I don't know the details, but I heard today that Francisco de Araujo, who developed and directed the Jerusalem Passion Play and the Nativity Play of Bethlehem, two plays performed in Israel with a strong Desire of Ages influence, has died. Working as an actor in these plays were the highlight of my life. (Of course it did not hurt that while there I had some super good friends, including 3 young ladies who were to become 3 of my favorite former girlfriends. Still friends with two of them.) My condolences to his family and loved ones.

The New Testament has one God who's name is: Father, Son and Holy Sprit. The Old Testament has one God in three pictures: El or God as the great unapproachable power ruling the entire universe. YHWH, The Angel of the Lord who turns out to be the Lord, Michael the Prince, Messiah the Prince, the Fire that burned but did not consume the bush, The Captain of the Lord's Host, etc. which is God as personal and approachable. Then there is the Spirit of the Lord where we do not see an objective revelation as we do in the first two, but God working on the heart and leading the life through the subjective, existential situations. We have all of these as one God, and united in the term "Elohim" the singular plural. Yes, The God of the Old Testament who's name is El, YHWH, The Spirit of God; and the one God of the New Testament who's name is God the Father, God The Son, and God the Holy Spirit is the creator of the entire universe.

Norway is my heritage. I've seen him once when he left a church service and went to his car, and three or four times as he stood on the palace balcony for the 17th of May Children's parade. When my Grandma was a child she marched in that parade for his Grandfather King Haakon. And of course I grew up knowing about his Father King Olav. My heart breaks as he falls to sleep. My prayers to his family, his son King Haakon VIII, and to our country. While many royal families are full of scandal, this family has tended to be devote believers. I hope this continues.

Sounds like you are describing "celebration" worship, not spiritual formation. "Ideally spiritual formation is about people developing a relationship with Christ based on grace and forgiveness of sin, a relationship that will bring them comfort and victory over sin." I have never seen or heard anything like what you describe in SDA churches. I have read false reports of such happenings. I know they were false because I was at the very church when such things were reported to be taking place there. Absolutely false in the case of which I am aware. Are you saying that SDA churches on Sabbath morning feature music louder than a Zeppelin concert, gyrating performers and saints grinding and shaking? If so, I'd be interested in what church or churches and when this took place.
