Comment on Animal Rights: An Adventist’s Stand by Jacquelyn

That is very possible. Though comments are helpful to the writers in knowing how the readers felt about a particular message, it is perfectly alright not to comment. Speaking for myself, I used to be very “silent” when it came to reading articles, blogs, or watching videos online. It took me awhile to become comfortable with commenting, but I am probably still “silent” 50% of the time, even when I like something. Maybe I should look for a “like/dislike” or “rating stars” feature for the articles that way no one feels compelled to comment if they do not wish to but can still give feedback if they are so inclined.

God bless!

Comment on Pagan Traditions Within Christianity by david@thetestimonies

Very interesting article especially about Christmas and Easter. I have always suspected since I was a teen about the validity of Christmas and I was not even a christian at the time.

I wonder if that’s one of the reason that people don’t post comments? That even though you might like what someone writes, you’re not sure how to reply?

Comment on Why Are Young People Leaving the Church? by Jacquelyn

Hello, David! Thank you so much for sharing your perspective. I am terribly sorry that such a thing happened to you, your family, and your church family. Thank the Lord, the individual was not able to swindle even more people.

If I may be so bold: you and I seem to have similar personalities. We are the type that will not let a few bad apples sour our opinion on the entire church. When we are wronged or hurt, we may vent, but we ultimately take it as a learning experience; it makes us stronger, wiser, and, at least for me, more compassionate towards others. Unfortunately, some people are more sensitive, and it is not as easy for them to brush off bad experiences. Though they try hard to overcome their anger, hurt, fear, or depression, they cannot do it on their own. It is a good thing that we have the Creator of the universe, the Lord Almighty, to be our comfort and strength! So matter what our individual personalities or situation, we can fully rely on Him. My two favorite Scriptures passages are Philippians 4:13 and Jeremiah 29:11-13, and both have helped me through trying times.

God bless!

Well here is my 2 cents I am a newer adventist and being only 28 yrs old I think I might have a little bit of a say so if I say so lol.

Well after I had gotten baptized we had a con artist come through our church and promise everyone money and to build a church school etc. Very knowledgeable with the bible, etc. Needless to say it was a con and a few families (including mine) lost everything! He was in prison for about 2 years (he is out now but was happily shipped out of another Adventist church this time with no harm thanks to our testimony), anyway for a young person who hated christian for many of these reasons I should have been totally thrown off. But here I am preaching sermons at multiple churches, giving bible studies and jsut as hungry to serve… WHY? because I feel God wanting a relationship with me and I with him… because it’s easy to fault find and get down when people bounce on you ESPECIALLY church members! I feel that people that leave are for one reason: they never first and foremost were introduced into a REAL (not just perceived but real) relationship with God. The other is that they were never able to establish lasting relationships with people within the church and 95% of the time thats the other peoples fault. Just my opinion.

Hi, Janett. Thank you for bringing this error to my attention. Unfortunately, unless you have an account with the In Focus blog, I cannot easily fix the problem on my end. The emails should have a link near the bottom that will allow you to unsubscribe from the email notifications. I will look into the matter more thoroughly.
