BBlood Blood is a constantly circulating fluid providing the body with nutrition, oxygen, and waste removal. Blood is mostly liquid, with numerous cells and proteins suspended in it, making blood "thicker" than pure water. The average person has about 5 liters (more than a gallon) of blood.

Creation versus Evolution

2012-01-13T19:13:00.001-06:00

Creation versus Evolution Recently I was listening to a prominent Adventist Speaker talk about the importance of knowing the History of Christianity. He said that we also need to know Christian History in the light of the fulfillment of prophecy. He went to revelation 11, and identified the beast that comes out of the pit, as France during the French revolution. What was happening then?

Interdependence among the Godhead

Interdependence among the Godhead Let us talk about trees. A tree is a perennial woody plant. It is most often defined as a woody plant that has many secondary branches supported clear of the ground on a single main stem or trunk with clear apical dominance. A minimum height specification at maturity is cited by some authors, varying from 9 feet (3 m) to 18 feet (6 m); some authors set a

Commentary: When Adding leads to Replacing

2011-12-30T18:00:00.001-06:00

When Adding leads to Replacing For a special trip a man is given a luggage full of everything he will need for the trip. The luggage had no extra space for anything else. The truth is he needed nothing else that was not already in the luggage. He would not have any lack or leftovers. But, the man decided he wanted to take additional things. These were other things he wanted. Being that

Commentary: Sowing and Reaping

2011-12-23T18:34:00.001-06:00

Sowing and Reaping What is sowing? It is to plant seed for growing, especially by scattering. What is reaping? It is to cut or clear with a scythe, sickle, or machine; to gather by or as if by cutting the harvest. Another definition is reward. What is a harvest? As a noun it can be the mature crop of what was sown. It can also be the act of gathering the crop. It is also the season in

Light Bulbs

2011-12-16T22:19:00.001-06:00

Light Bulbs The light bulb is nothing without electricity. It was designed for illumination, but cannot, without energy, displace darkness. The light from a light bulb is a combination of three things: an incandescent filament that is part of an unbroken and uninterrupted electric circuit and of course, electricity. So, several simple things occur whenever the light bulb is ignited. The

Commentary: A List of Requirements

2011-12-09T07:40:00.001-06:00

A List of Requirements One day while in college I was perusing my school bulletin. I saw that beside the description for some classes it had the word prerequisite. Then it listed other class numbers. I figured that it meant that I should take the listed classes before I take the class in question. So, it seemed it was telling me what I had to do prior to taking the class in question. But,

Commentary: The Fork in the Road

The Fork in the Road Driving Eastbound on I-94 in Chicago (it is southbound in Chicago) the road splits. It is what some call a fork in the road. I-94 continues to the left (eastbound) and I-57 continues to the South. There are signs warning of the split a mile or two before by also suggesting possible destinations each route will take you to.

To Be Filled With Christ

To Be Filled With Christ Today it is easier to know if and when a woman is pregnant than in the days of Paul. There are tests that can let a woman know whether or not she is with child. In the past it was pretty much known when the belly started to swell up. No one then knew what happened inside until the woman gave birth to “final product.” With the scientific and technological advances of

Paul's Pastoral Appeal

2011-11-21T05:15:00.000-06:00

Lesson #9 | Paul's Pastoral Appeal | 11/26/11 How does a pastor deal with conflict in his church? For that matter, how does a prophet deal with an offshoot movement? “Paul’s pastoral appeal” is an effort at conflict resolution (Gal. 4:12-20). Paul reminds the Galatians that his missionary approach was to become a Galatian to the Galatians—“I am as ye are” (vs.12). He fit in with them. He spoke

Inheritance A will is the legal instrument that permits a person, the testator, to make decisions on how his estate will be managed and distributed after his death. Years ago there was distinction between a will and a testament, but over time the distinction has disappeared so that a will, sometimes called a "last will and testament."

A substitute teacher is a person who teaches a school class when the regular teacher is unavailable; e.g., because of illness, personal leave, or other reasons. In some regions, the qualifications for substitute teaching may not be as strict as those for a regular teacher. Some areas require a

Commentary: Remission

2011-10-21T20:34:00.001-05:00

Remission I have met several patients of cancer in my life. Some of them have gone through surgery or other kinds of therapy to get rid of the cancerous tissue. On more than one occasions the treatment was successful. But, the doctor's never said that the patients were cured. The doctors always said that the patients were in remission. I wondered what that meant. And as I found out, I

Did Peter know he was wrong?

2011-10-14T21:49:00.001-05:00

Did Peter know he was wrong? One Sabbath School class was discussing the life of Peter. Emphasis was given to Peter before conversion and after conversion. Before conversion, although Peter was boisterous and short tempered, he denied the Lord. After conversion Peter was the opposite. After this, they briefly discussed Paul confronting Peter about his prejudice behavior as recorded in
