Building on principles first outlined more than 150 years ago, a Seventh-day Adventist university’s publishing arm has released “The Science of 8 Natural Remedies,” a book detailing the science behind them.
As detailed by Ellen G. White, a pioneering co-founder of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, the health values are: Nutrition, Exercise, Water, Sunlight, Temperance, Air, Rest, and Trust in God. Since 1865, Adventists have promoted these principles. A community with a majority-Adventist…

“If you need to vent, contact me.” That was the phrase that caught the attention of Instagram viewer — and student — Joyce Sette, who lives in the Brazilian state of Espírito Santo.

Even though she’s a student who also has an internship, Júlia has…

At the height of COVID-19 isolation, social media challenges occupied our screens. So when university student Tom Do was challenged to do 25 push-ups for 25 days, he decided it was time to level up—both in terms of the challenge itself and the impact he could make.
“I thought to myself, how could I bump it up a bit? If I really wanted to raise awareness or generate money, I was going to have to do something more extreme than 25 push-ups.”
A new plan formed: walk more than 15 miles (25…

These needs can facilitate or hinder their learning of biblical principles, teachings, beliefs or values. This article focuses on how to teach the Sabbath school lesson in times of crisis. We will examine three areas: the context of learning, the biblical text, and Sabbath…

We all know all lives matter to God. This is reaffirmed by scriptures such as, “For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him (Rom. 10:12).
While all lives matter to God, He knows all lives don’t matter to all people. We play favorites, and usually defer to the powerful. That’s why biblical prophets repeatedly called for special protections for the “quartet of the vulnerable”[1] listed in Zechariah 7:9-10: “This…
