Early Adventist Engagement

Our church largely avoids social issues but hear Dr. Keven Burton talk about early Adventist's passionate involvement in abolition, temperance, and more on Strong Tower Radio Today this week. This recording was captured as a prelude to the Public Affairs and Religious Liberty symposium at the Battel Creek Historic Adventist Village April 5. This is part of a series that will also interview the Liberty Magazine editor and the North American Division's religious liberty director.

Dr. Kevin Burton's interview is this week at 5 p.m. Sunday, 10 a.m. Monday, and midnight Wednesday. The other two interviews will be aired at a later date only on Strong Tower Radio stations, STR apps, or STR.fm.

Kids sharing the 3 Angels

Kids can teach adults Bible doctrines. This week you will hear the Northview Adventist School students share their "Three Angels' Messages" school program through reciting bible passages, explaining the meaning, and singing it in song.

Northview students performed this program at their constituent churches, and we recorded it in our production studio last year. It will air this Friday at 1 p.m., and Saturday at 5 p.m.

Ironically, the first airing of "The Three Angels' Messages" is the recording day of this year's program, "Christ Our Righteousness." Now that is something to look forward to next year only on Strong Tower Radio stations, STR apps, or STR.fm.

Father's Example

Life presents many examples of fathers.  Let’s look to the wonderful, since we soon resemble what we behold.  One Biblical example recounts Jairus, a Capernaum church leader, whose sick daughter was near death.  Anxiety stirring within him, he rushed to town hoping to find Jesus, who had been away for several days.

Entering Capernaum, he saw Jesus, ran, and fell at His feet, urging Him to come and heal his daughter who would die without intervention.  Perhaps you can imagine the angst Jairus felt facing such loss.  Hope flooded his emotions as Jesus readily agreed to his plea. His hope was strengthened as a woman was healed from a long-term illness along the way, just from touching Jesus’ robe!

But his heart sank when friends coming from his home told Jairus that his daughter was dead and not to “trouble the Master anymore.”  Too late, Jairus thought, I’ve lost my little girl, yet Jesus' words interrupted his grief-stricken thoughts - “Be not afraid, only believe.” [1] What an invitation!

Taking Jairus and three disciples with Him, Jesus continued to Jairus’ house where they found his daughter had indeed died.  Jesus then discreetly resurrected this young girl as her parents watched amazed.  “Be not afraid, only believe.”  Wow, words backed with power!

Fathers, are you seeking Jesus for your families, for yourselves?  As you seek, you find His power working in both you and your family’s lives.  STR programs strengthen families by pointing all to the most wonderful Father of all–our Heavenly Father.   Lives are being changed daily as listeners learn the real character of God.    Pray with us that God’s Spirit will work with greater power to change listeners' lives. Then as God impresses you, add your monthly financial support to your prayers.
