Adventist Education Sección En Español Vantage Point July 2012 SOUTHERN Adventist Education Sección En Español Vantage Point How to be Faithful with God When Money is Tight “When you make a commitment to God, He will either send you a blessing or test you to see if you meant it.” That is what a local elder told me many years ago after a stewardship revival. It is wonderful when God opens the windows of Heaven and pours out blessings as we give. At the conclusion of a stewardship revival, Sadie made a vow to increase her giving. The next day she testified, “When I got home, a check for $500 was in the mail!” But what about when we make a vow and then experience financial challenges? Shortly after a couple committed to give their children an Adventist education, the unthinkable happened: the husband was laid off. Money was tight, but they had made a commitment. What were they to do? It was a test. They prayed and decided to stand by their commitment. God showed them some resources to help, but they needed more. Fortunately, God placed a teacher at the school with a sympathetic ear and heart. She felt if parents make a faith commitment to give their children a Christian education, educators should make a faith commitment to help them. She joined the parents in prayer and began to actively raise money on their child’s tuition. Together they prayed. Together they worked. And together they watched God provide every dime. They passed the test. Sometimes we make commitments to increase our giving and then run into fi- nancial problems. How does one win the battle to remain faithful to your vows when R. Steven Norman III money is tight? Southern Union Recently, my wife and I decided to increase our giving during a time when un- Director of expected expenses made money very tight. But God saw our situation and gave us Psalm 50:14, 15 to encourage us while we watched Him prove His faithfulness again Communication and again: Guest Editorial Make thankfulness your sacrifice to God, and keep the vows you made to the Most High. Then call on Me when you are in trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give Me glory. These two verses provide four tips that can help believers be faithful and steadfast during a commitment test. First, give thanks to God for Who He is. He is Jehovah-Jireh, our Provider. We can also give thanks for what He has done, is doing, and will do to care for us. Second, determine to keep your vows. Third, call on God for help. His unfailing promise to every struggling believer is, “I will rescue you.” Finally, when God answers, give Him the glory. Your testimony of God’s goodness will give glory to God, strengthen your faith, and encourage someone else who is struggling. In fact, “don’t wait ‘til the battle is over, begin to praise Him now!” 2 T IDINGS • July 2012 SOUTHERN Contents Volume 106, No. 7, July 2012 The Southern Tidings is the Official FEATURES Publication of the Southern Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists SOUTHERN UNION CONFERENCE 3978 Memorial Drive • Mail Address Strike One...

For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his wealthy father could well afford it, he told him that the sports car was ALL he wanted. As graduation day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disap- pointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible with the young man's name embossed in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, "With all your money, you give me a Bible?" He stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible. Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old and very ill. The son thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed Leslie N.

  • Chronology of Seventh-Day Adventist Education: 1872-1972
    CII818L8tl or SIYIITI·Ill IIYIITIST IIUCITIGI CENTURY OF ADVENTIST EDUCATION 1872 - 1972 ·,; Compiled by Walton J. Brown, Ph.D. Department of Education, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists ·t. 6840 Eastern Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20012 i/ .I Foreword In anticipation of the education centennial in 1972 and the publication of a Seventh-day Adventist chronology of education, the General Conference Department of Education started to make inquiries of the world field for historical facts and statistics regarding the various facets of the church program in education. The information started to come in about a year ago. Whlle some of the responses were quite detalled, there were others that were rather general and indefinite. There were gaps and omissions and in several instances conflicting statements on certain events. In view of the limited time and the apparent cessation of incoming materials from the field, a small committee was named with Doctor Walton J. Brown as chairman. It was this committee's responsibility to execute the project in spite of the lack of substantiation of certain information. We believe that this is the first project of its kind in the denomination's history. It is hoped that when the various educators and administrators re­ view the data about their own organizations, they will notify the Department of Education concerning any corrections and additions. They should please include supporting evidence from as many sources as possible. It is hoped that within the next five to ten years a revised edition may replace this first one. It would contain not only necessary changes, but also would be brought up to date.
