manning family; the bulwark for the fourth-ranked team in the country; the late-blooming teddy bear of a man whose favorite hobby is building Legos. (Mallory Bielecki/Yahoo Sports) 🏈 Jay Busbee: Chicago has its next Michael Jordan in Caleb Williams… at least that's the hope At the start of his third season, Caleb Williams stands on the doorstep of glory. He's already given Bears fans the kind of hope they haven't had in decades. And if he's able to keep the reigning NFC North champion Bears on their current trajectory, well — immortality awaits. Nobody loves a hometown hero quite like Chicago. "The entire city of Chicago is behind Caleb Williams in a way that I've never seen us get behind a Bears quarterback," says Kevin Kaduk, author of the Bears By 7 newsletter. "It's just a different feeling of confidence when he goes out there and works with Ben Johnson. What's also cool is that he's out and about around town. … When he goes to Wrigley Field to watch Pete Crow-Armstrong, he sits in the stands, not a luxury box." 🔎 LET'S PLAY GUESS THE LOGO Question: Can you guess this zoomed in NFL logo?

NIV changes, from 'ta hagia' to 'hagia haggiwn'.
Hanseng replied to hobie's topic in Theological Townhall
I underlined that. Sorry I didn't make that clear. Underlined or not, EGW calls the Wescott & Hort based English Revised Version, "the true version" compared to the KJV. The reference you cited is from the Desire of Ages, not the Review & Herald article I quoted from. The article is certainly written by EGW or at least credited to her. July 5, 1898 in the Review and Herald, Ellen White quoted the English Revised Version, based on the Greek test of Wescott & Hort. She called it the true version, compared to the KJV. I agree that we need to be careful in our studies. You cited a reference from Desire of Ages. I cited one from the R & H. In the Review and Herald article she says "the true version reads," siding with the English Revised Version against the KJV. Get it? The English Revised Version, at least in this text, is the true version. That version is based on the Greek text of Wescott and Hort. Westcott and Hort manuscripts -
"God has withheld His blessings because His people have not worked in harmony with His directions. Test 7 P18. " I know its not a popular message, but he is right. In the fastest growing division of the church, SSD, we have 1 pastor to every 7-9 churches. That district produces at least 100 baptisms per year. Often a new church plant. It is amazing.

No settled pastors. That is the way it is in 90% of our church. We see our pastor 3 or 4 times a year. Seems to work well. No control issues like USA.

DOJ went after protesters for felony assault, but juries, judges were unconvinced, AP analysis finds The U.S. Justice Department failed to secure felony convictions against most of the 102 protesters arrested in four major cities last year on charges of assaulting federal authorities — a record far below the norm in federal assault prosecutions.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says AI industry needs to give safety measures time to catch up NEW YORK (AP) — The CEO of Anthropic said Saturday the artificial-intelligence industry should slow its fast-moving development to give safety measures time to catch up. Without such a slowdown, Dario Amodei warned that within six to 12 months AI could be capable of leading a swarm of agents that could take over the entire internet. https://apnews.com/article/anthropic-ai-dario-amodei-d59552edcb27892d8ee4d98a48397706? -

September 12, 2026 Good morning. Melissa Kirsch is taking the day off. Pinch-hitting is Jancee Dunn, the host of our Well newsletter (sign up here to get it delivered to your inbox). She wants to take you for a walk. Walk this way By Jancee Dunn My average daily step count so far this year is 10,975. Fall is prime walking season: the cooling air, the changing colors. I have made a vow to take a good, substantial walk every day until hibernation season kicks in. Sometimes I have to be creative to get myself out the door. So I’ve come up with some go-to themes for my walks. For example: The Rage Walk. The other day, I was irked after I had been on hold with the I.R.S. for over an hour and laced up my sneakers. After I stomped around for a while, I eventually got distracted by my neighbor’s dahlias and found my anger had subsided. I make a point to take walks to savor happy feelings as well; on the recent news from my mom that her cancer is in remission, I took a peaceful, meandering morning stroll in a park near my house and listened to the birds sing. The Melancholy Walk. Putting one foot in front of the other has been shown to reduce depression and anxiety. My daughter is headed to college next year, and I’m already glum about it. I find a nighttime stroll, looking up at the moon with Lana Del Rey in my earbuds, allows me to wallow a bit in feelings of loss, work through them a little, and maybe even see the beauty in some endings. The Issue Walk. There’s something about perambulation that helps me work out my problems. My best friend and I have a ritual: If one of us is wrestling with some sort of dilemma, we’ll schedule a walk and hash it out. I’m in New Jersey and she’s in New York City, so we do it via earbuds. We’ll march along briskly, our walk providing a little forward momentum that makes us feel more confident and capable. Walktivity Sometimes I simply ask myself: Can I turn this activity into a walk? My boss and I have done our weekly check-in walking around the block outside the office. Next week I’ve scheduled a catch-up call with a former teacher who lives in another state, and I plan to do it while on the move. When I have time, I walk to the post office instead of driving. I used to meet a friend I’ve known since the Clinton administration for regular lunch dates. After she canceled several times in a row, I (gently) asked what was up. She explained that money was tight and she just couldn’t swing eating out that much anymore. So I proposed a walk instead. Our meandering walk-and-talks, it turns out, are much livelier than sitting in a restaurant. I’ve floated this idea to a few other friends in lieu of dates with price tags; no one has refused me yet. It’s good for you Walking has been shown to lower risk for many types of cancer and heart disease. Research suggests it can ease lower back pain, and also build and maintain strong bones. And if you’re seeking connection, a walk is a low-key way to put yourself out there and meet people. I’ve found that if someone has a dog or a young child, it’s particularly easy to strike up a chat. When I encounter a pup, I might ask, “Is your dog usually this beautifully behaved?” Inevitably, the reply will be “God, no,” followed by a tale of mayhem. I’ve found that toddlers crave power and respect; greeting them with “sir” or “madam” and a slight bow often thrills them. Or I might ask the child’s opinion on what I should have for my next meal (chicken nuggets and pizza are the front-runners). I love that walking is accessible for all ages. I find I can extract more information from my teenager on a long ramble, and indeed there is research suggesting communication is easier when you’re walking side by side, with little eye contact, rather than face to face. My father is 84 and likes to drop by my place for lunch. We used to sit in the kitchen and chat after eating. Now, I try to coax him outside for a stroll. Last week, he resisted because it was rainy, so I told him I wouldn’t divulge a delicious piece of family gossip unless we did a few laps around the block. Dad likes to pretend that he’s above gossip, but he’s not. His mouth pursed in disapproval, he stood up, put on his cap and headed for the door. Sign up for Jancee's weekly newsletter, Well.

Pool photo by Hiroko Masuike All four living ex-presidents gathered in Manhattan for a ceremony to mark the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. President Trump spoke at the Pentagon. Rudy Giuliani had called on Mayor Zohran Mamdani to skip the Manhattan memorial. But the two ended up shaking hands at the event. “I’ll pray for you,” Giuliani appeared to say. “It’s a really hard job.” Trump, who has long railed against the so-called forever wars that followed 9/11, used his speech at the Pentagon ceremony to justify his military action in Iran. Americans who enlisted in the military because of the attacks spoke about how that decision shaped their lives. Chang W. Lee, a longtime Times photographer, captured an indelible image of that day: the collapse of the north tower. In the video below, he describes how he did it. Click to play. The New York Times Middle East A drone attack launched from Iraqi territory caused Saudi Arabia to shut down a critical oil pipeline. The global price of oil briefly jumped to about $110 a barrel, and ended Friday under $105. The Houthi militia seized a strategic island in the Red Sea after days of fierce fighting, giving Iran sway over another crucial oil route. “These waters aren’t safe”: Gulf tankers are running out of ways to ship oil.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK David Malosh for The New York Times By Melissa Clark Easy Apple Tart This weekend is Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, when apples and honey are traditional parts of the menu. For something a little different, why not try David Tanis’s recipe for an easy apple tart, made with phyllo dough, marmalade and gently spiced apples? He drizzles it all with a bit of honey right before serving. To make it slightly richer, substitute puff pastry for the phyllo. Either way, it will be a glossy, golden finish to your meal.

See inside. ADVICE FROM WIRECUTTER Dana Davis/NYT Wirecutter How to free up space on your phone Regularly getting that dreaded “Storage Full” notification? You don’t necessarily need to pay for more cloud storage. Instead, spend 10 to 15 minutes each month freeing up space. Start by deleting any apps you no longer want or need; your settings menu can make this process easier by pulling up your least-used apps. Photos and videos eat up tons of space, so delete any unnecessary duplicates, screenshots or screen recordings. Consider setting your text messages to auto-delete after a designated amount of time. And, finally, remove any downloads (say, of TV shows or podcast episodes) that you’ve already streamed or know you’ll never get around to. — Brenda Stolyar NOW TIME TO PLAY Here is today’s Spelling Bee.

‘I think of him every year’: remembering those lost in 9/11, 25 years later Guardian readers share stories of the friends, colleagues and mentors whose lives they continue to honor decades after the attacks https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/sep/11/september-11-victims-remembering? 🇺🇸 America remembers People make a path as the "Wedge of Light," representing the Twin Towers, appears on the floor inside the Oculus in Manhattan yesterday. Photo: Heather Khalifa/AP A quarter century after the 9/11 attacks killed nearly 3,000 people, Americans gathered at Ground Zero, the Pentagon, and Shanksville, Pa., where Flight 93 crashed, to mourn those lost. "[A]t the annual reading of the names ... the passage of time was palpable. Some 9/11 family members reading the names were so young when their parents were killed they said they had no memories of them. Others mourned grandparents, uncles and aunts they never met," The New York Times' Andy Newman writes. Image: The Wall Street Journal This was the cover of a Wall Street Journal special section yesterday. The Journal's newsroom, located directly across the street from the World Trade Center, was evacuated and heavily damaged when the towers fell. Throughout the rest of the day, WSJ reporters and editors walked the streets of Manhattan with their notebooks and gathered in each other's apartments to piece together the next day's paper.

Radical Adventism In our age of International dialogue, it should not be unexpected to find self-appointed clitics of Adventism who suggest major revisions of our mission and ministry. What is surprising is to learn that Shane Anderson, the Senior pastor of Pioneer Memorial Church at Andrews University propose an extrema modification of the Adventist role for SDA Clergy. Pastor Anderson is most specific in the 4th Sermon that he preached in a series, on August 1, 2026. You may access it at the following link, and on Hope TV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYkHRg4xqug The proposal that he makes wkouold radically change how we do ministry in the West.

Here is the EGW passage in which, comparing the KJV and ERV, she described the ERV as the true version: "When Christ told Peter that unless he submitted to this service, he could have no part with him, Peter surrendered his pride and self will. This can never, never be. He was all broken up at the thought, and exclaimed, "Not my feet only, but also my hands and my head." Jesus had a lesson, deep, full, and significant: "He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all." The true version reads, "He that is bathed needeth not save to wash his feet." That lesson comprehended more than bodily cleansing." R&H July 5, 1898 I hope you understand. EGW called the version [ERV] based on the Wescott & Hort text the "true version" contra the KJV. John 13:10 Jesus saith to him, He that is bathed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all. ERV John 13:10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all. 11For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean. KJV When Christ told
