The dreams and visions of table 6.
> We have a dream that the Seventh-day Adventist movement would be a movement of disciples, each member having the opportunity to be discipled, and equipped for the privilege of discipling another.
> It is our dream, our vision that Seventh-day Adventists would grow a stronger worldwide reputation as healers; and that when I tell someone I'm a Seventh-day Adventist Christian there is no need to apologize.
> Our dreams and visions include an Adventist church so filled with love for Jesus that there is no need for evangelism by guilt.
> We have a dream that our church—each of us—would consider our possessions not our own, but as belonging to Jesus and only lent to us, and that we would be willing to give them up in His holy name.

oh man... these are good dreams
"...that when I tell someone I'm a Seventh-day Adventist Christian there is no need to apologize." I probably could have quoted this whole thing--but this one jumped out at me.
Alex Bryan (old pastor at Southern, but new pastor at Walla Walla) gave a sermon on Sabbath that had some similar points. Well, he was basically saying that this IS what Adventism was meant to look like. You can't (or I should say "shouldn't) have one without the other. Service--REAL service--should be a NATURAL part of our faith.
Anyway, this is good Kessia. And I want to live it instead of being pissed that other people aren't. That's all I'm tryin to say :)
