I was baptized into the Baptist church 24 years ago. I began to learn the real truth a couple of years ago. I was baptized into the Seventh Day Adventist Church 3 days ago. What a joy and blessing.

Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. I trust in God and keep faith even as I struggle to take care of my children and myself. As a single mother things are so hard on me. Both of my sons are autistic I’m overwhelmed. God please hear my prayers. I’m constantly struggling to buy groceries and constantly struggling to pay rent I’m ashamed and overwhelmed. But I choose to have faith over fear as christians that’s all we can do. No matter your struggle, you can turn to God. He knows us personally and can give us strength to overcome our challenges. Heavenly and merciful Father, I come before your glorious throne today, in humble adoration please help me overcome my struggles and my constant fear of homelessness. You have provided this far and I’m so grateful for your love and mercy. I will continue to walk with faith! And not by sight!❤

Hello from England! Thank you for these Q&A sessions. I am quite new to the SDA Church. I took my first Baptismal class yesterday at Church. I feel so blessed that the Holy Spirit guided me to the Church of truth, my life is changing in ways I never expected. I never, ever thought I'd feel compelled to be Baptised but the feeling has been so strong, it feels right. God has blessed me spiritually beyond all expectations.

I'm a third generation SDA... And I love my church, I believe, that though right now its not in a good place, it is the remnant church of God. I pray that the blindness is taken away so that we may see whats really happening. We're good at pointing the finger at other denominations for changing The Word of God, but when we do it, the masses look the other way. The Patoumec Conference and their issues with Pastor Stephen B is partly our doing. By being silent, we become part of the problem. Lord have Mercy on us.

So if the main aim of the Church is to shape culture not to be shaped. So Pr T Wilson came here in Africa (Zambia/Tanzania) and He was showing and doing their culture, so meaning ....anyway.. I like this program.. Keep it up

[@HL365]

When we talk about culture, it refers to broad range of practices, behaviors, habits and beliefs. There are some that are immoral. There are some in agreement with the Bible. So, we can agree with culture as long as the culture agrees with the Bible. But the moment any cultural practices go against the Bible, we don't accept them. Nor do we try to fit the cultural practice with the Bible. Hope this helps. If you have further questions, please email us at [e-mail] and we would be glad to talk to you about it.
