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
"Blessed are the meek." The difficulties we have to encounter may be very much lessened by that meekness which hides itself in Christ. If we possess the humility of our Master, we shall rise above the slights, the rebuffs, the annoyances, to which we are daily exposed, and they will cease to cast a gloom over the spirit. Desire of Ages, p. 301
