Seventh-day Adventists have the deep conviction that Jesus Christ will soon return, and the desire to keep His commandments as they were originally written in the Decalogue.

"I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me" (Proverbs 8:17).

In the first three articles in this series, we examined what Scripture says about the coming of Jesus, and also how the biblical books of Daniel and Revelation remain the foundations of understanding time.

"The fire and wood are here, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?" (Genesis 22:7).

One day, Jesus’s disciples—who followed Him about, observing His every word and action—asked Him to teach them how to pray.

I once served on a jury and, to my surprise, was voted foreman. The accused was charged with manslaughter, a serious crime with quite a harsh penalty; while driving an aged-care minivan filled with pensioners, he’d hit and killed a pedestrian.
