Welcome to the website of
Signs of the Times magazine
Australian / New Zealand edition.
In this month's Signs:
The theme of love permeates Australian
country music singer Troy Cassar-Daley’s latest album I Love This Place,
with songs about love for his country,
romantic love, as well as his being in
love with life.
With the cold and flu season upon us, it’s time to look
at ways to boost your immune system. By building
up resistance, your body will be better prepared to
defend itself when the dreaded winter bugs arrive.
Here's five practical steps
you can take to help win the fight this winter.
By any standard, Avy Curley
lived an extraordinary
life and one worth noting.
She mothered 18
children, received the Medal of
the Order of Australia, founded the Bundi
Club (where Aboriginal people still
meet, serve and learn) and is proficient
in Indigenous artwork.
All parents should apply the following
eight suggestions to their relationships
with their children, but they are
especially important for dealing with
children who have special needs.
When you think of
Baptists, you probably think of
baptism by immersion. When you hear the name
Catholics, you may think of the virgin Mary or
the Mass. Denominations are generally known for
their distinct teachings or practices.
So when you hear the name Seventh-day Adventist,
what teaching pops into your mind? Most people
say, “Ah, the Sabbath!” So what convinced me to keep the
Sabbath on the seventh day?
Next to William Miller himself, Fitch
became one of the most prominent
ministers in the Millerite
movement. In January 1843, he
launched his own Millerite periodical
with the title, The Second
Advent of Christ. This magazine
helps us trace his experience as
one of the hundreds of ministers
in many denominations
who focused on Miller’s message
of Christ’s return.

The Secret of a
Happy Marriage
When David and I married at the
ages of 24 and 23, respectively, we had
both given our lives over to God’s leading
and we were blessed to have the
wise counsel of some older friends.
Implementing their advice and following
God’s leading has made it possible
for us to have a wonderful marriage. I
would like to share some of the secrets
of our success.
Living God’s Way
Being a Christian is a great lifestyle. The Bible
gives many principles for healthful living for
the body, mind and emotions.
When Jesus Reviews Your Life
A judgment displaying the power
and splendour described by Daniel
would terrify anyone facing such a
court. But our terror is eased when we
learn that we have an Advocate in that
court.
Near Miss in Thailand
Humidity was near 100 per
cent as I walked a densely
vegetated jungle path in
Thailand, near the border
with Myanmar (formerly
Burma). Our trek was taking us to an
orphanage for Burmese Karen children. As darkness encroached, I asked my
guide, “How soon will we get there?”
“It’s a fair distance yet,” he replied.
My thoughts raced. It will be pitch
black by the time we get there!
An Unforgettable Day
I have just returned to my cabin and tucked
my mosquito net around me. I’ve never
been one to journal, but today’s events are
unshakeable and, alone in this country and
in my cabin (except for that elephant I can
see just outside my window), I need a place to
share and a way to remember . . .
How Do You Compare?
To yank your parents’ chain,
try throwing the accusation
that they have a favourite
child. First, you can expect
a gasp, then some sputtering.
Their eyes dart back and
forth as beads of sweat appear on their
foreheads. Because even if they didn’t
have a favourite before, now they think
about it,
. . . PLUS our regular Signs columns! |
