The Advent Message to all the World!!!

I am foremost a Christian and belong to the Seventh-day Adventists denomination. I was born and raised in the church having also attended the church school for 12 years. I am a member of the Hillview Seventh-day Adventist Church which is apart of the Bahamas Conference of Seventh-day Adventist . Although I may only be able to attend about 4 or 5 services a year I still consider it my home church as it is the cradle of my spiritual life and growth. Now with churchpond I can watch them live every sabbath. It's also refreshing to keep up with the local news in the church, by being able to read the weekly Logos.

While I studied in Montreal my faith and relationship with God grew even more and was nurtured by the wonderful people at the Mt. Zion Seventh-day Adventist Church . When I lived in Houston I had the opportunity to join the fellowship of a spirit-filled group of people at Fondren Southwest Seventh-day Adventist Worship Center. Fondren - where the S-O-N always shines. Most of my time and activities in Houston revolved around doing work for the Lord through this church. I have devoted myself to ministering, particularly to children and youth and love every moment of it.

Since moving to Denton, Texas I have joined the fellowship of the Denton 1st S.D.A. Church "The friendliest church in Texas". It is a very diverse church, Americans, Africans, Caribbeans, Hispanics, Asians etc. This may sound bad but one of the highlights if potluck dinner every Sabbath which is off da chain. When I don't make it to church I receive a blessing from the many online churches.
My beliefs

My beliefs, standards and life style ultimately spring from relationship with God and what He has revealed to me to be truth. I try not to be a religious person but spiritual but my religion does have an impact on my life. The major doctrines and beliefs of my church are Fundamental Beliefs in the Seventh-day Adventist Church which are based on the word of God.

I believe in God the Father, God the Son- Jesus through whom I have salvation and God the Holy Spirit who comforts and guides me.God in all His wisdom and love as set aside a special day which is the 7th day - Sabbath this is the time that I can set aside every worry or care and concentrate solely on God's love and praising His holy name. I realized the importance and true meaning of this day when I came to university. What a great God we serve. I have a blessed hope that Jesus Christ will return to this earth and gather his remnant and I strive through the aid of the Holy Spirit to prepare myself for His return.

My study

"Study to show thyself approved unto God..."
In these last days it is indeed important to be well rooted in the word of God. As such Bible study has come to mean so much more to me.

The daily study of the Sabbath School Quarterly is so much more easier now that it is available on the internet with references, scripture links and Bible helps. This quarter we are studying about God's Creation and taking deeper look into the creation story, the fall of man and it's impact on nature. I have also used additional Bible Studies with lesson which I have found to be very helpful. Cameron Law gives an excellent approach to the lesson and is especially helpful to those who have to teach the lesson.

In addtion to this there are the daily devotionals. I have recently recieved the Bible Explorer Version 2.0 software which is excellent as it contains so much things. From about 11 different versions of the bible to maps, commentaries, bible dicitionaries, study notes and guides and concordances. I recommended it to anyone. For more information try Bible Explorer.

Spirit of Prophecy

God has blessed our church with the Spirit of Prophecy which we have in the form of writings from Ellen G. White. These serve as aid in the understanding of His word and has been very instrumental personally in Bible study. There are many books written by Ellen G. White and you can enjoy some of them on the internet and learn more about this source. I have also obtained a copy of all of her books on a CD which is very helpful and convienent for studying and preparing messages.
