Interesting article

phkrause

By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1}

"The merits of His sacrifice are sufficient to present to the Father in our behalf." S.C.36.

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.

"People [rarely] see...the bright light which is in the clouds..." (Job 37:21)

"I cannot know why suddenly the storm

should rage so fiercely round me in it's wrath

But this I know: God watches all my path

And I can trust"

"God helps us to draw strength from the storm" - Overaged

Faith makes things possible; it does not make them easy, Steps To Christ

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.

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.
