Christ’s resurrection from the dead is the firstfruits of our own future resurrection. So why don’t we Adventists talk more about Jesus being raised from the dead? Leave your comment on the new LogosSDA Facebook page.

    bump.    (not Adventist here but..)  I appreciate how much focus Adventists do put on eschatology. The resurrection of Jesus is our hope. It should also be a primary focus of discussion.

                                                                Thank you, Martin, for the great job you are doing.

    Thank you for your kind words, ST. I see from your Star you are a real Logos enthusiast. It's because of your tribe that I can have a ministry here.

    BTW, I wish more of my fellow Adventists would put proper focus on the resurrection of Jesus--without which any excitement we have for Christ's 2nd Advent is irrational exuberance. Paul says in 1 Cor 15 that without the resurrection of Jesus Christ we have no hope for the future and no reason to live radical lives for God right now--we would be of all people most to be pitied.

    I appreciate your looking over our shoulder on this forum and encouraging us to keep the focus where it belongs!

    Will remember that this weekend. Presenting a synopsis on Revelation. Using Doukan's book on Revelation. Martin we need to get this in Logos as well.

    Martin we need Doukan's book on Revelation in Logos. Using it as the basis of my summary of the book of Revelation.

    Great suggestion. I've been working on it for months; it's in a block of requested books that I am so eager to get. Let's all pray for a breakthrough.
