Before sin came along, there were no ”sides,” as in ”your side” and ”my side.” Before sin, all of God’s created beings were with Him After sin, some turned against Him. So for 6,000 years or more now, there have been two sides: God’s side–and Satan’s side. There is no third side. Everyone of us can choose only one of those two sides. Life— or death Good— or evil Light—or darkness Truth— or lies Trust— or doubt Love—or selfishness. Positive— or the negative CHRIST— or Satan. From The Called…the Chosen p.26 by Ken...

Be Careful Before You Accuse: “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” John 8:7 NKJV) Those who are forward in accusing others, and zealous in bringing them to justice, are often in their own lives more guilty than they. Men hate the sinner, while they love the sin. Christ hates the sin, but loves the sinner. This will be the spirit of all who follow Him. Christian love is slow to censure, quick to discern penitence, ready to forgive, to encourage, to set the wanderer in the path of holiness, and to stay his feet therein.

“Hepatitis“ means inflammation of the liver and also refers to a group of viral infections that affect the liver . The most common types are Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C. Viral Hepatitis: A Global Perspective Viral hepatitis is the leading cause of liver cancer and cirrhosis worldwide, and the most common reason for liver transplantation.  Approximately 1 in 12 persons, or around 500 million people, have chronic viral hepatitis and most of them do not know they are infected.  One million people die each year from chronic viral hepatitis. These deaths are primarily from cirrhosis or liver cancer caused by Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C. Hepatitis A : Hepatitis A is an acute liver disease caused by the Hepatitis A virus (HAV), lasting from a few weeks to several months. It does not lead to chronic infection. Transmission: Ingestion of fecal matter, even in microscopic amounts, from close person-to-person contact or ingestion of contaminated food or drinks. Vaccination: Hepatitis A vaccination is recommended for all children starting at age 1 year, travelers to certain countries, and others at risk. Chronic Hepatitis B : Hepatitis B is a liver disease caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV). The Hepatitis B virus is common in many areas across the world, especially Asian and African countries. The Hepatitis B vaccine remains our most effective tool for the prevention of Hepatitis B. Transmission: Contact with infectious blood, semen, and other body fluids from having sex with an infected person, sharing contaminated needles to inject drugs, or from an infected mother to her newborn. Vaccination: Hepatitis B vaccination is recommended for all infants, older children and adolescents who were not vaccinated previously, and adults at risk for HBV infection. Chronic Hepatitis C : Hepatitis C is a liver disease caused by the Hepatitis C virus (HCV). HCV infection sometimes results in an acute illness, but most often becomes a chronic condition that can lead to liver cirrhosis of the  and liver cancer. Many advances occurring in the last decade have drastically changed the prevention and control of Hepatitis C. Transmission: Contact with the blood of an infected person, primarily through sharing contaminated needles to inject drugs. Vaccination: There is no vaccine for Hepatitis C. Hepatitis D: Hepatitis D is a serious liver disease caused by the Hepatitis D virus (HDV) and relies on HBV to replicate. It is uncommon in the United States. Transmission: Contact with infectious blood, similar to how HBV is spread. Vaccination: There is no vaccine for Hepatitis D. Hepatitis E: Hepatitis E is a serious liver disease caused by the Hepatitis E virus (HEV) that usually results in an acute infection. It does not lead to a chronic infection. While rare in the United States, Hepatitis E is common...

Purpose of Life’s Trial/Hebrews 12:10 The Saviour’s words have a message of comfort to those also who are suffering affliction or bereavement. Our sorrows do not spring out of the ground. God “doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.” Lamentations 3:33. When He permits trials and afflictions, it is “for our profit, that we might be partakers of His holiness.” Hebrews 12:10. If received in faith, the trial that seems so bitter and hard to bear will prove a blessing. The cruel blow that blights the joys of earth will be the means of turning our eyes to heaven. How many there are who would never have known Jesus had not sorrow led them to seek comfort in Him! {MB 10.2} The trials of life are God’s workmen, to remove the impurities and roughness from our character. Their hewing, squaring, and chiseling, their burnishing and polishing, is a painful process; it is hard to be pressed down to the grinding wheel. But the stone is brought forth prepared to fill its place in the heavenly temple. Upon no useless material does the Master bestow such careful, thorough work. Only His precious stones are polished after the similitude of a palace. [11]  Excerpt from  {Thoughts from the MB 10.2} [11] online. (page 16 in book) by Ellen G.
