This week we will explore how Ellen White’s prophetic gift contributed to the development of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination. Our first reading highlights her influence on Adventist education, which she described as the “harmonious development of the physical, mental, and spiritual powers.” An excerpt from The Ministry of Healing further illustrates her distinctive perspective on Adventist health philosophy and practices, emphasizing that Adventists should follow Jesus’ model of both teaching and healing.
Additionally, Gerhard Pfandl’s article examines Ellen White’s key contributions to the Adventist church, while James Nix’s piece presents ten reasons why the Adventist church has been a blessing to many.

Thought for the Day
When we come to Him in faith, every petition enters the heart of God. When we have asked for His blessing, we should believe that we receive it, and thank Him that we have received it. Then we are to go about our duties, assured that the blessing will be realized when we need it most. When we have learned to do this, we shall know that our prayers are answered.
