Jazz as a form of music has developed over a period of 100+ years. In its present form it has many styles of music. The result is that some "experts" define the word in different ways. From this perspective, some forms of jazz music may be played in SDA congregations and performed by SDA choirs. In addition, Seventh-day Adventists worship in many nations of this world. In some countries, the typical music found in a SDA congregation may be considered to be a form of jazz by people in other places. My personal position is: God asks us to consider our personal relationship with God and God does not ask us to pass judgment on the fine points of how another person worships. The basic points may be found in Scripture. We do not have animal sacrifices today. But, Scripture leaves a lot up to the individual congregations to decide.

Walking around the mountains of Laos, I came upon a very nice school which was built by ADRA. I also noticed water faucets in places where people previously must have had to haul water. Nicely done, ADRA!

Because I have limited resources, I prefer to support ADRA because of the work it does overseas. Not only is it likely going to people who need it the most, but the dollars likely stretch further because the cost of living is lower. I'm thankful that ADRA is an organization with good ratings that I can trust.

I loved the evidence presented. Now there is just one other piece of evidence that this article places us close to. Jesus' Passover visit was his bar mitzvah, which indicates a birth during the time after the fall festivals and thus be celebrated on the visit to Jerusalem for Passover. If he was born before when the fall festivals then it should have been a fall festival visit where he'd have his bar mitzvah, and they loose Jesus as he went about his father's work at the temple.

Great article!!

We shall be like Him ? 1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
