Adventists Worldwide Share Hopes for 2010 |
Some people at year's end scoff at those who publicly and earnestly
resolve to learn from their foibles and faults and, with any luck, bring
a double measure of the wisdom and experience gained during the previous
year into the new. The skepticism is often warranted -- countless vows

winter, or earlier. Someone once said, "A New Year's resolution is
something that goes in one year and out the other."

Holiday Message from the President of West Indies Union Conference |
Our Saviour, Jesus Christ left the majesty and splendor of heaven and
came to earth on a mission of hope - to rescue mankind from sin.
Although He knew that He would suffer cruelty, humiliation and death, He
came anyway and personified the love, concern and the care that we
should feel toward our fellowmen.

Celebrating the Man Who Split History |
William G.
Johnsson, assistant to the General Conference president for interfaith
relations, and a former editor of the
Adventist Review shares this very insightful seasonal article.
Jesus
was Jewish, not White. He was no weakling, no pasty-faced, monastic
figure. His muscles bulged from physical labor; His face was bronzed
from a ministry spent in the open, beside the lake, in the fields,
walking the dirt roads of Palestine. He stood erect, tall. His eye was
keen, His voice strong. No killjoy, this Man. People liked to have Him
around, they enjoyed His company.
