New website for Adventists launched
In January Life Assurance Ministries launched a new website, BibleStudiesForAdventists.com. This website features commentary on the Sabbath School Bible Study Guides, formerly known as "The Quarterly". Authors including Dale Ratzlaff, Mark Martin, Colleen Tinker, Richard Tinker, Chris Lee, Phil Harris, Steve Pitcher, Roy Tinker, Brian Cain, Martin Carey, and Gabriel Proksch have written daily commentary for each week's lessons.
The studies for the first quarter of 2009 were entitled The Prophetic Gift, and their purpose was to endorse Ellen White as a true prophet of God. The commentary on our new website exposes the underlying assumptions and non-biblical positions taken in the Sabbath School lessons and presents the biblical counterpoint to the Adventist arguments.
The commentary for the second quarter's lessons are currently being added to the same website. The title of the second quarter's studies is The Christian Life.

Praying for provision
Most of us have experienced financial loss because of the economic slowdown, and this ministry is no exception. We have been at financial rock bottom before, but with God's blessing and your liberality the need was supplied. With our expanded mailing list our needs are great.
Added to our normal budget are the projected expenses for this summer's Tour of Encouragement. We have prayed that God would open new doors of ministry so that we might proclaim the simple gospel of God's grace in Christ by faith alone. Right now we stand before an open door. We plan by faith to walk through this open door even though we do not clearly see from where God's provision may come.
From time to time Life Assurance Ministries has been blessed with large donations that met our need. However, regular gifts from many people are just as important. Would you join us in prayer that God will supply the need? We are praying that God will rise up more partners with us in ministry: prayer partners, contributing writers, and financial partners.
We are praying for you. Would you pray for us?
