Due to a mistake on my part, I wrote the Sabbath School commentary for the wrong week last week. This week was my originally scheduled week to write. So, it's now online at the Spectrum Website.
Much has been said about compassion ministries in the church. Indeed, the Seventh-day Adventist Church has a long history of ministries of compassion, going nearly all the way back to the beginning of our denomination. The Dorcas Society, now known as Adventist Community Services, has been a hallmark of the Adventist Church, collecting and distributing items to those in urgent need. The stereotype of blue-haired old ladies folding clothes for ADRA is not always consistent with reality, but I have some of those exact memories from my childhood growing up in the church. In fact, I spent many a morning in the summers folding clothes with some of those faithful women, who were modeling their lives, consciously or not, on a woman named Dorcas, or Tabitha.
