"Three Fundamental Beliefs About Our Relationship With God"
Creation ~ Evolution ~ Last Celestial Messages

Welcome! You have arrived at the "heart" of what we believe is the mission for Seventh-day Adventists in these final days of Earth's present history.

Society is asking:
Why are we here?
How did we get here?
What will become of civilization and the earth?
Is there a God?
Who is in charge here?

Many resources presented here will confirm your faith.

These fundamental teachings of the Bible answer those questions (and many more). They are illustrated in the heading above, hinting at the magnificent expression of Heaven's love for Earth's inhabitants, the joy of experience in it, and the obligation we have to worship Him. We uniquely teach, from Biblical interpretation, the significant relationship among:

the literal 6-day Creation event by the Godhead of Heaven

God's crowning act of making 1/7 of time holy as a Sabbath

the subsequent perpetuation of the 7th day Sabbath observance forever and its defining characteristics of true worship

the urgency and immediacy of three angels' messages in Revelation 14 which call forth God's children to readiness for the final events on Earth and Christ's 2nd Coming

On the next pages of this site you will engage in a free dynamic self-study adventure at your own pace with the aid of a narrative outline guiding you to Scriptural passages, excerpts from popular literature, audio links, video links, websites, and optional self-assessments. ENJOY!
