  • CHAPTER 8 A PLACE OF ETERNAL SECURITY
    Imagine two young men in their 20s chopping firewood in the days of ancient Israel 3,000 years ago. Let’s call them Ehud and Eli. As they gather wood for the evening’s fire, they share stories, laugh together, and discuss their futures. Then it happens. As Ehud carelessly swings the ax with all his force, he misses his target slightly. The ax handle shatters, and the axehead flies with lightning speed and hits Eli in the throat. He is bleeding profusely, and there is little Ehud can do to save his friend’s life. Although it was an accident, Ehud recognizes that his life will be taken next. Eli’s father and brothers must avenge Eli’s death by taking the life of his killer-that is, unless Ehud can make it to one of Israel’s six cities of refuge.
    There is no time to waste. Ehud begins to run, and as he picks up speed, he runs faster and still faster. His lungs are burning. He pants, almost out of breath. His legs ache. His heart is racing. Beads of sweat pour down his forehead. He forces himself to run even faster. In the distance he hears the galloping hooves of horses. Eli’s father and brothers are in hot pursuit. He knows that if he does not make it to the city of refuge soon, his life is over. Consumed with guilt for his carelessness, overcome with worry, and filled with anxiety, he rushes on.

    Chased by guilt,
    Attacked by fear,
    Pursued by anxiety,
    Sought after by worry,
    Jesus becomes our refuge. Praise God for Pr. Mark.

    What does Pastor Finley say about taking vaccine?

    • @AdventistOrgChurch
      @AdventistOrgChurch  Před 3 lety +1

      The Seventh-day Adventist Church places strong emphasis on health and well-being. The Adventist health emphasis is based on biblical revelation, the inspired writing of E.G. White (co-founder of the Church), and on peer-reviewed scientific literature. As such, we encourage responsible immunization/vaccination, and have no religious or faith-based reason not to encourage our adherents to responsibly participate in protective and preventive immunization programs. We value the health and safety of the population, which includes the maintenance of “herd immunity.”
      We are not the conscience of the individual church member, and recognize individual choices. These are exercised by the individual. The choice not to be immunized is not and should not be seen as the dogma nor the doctrine of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
