    A Peculiar People: On The Road

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 26, 2026
     | 155 views

    Faithfulness is tested not by abstract obedience, but by whether truth walks with mercy among those who bear its greatest cost.

    Adventists know how to talk about obedience. We are fluent in it. We have inherited a vocabulary shaped by commandment-keeping, faithfulness under pressure, and clarity in a confused world. Obedience, for us, is not an abstract ideal. It is a marker of identity. It tells us who we are and, just as ...read more

    Even when separated or hindered, God’s presence unites and sustains us, making our love and faith in Christ endure until His return.

    If you’ve ever waved goodbye at an airport gate or watched a taillight fade down a long highway, you know the quiet ache of separation. We stand on porches and in parking lots, with a smile on the lips and a lump in the throat, and we whisper, “Until later.” Our hearts carry faces and names. Our ...read more
