God answers Job after his long speech and asks a series of questions. What is the purpose to God’s questions? When we pray should we expect God to answer back? What did Job learn from God’s response? Can we ever truly accuse God of wrong doing when things in life are not as we might want them? Job learns that God is awesome and that there is so much he doesn’t know. How might this story be a lesson for us when we go through times of hardship and we think God is unfair?

 

 

 

John Spellman preaches on the true meaning of Christmas. Though Jesus wasn't born on December 25th, the Christian world commemorates His first advent. But why did Jesus come to this world as a baby?

Have you ever been frustrated and over worked by the demands and expectations of your employer? Does your job sometimes take away from things that are important? Do you often feel as if you have no time to focus on your spiritual life? God created work for a purpose, but humanity has strayed far from God's designs for work. We explore the Creation story and Exodus to understand God's plan for human employment.

Does life have a purpose? What is the value of human life in the eyes of God? If I struggle with an addiction and my life is messed up, does God still care about me? Does the Bible speak to feelings of depression and low self-esteem? Is there someone who values me when it seems like no one cares and I feel like giving up? Is there hope for someone like me? John Spellman hosts Gems of Truth.

What if everything you knew was a lie? What if you have lived your whole life seeing, but never really seeing or hearing, but understanding nothing? What if all the answers have been within your reach, but you were never able grasp them? What if you’ve lived almost your whole life, with a blind fold on? Would this news surprise you? What if I told you that there’s a way to take the blind fold off? Would you want to get rid of it? Or would you rather leave it on?

 

 

 

Did you know that you have a special anniversary with God? There is a special time that He wants to spend with you? A time that commemorates something special. Yet, we always forget it. If we would get angry, disappointed, or hurt when our loved ones forget the times, events, or special occasions that are most important to us, why do we think that it’s ok to do the same thing to God? In this simple presentation, the Sabbath is explained and its relevance to Christianity today.

 

 

 

Pastor Michael Mirra speaks on the subject of the new revisionist readings and interpretations on Bible passages dealing with homosexuality. Are these new interpretations Biblical? Does the Adventist Church accept practicing members of the LGBTQ Community into fellowship? Would such an approach be Biblical? This video responds to the assertions of the Loma Linda panelists and re-examines the "clobber texts" discredited by liberal members of the church. Pastor Mirra ties this important issue to Present Truth and last day events.

Part 3 of "When I'm Suffering Illness" on Ever-Present focuses on the health and medical professions? Is going to the doctor contrary to God's plan? If there are many who don't believe in God within the medical professions does that mean that Christians shouldn't get professional help when they are burdened with diseases and illness? Can true believers only be healed by miracles or does God bless people in the medical professions whether or not they acknowledge Him? Can it be proven from the Bible that God uses non-believers to be a blessing to believers?

Are you, or is someone you know, suffering from a terrible disease or illness? Is it something terminal or debilitating? Have you ever found yourself wondering why this has happened to you and why God allows you to go through suffering? Do you pray but not see the answers you’re looking for? At times of hardship like when you or someone you love is sick, it can be hard to see that God is Ever-Present.
