A man known as a great man because of what he did in his whole life, private and public. Looking at the New Testament church there is a different model presented than what is practiced by most institutional religions today, including Seventh-day Adventist. Acts records a church focused on living in the present moment of the Presence. Romans, Ephesians, and 1 Corinthians record the attributes of this church that made them unique and special. Church was and is family.
Good family is a safe and forgiving place.
People are valued for what they believe and do. The drive is to heal emotional injuries, dialogue and apply biblical behavior models, live to nurture relationships, and strive for personal accountability. There is much that unites us as Christians and Seventh-day Adventists. Unity relates to a common thirst in our wilderness called earth. Unless we take a drink from the true fountain and discover what life is really all about, we will never know what it is that unites all of us.
