Overaged Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Well; it made the point re "Advent" and "Adventist;" which I feel is very important. Sometimes, when explaining our denomination, the Sabbath is over-emphasized at the cost of excluding any real focus on the Second Advent of Christ, who is "Lord of the Sabbath." Many echo the Bible question today: "Where is the promise of His coming?" and this article shows how the meaning of our name brings this promise into sharp focus. There is a lot of meaning in a name.

(Job 37:21)"I cannot know why suddenly the stormshould rage so fiercely round me in it's wrathBut this I know: God watches all my pathAnd I can trust""God helps us to draw strength from the storm" - OveragedFaith makes things possible; it does not make them easy, Steps To Christ
Moderators John317 Posted July 1, 2011 Moderators Posted July 1, 2011 I agree: "Advent" and "Adventist" is definitely a significant part of our name. I'm glad our name is "Seventh-day Adventist," though, and not merely "Adventist." Both are important. Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
