A study of active Seventh-day Adventist youth in Europe offers a snapshot of what factors could be associated with young Adventists who foresee themselves in the church in 20 years.

Arthur Griffith once created Bible study movies for Deaf people by setting up a movie camera he could operate with a makeshift foot pedal.
In the 1960s, a sheet covering the window turned a room in his Portland, Oregon home into a movie set where Griffith would stand in front of projected slides to minister to other members of his often-neglected subculture and language group -- the Deaf.

One year ago today, Jamaicans rejoiced when a religious leader was elevated to the highest office in the land. Simultaneously, an almost equal number of detractors voiced concerns about how a high-ranking Seventh-day Adventist official would adapt to serving a nation largely comprising Sunday worshippers.

In his article titled “Why Are So Many Women Unhappy?” Albert Mohler has yet to answer the question raised in his title. First, the author has given us no definition of the term “happiness” as he uses it. One would expect that religiously and, indeed, spiritually inclined persons would not take the word “happiness” lightly. Thus the article has yet to establish that so many women are indeed unhappy.

WHEN KENT HANSEN gets a case of the Monday blues, he doesn’t mope around the office; he blogs about finding God in “ordinary” and oftentimes faith-testing situations. Hansen says he “stumbled into” online ministry. The southern California attorney, whose blog, Monday Grace, now reaches 4,000 readers, began writing the weekly devotionals on practical faith in 1998 when his sister was in the last stages of pancreatic cancer.
