Is “Christian Service” a compilation from the writings of Ellen White?
“Christian Service” is a thematic compilation from the writings of Ellen White, not a separate authorial work composed by her from beginning to end. At the same time, the book may rightly be connected with her literary heritage, because its content comes from her manuscripts, articles, and published materials. When the question arises whether “Christian Service” is a compilation or a “work” of Ellen White, it is important to distinguish two […]

What is the correct Russian name of Ellen White’s book Christian Service?

The question concerns how to properly name the work Christian Service in Russian. Although the answer itself concerns the translation of the title, for […]

What did Ellen White write about future world wars?
Ellen White did not provide a calendar of world wars, but she clearly wrote about the growth of international conflicts before the end. In her writings, wars appear not as sensational prophecy to satisfy curiosity, but as one of the signs of the world’s moral and spiritual crisis that brings humanity closer to the final events of earth’s history. In the writings of Ellen G. White there is no detailed scheme of the future […]

What does the authority of Christ mean, and what does God give to those who accept salvation?
God’s authority does not enslave; it saves. In Christ we see not harsh control, but holy love that has the right to forgive, the power to deliver, and the desire to make us God’s children. We live in a world where the word “authority” often causes anxiety. People are used to authority that presses, commands, punishes, and takes advantage of the weakness of others. But the gospel reveals a completely different reality: the highest […]

What should I spray apple, pear, and plum trees with as preventive treatment?
The Bible does not give advice on spraying apple, pear, and plum trees. So the short and specific answer here should be practical: for preventive care of fruit trees, people usually use one product for diseases and a separate product for pests, strictly according to the instructions and taking the flowering stage into account. As a preventive measure for apple, pear, and plum trees, most often one fungicide is used and, if needed, […]

What should I spray the grapes with now, and what does the Bible say about wisdom in daily life?
God cares not only for the soul but also for a person’s daily needs. But the question of treating grapevines belongs more to gardening than to biblical teaching, so it is important to honestly distinguish between spiritual topics and practical everyday advice. When someone asks what to spray grapes with right now, they are looking for a quick and useful answer. Yet as Christians we should remember: […]

What should you spray apple, pear, plum, and grape plants with right now in the middle zone?
Wisdom in caring for a garden lies in care, not in extremes. When a person works with the soil, trees, and grapevines, they learn responsibility, moderation, and respect for God’s creation. The question of what to spray apple, pear, plum trees, and grapevines with in the middle zone is practical and understandable. At the beginning of summer, many encounter scab, powdery […]

How does the Holy Spirit convict of sin and lead a person to sincere repentance?
The promptings of the Holy Spirit are God’s gift, not merely a rebuke. When the Holy Spirit convicts of sin, He does not push us away from God, but gently calls us to repentance, healing, and restored fellowship with Christ. In the life of a believer, a familiar inner conflict often takes place: at first we understand that we have done wrong, but the very next moment we begin looking for explanations why […]

What is this week’s inVerse lesson and where can I find it?
I can help you find this week’s inVerse lesson. But to answer accurately, I need a small clarification, because the name “inVerse” usually refers to the Seventh-day Adventist Church’s youth Bible study guide inVerse, and without a current link I cannot confirm the exact current lesson. You most likely mean the weekly inVerse guide, which focuses on studying a Bible passage, spiritual […]

What do Jesus’ words “you are gods” mean in John 10:34?
In John 10:34, Jesus is not teaching that people are gods by nature. He quotes Psalm 82 to expose the false accusation of blasphemy and to show the difference between people who merely represented God’s authority and Himself as the Son of God. When the Jews heard Christ’s words about His unity with the Father, they perceived this as an encroachment on God’s […]

where does the Bible say “you will be like gods”?
The phrase “you will be like gods” is recorded in the story of the Fall. It is not God’s promise, but the serpent’s seductive words by which Satan led Eve into distrust of God. When people ask where the Bible says “you will be like gods,” they are referring first of all to the serpent’s words in the Garden of Eden. It was there that the enemy distorted God’s will and presented disobedience as the path to a higher state. […]
