We were chosen to be bold and unwavering to reach the lost in times of uncertainty and chaos.
Ellen White reminds us of this infinite power. “In its power, men and women have broken the chains of sinful habit. They have renounced selfishness. The profane has become reverent, the drunken sober, the profligate pure. Souls that have borne the likeness of Satan have been transformed into the image of God. This change is itself the miracle of miracles. A change wrought by the Word, it is one of the deepest mysteries of the Word. We cannot understand it; we can only believe.”
It is sad to say that we live amid global turmoil. In fact, this world is falling deeper and deeper into the consequences of sin. There is hope, however! The Word of God provides the greatest hope in Christ. It transcends and breaks various barriers. It reassures and reminds us of God’s love and faithfulness. Ultimately, the Word of God affirms that we are chosen for God’s mission.
Standing on the promises of God and accepting the call to mission was an unchanging divine responsibility 2,000 years ago and even more today. It is not an option, but a part of our identity as Seventh-day Adventists. As we reflect upon the words found in Acts 4, let us be reminded of our mission. We were chosen to be bold and unwavering to reach the lost in times of uncertainty and chaos. May we believe, practice, and proclaim the Word of God in times of global turmoil. May the testimony of Peter and John be our testimony today.
“As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.” (Acts 4:4)
Let’s Pray
Heavenly Father, thank You for the bold witness of Peter and the other disciples who were filled with the Holy Spirit of truth. Thank You that when we are saved by grace through faith in Christ, we are immediately baptised into the Body of Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank You that by means of the indwelling Holy Spirit, we are enabled to be filled with Your power and Your sufficient grace. May I walk in spirit and truth, and live and work to Your praise and glory, being continuously filled with Your power and grace for Your greater purposes. In Jesus’ name, AMEN.

I read and appreciate all your posts. For some reason, if I don’t comment, a like does not register.
It IS sad because of the love and service to Money more than the love and service of God, THIS Material World has arrived at the precipice of self-destruction.
Most of the World didn’t notice, but God gave THIS World a very powerful Warning SIGN of the Path we’re on in 2014, when ISIS blew up the Islamic Mosque in Nineveh, Iraq, containing the Tomb of Jonah in the Whale fame from the Jewish/Christian Tradition.
That was the same Year the US-CIA orchestrated the Regime Change of the Democratically Electedn Russian friendly Ukraine government the majority Russian speaking Ukrainians on the border with Russia voted for, rejecting the Coup/Regime Change.
The rabid anti-Russian government the US-CIA installed, started shelling those Russian speaking Ukrainian civilians, and the rest is History like the Nineveh Bible record repeated itself in 2014.
Arise, shine; for your light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon you.
For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon you, and his glory shall be seen upon you. Isaiah 60.
