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
The Christian is ever to realize that he has consecrated himself to God, and that in character he is to reveal Christ to the world. The self-sacrifice, the sympathy, the love, manifested in the life of Christ are to reappear in the life of the worker for God. Desire of Ages, p. 417
