You might be wondering: Does social media use really rewire kids’ brains?

This is what research says in the comments.

Why do our most beautiful moments sometimes leave us longing for more?

The full reflection in the comments invites readers to consider what every holy longing is pointing toward.

Purity culture often tried to protect young people, but for many it also created shame, fear, imbalance, and confusion about identity, relationships, and God.

The full reflection in the comments is worth reading slowly, especially for parents, mentors, and anyone guiding young people today.

David’s journey to Jesus came with painful losses: separation from family, rejection from community, and later exclusion from a Christian congregation that could not understand his Jewish identity.

In this testimony, Reinaldo W. Siqueira shares how David and his wife eventually found a Jewish-Adventist community where they were welcomed, baptized, and given a spiritual home.

What followed was an unexpected family reunion that brought healing in a way David never imagined.

The full story in the comments is a moving reminder that God can restore more than we thought was gone.

When screen time feels out of control, many families respond with lectures, frustration, or panic.

Willie and Elaine Oliver offer a different approach: be present, choose words wisely, and guard the heart. Their counsel reminds parents that digital boundaries are not mainly about control; they are about making space for meals, worship, conversation, laughter, and relationships that help faith grow.

The full column in the comments offers a hopeful word for parents who want to reconnect before the drift becomes deeper.

Revelation 12 says there was “war in heaven.” But when did that conflict happen, and why does the timing matter?

Shane Anderson argues that the passage points strongly to a post-cross phase of the war, after Christ’s death, resurrection, and ascension. For him, this understanding highlights Satan’s character, strengthens confidence in the cross, and reminds believers that evil’s territory is shrinking.

The full column in the comments walks through the biblical argument and why it matters for Adventists today.
