Club Adventist
Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

We too often think in terms of the truly important as being something worth dying for.


But what would be so important to you that you would do absolutely anything to stay alive for?

I'd stay alive to see God.

And then I'd die. But it would be worth it I suppose...

If my family was in a dire predicament and only I could be their salvation.
