This state of things calls for the use of every power of the intellect; for it is keen minds . that the minister will have to meet. He should be well balanced by religious principles, growing in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ … Truth must be placed in contrast with bold assertions.—Testimonies for the Church 5:528 May God’s Spirit lead and guide the HMS Richards Divinity School to prepare ministers, administrators and others to “…rightly divide the word of truth…” 2Timothy 2:15.

    The Arts – Foundational Element of an Impactful Life By Darla Martin Tucker The world began through an unfathomable act of brilliant creativity that human minds cannot comprehend. Earthly life, marred as it has become, abounds with innumerable exquisite moments and elements, all the handiwork of the original Artist who expressed Himself and communicated His deep love through creating what previously did not exist. The stated aim and mission of Seventh-day Adventist education is to pursue whole-person development and produce service-oriented, joyful individuals who are deeply connected to and modeled after our Creator God. The visual, performing, and literary arts provide a multitude of avenues for students to develop in this way, to function as “brand ambassadors”—storytellers for our Creator and for His gospel mission and objective to create new lives out of suffering, to give a voice to the marginalized, and to know ourselves and each other in a meaningful way. “The arts give us meaning and help us communicate our stories and experiences across time,” said Terrill Thomas, chair of La Sierra University’s Art+Design department. “Without visual communication…no organization, including the SDA church, would be able to communicate their message to an increasingly connected and visually literate society.” He added, “The only way we can influence the world is to engage with the world and connect our students to art and design careers to every industry around the world.” Alums of La Sierra’s arts programs over the decades have made their presence

    FOR WO RIO I V A N G 11 I VOLUME XXVIII APRIL, 1955 NUMBER 4 Voice for 25 COURTESY OF B.&O.R.R. M. LEONE BRACKER, ARTIST ©What Hath God Wrought!" The wonderment that filled the world at the sending of the first wireless has long since subsided. The airways carry their countless messages, but scarcely ever are we brought up short with the thought of the first words ever to travel by wireless: "What Hath God Wrought!" Surely the wonder is none the less real because it is now so much a part of our everyday lives. Why don©t you, too, just "take off the hat of your soul" and stand in awe before this wonder that is radio? Religious radio is a pair of feet walking into more homes than a parish worker could enter on his own feet in many days. Religious radio is a pair of hands offering help, consolation, friendliness to more lives than a parish worker could touch with his own two hands in many weeks. Religious radio is a voice speaking comfort and courage to more hearts than a parish worker could reach with his own voice in countless months. What a multiplication of service God has made possible through this wonder He has wrought! -DOROTHY GREEN in Outreach.
