===Main Entries===
A concordance is an alphabetic list of words that appear in the Bible, and where in the Bible each word listed can be found. An ''exhaustive'' concordance is an alphabetic list of ''every'' word that appears in the Bible.

Knowing this it is easy to figure out the basic use of a concordance. Simply look up the word you are interested in, and then see where it appears in the Bible. Most concordances will also supply a little context - that is, the phrase in which the word appears. This is very useful and will help you find a passage that relates to your research without have to look up the reference in the Bible.
===Dictionary Entries===
Some concordances also incorporate an original language dictionary, defining all of the words as they appear in the original manuscripts (in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek). Further, each entry in this dictionary is numbered, and the number appears in the main section of the concordance.

To understand how useful this is, consider the Greek words ''χρηστος'' (chrestos) and ''γενος'' (genos). The first word means, "generous, considerate, or kind" and the second means "type, category, or kind." Both appear under the word "kind" in the concordance, which makes for some extra work on the part of the Bible student.

Thus, if we were interested in the word "kind," as in "generous" rather than "kind" as in "type" it's easy to tell them apart by looking at the dictionary number. From Strong's we have this:


{|align="center"
|-
!Context ||
! Verse
! Dict. entry
|-
|the sea, and gathered of every ''k'' ||   
|align="center"| Mt 13:47
|align="center"| 1085
|-
|Howbeit, this ''k'' goeth not out but ||   
|align="center"| Mt 17:21
|align="center"| 1085
|-
|This ''k'' can come forth by nothing ||   
|align="center"| Mk 9:29
|align="center"| 1085
|-
|for he is ''k'' unto the unthankful ||   
|align="center"| Lk 6:35
|align="center"| 5543
|-
|}


In each case, ''k'' is substituted for ''kind'' to make the entries a little shorter.

It's easier to find the "generous kind" by looking in the number column than by reading the context of each verse. 5543 is ''χρηστος'' (chrestos) and 1085 is ''γενος'' (genos). We can quickly eliminate the "type kind" from our search and concentrate on the "generous kind."

===Now use it!===
Now that you know how to use a concordance, select two topics and find them in a concordance. Here are some suggestions:
*Baptism (baptize, baptized)
*Faith (faithful, belief, believe, believed, believes)
*Salvation (saved, save, redeem, redeemed, redeems)
*Obedience (obey, obeys, obeyed, obedient)

Don't be limited by this list though. There are thousands upon thousands of things you might want to research.

{{/requirement 4c}}

You can use the map created in the previous section as a visual aid for this. Ideally, the presentation should be made to the other members of your Pathfinder club during the club's normal worship/devotional time. If your Explorer group is small, have each individual present a different missionary. If it's large, have them present in teams of two or three.

Another way to make the presentation is by performing a skit based on factual events during the missionary's service.

22 News of this reached the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. 23 When he arrived and saw what the grace of God had done, he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts. 24 He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.

The later chapters of Acts recount Paul's missionary journeys and the founding of many churches in diverse areas of the Roman Empire.

==Compare Acts Church to the Adventist Church==

There are a number of parallels between the growth of the early Christian Church and the development of the the Seventh-day Adventist Church. These include:

1. While the Christian Church developed out of the Jewish faith as a logical extension of the older religion, the early Adventists initially came out of various established Christian churches. The Millerites were nearly all Christians already, as the earliest Christians were nearly all Jews (born or converts) already.

2. Many of the early Adventist ministers and leaders had served in other Christian churches before becoming Adventist Christians. Acts 6:7 tells us "a large number of priests became obedient to the faith."

3. Christians worshipped in Jewish synagogues and the temple until they either were forced out by Jews who rejected Jesus or chose to leave because they were unwelcome. Adventists worshiped within existing churches until they were disfellowshipped or otherwise made to feel unwelcome. For example, as a teenager Ellem G Harman (later White), her family and others were disfellowshipped from the Portland (Maine) Methodist Church for believing in the teachings of William Miller prior to 1844.

4. After a period of focus on Jews, the early Christians turned to evangelizing the Gentiles (those without a Jewish belief system). Adventists started within existing Christian groups but quite early on Adventists were sending missionaries to non-Christian lands.

5. Early Christians struggled with cross cultural issues {{Bible link| Acts 15}} as did Adventists as members joined from around the world.

6. Christians quickly spread out across the known world, deliberately sending missionaries to new regions. Acts mentions believers and churches from modern Spain, Ethiopia, Libya, Italy, Greece, up into Macedonia, Turkey, and even suggests Arabia. Outside the Bible there is a strong tradition that early Christianity spread even further. The disciple Thomas is credited with establishing churches as far away as Southern India. Adventists, from a base in New England, New York and Michigan quickly spread across North America while sending missionaries to the ends of the earth by 1950. Today Adventists can be found in nearly every country and territory in the world, and it is much easier to [http://www.infobarrel.com/Where_Seventh-day_Adventists_Are_Not note the exceptions], mainly very low population places (Falkland Islands, Tokelau), constant war zones (Afghanistan, Somalia) and a handful of places with tight control on religion (Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Bhutan). Even some of the places without an Adventist church have active missionaries working there, so the list continues to shrink.

7. Sacrificial giving was reported in Acts and in the Adventist Church. Barnabas sold a field he owned, and other Christians also sold real estate. Adventists followed the example of early Christians in this area too. For example, in 1850 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiram_Edson Hiram Edson] sold his Port Gibson, NY farm to help support the Sabbatarian movement, and sold a second farm two years later in Port Byron, NY so that James White could purchase a printing press in Rochester.

8. The experience of Hiram Edson immediately following the Great Disappointment is very similar to the experience of two disciples on their journey to Emmaus as recounted in {{Bible link|Luke 24:13-27}}.
{{bquote|

"We started, and while passing through a large field I was stopped about midway of the field. Heaven seemed opened to my view, and I saw distinctly and clearly that instead of our High Priest coming out of the Most Holy of the heavenly sanctuary to come to this earth on the tenth day of the seventh month, at the end of the 2300 days, He for the first time entered on that day the second apartment of that sanctuary; and that He had a work to perform in the Most Holy Place before coming to the earth."<ref>{{cite book | author = [[w:Francis D. Nichol|F. D. Nichol]] | title = The Midnight Cry | page = 458 }}</ref>}}
In both cases, God intervened to directly reveal what really happened when faithful people experienced incredible disappointment after having misinterpreted prophetic events.

===Abuse===
Substance abuse / [[Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book/Outreach/Temperance| temperance]] is a topic well covered within the Pathfinder program, so perhaps fulfilling this requirement should focus on other types of abuse. Adventist Church owned presses have started to put out some good material on dealing with relationship, physical and [http://www.adventistbookcenter.com/understanding-sexual-abuse.html sexual abuse], subjects too long ignored and suppressed in the the church.

Remember that the topic of abuse may hit very close to home for some Pathfinders, and it is important to treat the subject carefully.

This inexpensive little 48 page booklet [http://www.adventistbookcenter.com/understanding-sexual-abuse.html Understanding Sexual Abuse] should be a good conversation starter for a sensitive topic.

===TV and Movies===

What you fill your mind with is what you will become. Violent content, obscene language, and sexual content are not what a Christian should be watching. Violence and sex are parts of life (the Bible contains much violence for example) but glorifying violence and sex for our own entertainment was not God's plan for us. Pathfinders will quickly agree that violent content should be avoided, but is there a place for violence in film?

A wildly popular, but hugely controversial movie [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySknA_zoKoQ The Passion of the Christ] by Mel Gibson would be worth talking about. (The link goes to the crucifixion scene - watch it with the group) Much of the dialog in the movie is direct Bible quotations, yet the violence shown in the film is far beyond the typical Hollywood shoot-em-up movie. While The Passion is controversial, it helps viewers understand how great a sacrifice Christ made for us.

Similarly, how would you tell the story of David and Goliath, Steven's stoning, or the plagues of Egypt without showing violence?

Obscene and sexual content is a much more clear cut no no. There is no reason for a Pathfinder, who is trying to keep a level eye, to watch dirty films or filth on TV.

===Reading===

Talk about what appropriate reading material for a Christian is. Questions to consider...

'''Does the message improve your walk with God? Should everything you read be measured against this test?
'''

While this sounds like a good test, it is impractical. How does reading your math book or the local newspaper improve your walk with God? This leads to a negative test;

'''Does reading this damage my mind or harm my walk with God?'''

With this test, you can now weed out what is harmful.

'''Should we stick to non-fiction or is there a place for reading fiction or even fantasy?'''

Some Pathfinders may jump to condemning fiction and fantasy works completely. Ellen White condemned fiction many times, but we need to understand how she ''defined'' fiction before we impose our modern understanding of the word on her negative statements. She used the term ''fiction'' to apply to works with the following characteristics:

*It is addictive.
*It may be sentimental, or sensational, erotic, profane, or trashy.
*It is escapist, causing the reader to revert to a dream world and to be less able to cope with the problems of everyday life.
*It unfits the mind for serious study, and devotional life.
*It is time consuming and valueless.
(''Pamphlet, Guide to the Teaching of Literature in Seventh-day Adventist Schools. Washington, D.C.: General Conference of Seventh-day Adventist, Department of Education, n.d., p, 7)''.

There are many examples of quality, yet fictional, stories that teach lessons and make for worthwhile reading:

*[http://amzn.to/YPIw5D C.S.Lewis] wrote some epic spiritually uplifting fantasy including the Chronicles of Narnia series.

*Ellen White herself recommended reading ''[http://amzn.to/X43voS Pilgrim's Progress]'' an allegorical work, in ''[http://amzn.to/YNolXd Great Controversy]''(p. 252)

*Jesus used fiction/fantasy frequently, including this obvious example of an allegory {{Bible link| Luke 16:19-31}}

*Can you name some more examples?

An excellent article addressing [http://www.andrews.edu/~tidwell/407egw.htm Should SDAs (or other conservative Christians) read fiction?]

Remember that reading includes not just books and magazines today since many Pathfinders will do most of their reading on the Internet.

{{/requirement 1}}

===Main Entries===
A concordance is an alphabetic list of words that appear in the Bible, and where in the Bible each word listed can be found. An ''exhaustive'' concordance is an alphabetic list of ''every'' word that appears in the Bible.

Knowing this it is easy to figure out the basic use of a concordance. Simply look up the word you are interested in, and then see where it appears in the Bible. Most concordances will also supply a little context - that is, the phrase in which the word appears. This is very useful and will help you find a passage that relates to your research without have to look up the reference in the Bible.
===Dictionary Entries===
Some concordances also incorporate an original language dictionary, defining all of the words as they appear in the original manuscripts (in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek). Further, each entry in this dictionary is numbered, and the number appears in the main section of the concordance.

To understand how useful this is, consider the Greek words ''χρηστος'' (chrestos) and ''γενος'' (genos). The first word means, "generous, considerate, or kind" and the second means "type, category, or kind." Both appear under the word "kind" in the concordance, which makes for some extra work on the part of the Bible student.

Thus, if we were interested in the word "kind," as in "generous" rather than "kind" as in "type" it's easy to tell them apart by looking at the dictionary number. From Strong's we have this:


{|align="center"
|-
!Context ||
! Verse
! Dict. entry
|-
|the sea, and gathered of every ''k'' ||   
|align="center"| Mt 13:47
|align="center"| 1085
|-
|Howbeit, this ''k'' goeth not out but ||   
|align="center"| Mt 17:21
|align="center"| 1085
|-
|This ''k'' can come forth by nothing ||   
|align="center"| Mk 9:29
|align="center"| 1085
|-
|for he is ''k'' unto the unthankful ||   
|align="center"| Lk 6:35
|align="center"| 5543
|-
|}


In each case, ''k'' is substituted for ''kind'' to make the entries a little shorter.

It's easier to find the "generous kind" by looking in the number column than by reading the context of each verse. 5543 is ''χρηστος'' (chrestos) and 1085 is ''γενος'' (genos). We can quickly eliminate the "type kind" from our search and concentrate on the "generous kind."

===Now use it!===
Now that you know how to use a concordance, select two topics and find them in a concordance. Here are some suggestions:
*Baptism (baptize, baptized)
*Faith (faithful, belief, believe, believed, believes)
*Salvation (saved, save, redeem, redeemed, redeems)
*Obedience (obey, obeys, obeyed, obedient)

Don't be limited by this list though. There are thousands upon thousands of things you might want to research.

==Compare Acts Church to the Adventist Church==

There are a number of parallels between the growth of the early Christian Church and the development of the the Seventh-day Adventist Church. These include:

1. While the Christian Church developed out of the Jewish faith as a logical extension of the older religion, the early Adventists initially came out of various established Christian churches. The Millerites were nearly all Christians already, as the earliest Christians were nearly all Jews (born or converts) already.

2. Many of the early Adventist ministers and leaders had served in other Christian churches before becoming Adventist Christians. Acts 6:7 tells us "a large number of priests became obedient to the faith."

3. Christians worshipped in Jewish synagogues and the temple until they either were forced out by Jews who rejected Jesus or chose to leave because they were unwelcome. Adventists worshiped within existing churches until they were disfellowshipped or otherwise made to feel unwelcome. For example, as a teenager Ellem G Harman (later White), her family and others were disfellowshipped from the Portland (Maine) Methodist Church for believing in the teachings of William Miller prior to 1844.

4. After a period of focus on Jews, the early Christians turned to evangelizing the Gentiles (those without a Jewish belief system). Adventists started within existing Christian groups but quite early on Adventists were sending missionaries to non-Christian lands.

5. Early Christians struggled with cross cultural issues {{Bible link| Acts 15}} as did Adventists as members joined from around the world.

6. Christians quickly spread out across the known world, deliberately sending missionaries to new regions. Acts mentions believers and churches from modern Spain, Ethiopia, Libya, Italy, Greece, up into Macedonia, Turkey, and even suggests Arabia. Outside the Bible there is a strong tradition that early Christianity spread even further. The disciple Thomas is credited with establishing churches as far away as Southern India. Adventists, from a base in New England, New York and Michigan quickly spread across North America while sending missionaries to the ends of the earth by 1950. Today Adventists can be found in nearly every country and territory in the world, and it is much easier to [http://www.infobarrel.com/Where_Seventh-day_Adventists_Are_Not note the exceptions], mainly very low population places (Falkland Islands, Tokelau), constant war zones (Afghanistan, Somalia) and a handful of places with tight control on religion (Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Bhutan). Even some of the places without an Adventist church have active missionaries working there, so the list continues to shrink.

7. Sacrificial giving was reported in Acts and in the Adventist Church. Barnabas sold a field he owned, and other Christians also sold real estate. Adventists followed the example of early Christians in this area too. For example, in 1850 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiram_Edson Hiram Edson] sold his Port Gibson, NY farm to help support the Sabbatarian movement, and sold a second farm two years later in Port Byron, NY so that James White could purchase a printing press in Rochester.

8. The experience of Hiram Edson immediately following the Great Disappointment is very similar to the experience of two disciples on their journey to Emmaus as recounted in {{Bible link|Luke 24:13-27}}.

===Abuse===
Substance abuse / [[Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book/Outreach/Temperance| temperance]] is a topic well covered within the Pathfinder program, so perhaps fulfilling this requirement should focus on other types of abuse. Adventist Church owned presses have started to put out some good material on dealing with relationship, physical and [http://www.adventistbookcenter.com/understanding-sexual-abuse.html sexual abuse], subjects too long ignored and suppressed in the the church.

Remember that the topic of abuse may hit very close to home for some Pathfinders, and it is important to treat the subject carefully.

This inexpensive little 48 page booklet [http://www.adventistbookcenter.com/understanding-sexual-abuse.html Understanding Sexual Abuse] should be a good conversation starter for a sensitive topic.

===TV and Movies===

What you fill your mind with is what you will become. Violent content, obscene language, and sexual content are not what a Christian should be watching. Violence and sex are parts of life (the Bible contains much violence for example) but glorifying violence and sex for our own entertainment was not God's plan for us. Pathfinders will quickly agree that violent content should be avoided, but is there a place for violence in film?

A wildly popular, but hugely controversial movie [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySknA_zoKoQ The Passion of the Christ] by Mel Gibson would be worth talking about. (The link goes to the crucifixion scene - watch it with the group) Much of the dialog in the movie is direct Bible quotations, yet the violence shown in the film is far beyond the typical Hollywood shoot-em-up movie. While The Passion is controversial, it helps viewers understand how great a sacrifice Christ made for us.

Similarly, how would you tell the story of David and Goliath, Steven's stoning, or the plagues of Egypt without showing violence?

Obscene and sexual content is a much more clear cut no no. There is no reason for a Pathfinder, who is trying to keep a level eye, to watch dirty films or filth on TV.

===Reading===

Talk about what appropriate reading material for a Christian is. Questions to consider...

'''Does the message improve your walk with God? Should everything you read be measured against this test?
'''

While this sounds like a good test, it is impractical. How does reading your math book or the local newspaper improve your walk with God? This leads to a negative test;

'''Does reading this damage my mind or harm my walk with God?'''

With this test, you can now weed out what is harmful.

'''Should we stick to non-fiction or is there a place for reading fiction or even fantasy?'''

Some Pathfinders may jump to condemning fiction and fantasy works completely. Ellen White condemned fiction many times, but we need to understand how she ''defined'' fiction before we impose our modern understanding of the word on her negative statements. She used the term ''fiction'' to apply to works with the following characteristics:

*It is addictive.
*It may be sentimental, or sensational, erotic, profane, or trashy.
*It is escapist, causing the reader to revert to a dream world and to be less able to cope with the problems of everyday life.
*It unfits the mind for serious study, and devotional life.
*It is time consuming and valueless.
(''Pamphlet, Guide to the Teaching of Literature in Seventh-day Adventist Schools. Washington, D.C.: General Conference of Seventh-day Adventist, Department of Education, n.d., p, 7)''.

There are many examples of quality, yet fictional, stories that teach lessons and make for worthwhile reading:

*[http://amzn.to/YPIw5D C.S.Lewis] wrote some epic spiritually uplifting fantasy including the Chronicles of Narnia series.

*Ellen White herself recommended reading ''[http://amzn.to/X43voS Pilgrim's Progress]'' an allegorical work, in ''[http://amzn.to/YNolXd Great Controversy]''(p. 252)

*Jesus used fiction/fantasy frequently, including this obvious example of an allegory {{Bible link| Luke 16:19-31}}

*Can you name some more examples?

An excellent article addressing [http://www.andrews.edu/~tidwell/407egw.htm Should SDAs (or other conservative Christians) read fiction?]

Remember that reading includes not just books and magazines today since many Pathfinders will do most of their reading on the Internet.

{{/requirement 1}}

===Main Entries===
A concordance is an alphabetic list of words that appear in the Bible, and where in the Bible each word listed can be found. An ''exhaustive'' concordance is an alphabetic list of ''every'' word that appears in the Bible.

Knowing this it is easy to figure out the basic use of a concordance. Simply look up the word you are interested in, and then see where it appears in the Bible. Most concordances will also supply a little context - that is, the phrase in which the word appears. This is very useful and will help you find a passage that relates to your research without have to look up the reference in the Bible.
===Dictionary Entries===
Some concordances also incorporate an original language dictionary, defining all of the words as they appear in the original manuscripts (in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek). Further, each entry in this dictionary is numbered, and the number appears in the main section of the concordance.

To understand how useful this is, consider the Greek words ''χρηστος'' (chrestos) and ''γενος'' (genos). The first word means, "generous, considerate, or kind" and the second means "type, category, or kind." Both appear under the word "kind" in the concordance, which makes for some extra work on the part of the Bible student.

Thus, if we were interested in the word "kind," as in "generous" rather than "kind" as in "type" it's easy to tell them apart by looking at the dictionary number. From Strong's we have this:


{|align="center"
|-
!Context ||
! Verse
! Dict. entry
|-
|the sea, and gathered of every ''k'' ||   
|align="center"| Mt 13:47
|align="center"| 1085
|-
|Howbeit, this ''k'' goeth not out but ||   
|align="center"| Mt 17:21
|align="center"| 1085
|-
|This ''k'' can come forth by nothing ||   
|align="center"| Mk 9:29
|align="center"| 1085
|-
|for he is ''k'' unto the unthankful ||   
|align="center"| Lk 6:35
|align="center"| 5543
|-
|}


In each case, ''k'' is substituted for ''kind'' to make the entries a little shorter.

It's easier to find the "generous kind" by looking in the number column than by reading the context of each verse. 5543 is ''χρηστος'' (chrestos) and 1085 is ''γενος'' (genos). We can quickly eliminate the "type kind" from our search and concentrate on the "generous kind."

===Now use it!===
Now that you know how to use a concordance, select two topics and find them in a concordance. Here are some suggestions:
*Baptism (baptize, baptized)
*Faith (faithful, belief, believe, believed, believes)
*Salvation (saved, save, redeem, redeemed, redeems)
*Obedience (obey, obeys, obeyed, obedient)

Don't be limited by this list though. There are thousands upon thousands of things you might want to research.

The later chapters of Acts recount Paul's missionary journeys and the founding of many churches in diverse areas of the Roman Empire.

==Compare Acts Church to the Adventist Church==

There are a number of parallels between the growth of the early Christian Church and the development of the the Seventh-day Adventist Church. These include:

1. While the Christian Church developed out of the Jewish faith as a logical extension of the older religion, the early Adventists initially came out of various established Christian churches. The Millerites were nearly all Christians already, as the earliest Christians were nearly all Jews (born or converts) already.

2. Many of the early Adventist ministers and leaders had served in other Christian churches before becoming Adventist Christians. Acts 6:7 tells us "a large number of priests became obedient to the faith."

3. Christians worshipped in Jewish synagogues and the temple until they either were forced out by Jews who rejected Jesus or chose to leave because they were unwelcome. Adventists worshiped within existing churches until they were disfellowshipped or otherwise made to feel unwelcome. For example, as a teenager Ellem G Harman (later White), her family and others were disfellowshipped from the Portland (Maine) Methodist Church for believing in the teachings of William Miller prior to 1844.

4. After a period of focus on Jews, the early Christians turned to evangelizing the Gentiles (those without a Jewish belief system). Adventists started within existing Christian groups but quite early on Adventists were sending missionaries to non-Christian lands.

5. Early Christians struggled with cross cultural issues {{Bible link| Acts 15}} as did Adventists as members joined from around the world.

Some concordances also incorporate an original language dictionary, defining all of the words as they appear in the original manuscripts (in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek). Further, each entry in this dictionary is numbered, and the number appears in the main section of the concordance.

To understand how useful this is, consider the Greek words ''χρηστος'' (chrestos) and ''γενος'' (genos). The first word means, "generous, considerate, or kind" and the second means "type, category, or kind." Both appear under the word "kind" in the concordance, which makes for some extra work on the part of the Bible student.

Thus, if we were interested in the word "kind," as in "generous" rather than "kind" as in "type" it's easy to tell them apart by looking at the dictionary number. From Strong's we have this:

In each case, ''k'' is substituted for ''kind'' to make the entries a little shorter.

It's easier to find the "generous kind" by looking in the number column than by reading the context of each verse. 5543 is ''χρηστος'' (chrestos) and 1085 is ''γενος'' (genos). We can quickly eliminate the "type kind" from our search and concentrate on the "generous kind."

*Norma Youngberg - Asia (Borneo)

You can read about many of these people on Wikipedia, or in the SDA Encyclopedia (part of the Bible Commentary series). There are many books written by or about missionaries and their experiences. Check your Adventist church or Adventist school library or an Adventist Book Center for books about missions in the stated time period.

{{/requirement 4b}}

Print this map out (or use one in the Explorer Journal). Then color the countries where the selected missionaries served. Use a different color for each missionary.

[[File:White World Map Blank.png|800px]]

== ==
{{/requirement 4c}}

You can use the map created in the previous section as a visual aid for this. Ideally, the presentation should be made to the other members of your Pathfinder club during the club's normal worship/devotional time. If your Explorer group is small, have each individual present a different missionary. If it's large, have them present in teams of two or three.

Another way to make the presentation is by performing a skit based on factual events during the missionary's service.

==Study the Growth of Christianity in Acts==
Recommend reading the linked chapters and portions of chapters, with particular attention to the verses reproduced here:

{{Bible link| Acts 2}}
{{Bible verse
|book=Acts
|chapter=2
|verse=40
|text=
With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.
}}

{{Bible verse
|book=Acts
|chapter=2
|verse=46, 47
|text=
Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
}}

{{Bible link| Acts 4}}

{{Bible verse
|book=Acts
|chapter=4
|verse=4, 36
|text=
But many who heard the message believed; so the number of men who believed grew to about five thousand.

Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means “son of encouragement”), 37 sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles’ feet.
}}

{{Bible link| Acts 6:1-7}}
{{Bible verse
|book=Acts
|chapter=6
|verse=7
|text=
So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.
}}

{{Bible link| Acts 9:31}}

{{Bible verse
|book=Acts
|chapter=9
|verse=31
|text=
Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria enjoyed a time of peace and was strengthened. Living in the fear of the Lord and encouraged by the Holy Spirit, it increased in numbers.
}}

{{Bible link| Acts 10:34-38}}
{{Bible verse
|book=Acts
|chapter=10
|verse=34-38
|text=
Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism 35 but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right. 36 You know the message God sent to the people of Israel, announcing the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.
}}

{{Bible link| Acts 11:19-24}}

{{Bible verse
|book=Acts
|chapter=11
|verse=19-24
|text=
Now those who had been scattered by the persecution that broke out when Stephen was killed traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, spreading the word only among Jews. 20 Some of them, however, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, went to Antioch and began to speak to Greeks also, telling them the good news about the Lord Jesus. 21 The Lord’s hand was with them, and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord.

22 News of this reached the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. 23 When he arrived and saw what the grace of God had done, he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts. 24 He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.
}}

The later chapters of Acts recount Paul's missionary journeys and the founding of many churches in diverse areas of the Roman Empire.

==Compare Acts Church to the Adventist Church==

There are a number of parallels between the growth of the early Christian Church and the development of the the Seventh-day Adventist Church. These include:

1. While the Christian Church developed out of the Jewish faith as a logical extension of the older religion, the early Adventists initially came out of various established Christian churches. The Millerites were nearly all Christians already, as the earliest Christians were nearly all Jews (born or converts) already.

2. Many of the early Adventist ministers and leaders had served in other Christian churches before becoming Adventist Christians. Acts 6:7 tells us "a large number of priests became obedient to the faith."

3. Christians worshipped in Jewish synagogues and the temple until they either were forced out by Jews who rejected Jesus or chose to leave because they were unwelcome. Adventists worshiped within existing churches until they were disfellowshipped or otherwise made to feel unwelcome. For example, as a teenager Ellem G Harman (later White), her family and others were disfellowshipped from the Portland (Maine) Methodist Church for believing in the teachings of William Miller prior to 1844.

4. After a period of focus on Jews, the early Christians turned to evangelizing the Gentiles (those without a Jewish belief system). Adventists started within existing Christian groups but quite early on Adventists were sending missionaries to non-Christian lands.

5. Early Christians struggled with cross cultural issues {{Bible link| Acts 15}} as did Adventists as members joined from around the world.

6. Christians quickly spread out across the known world, deliberately sending missionaries to new regions. Acts mentions believers and churches from modern Spain, Ethiopia, Libya, Italy, Greece, up into Macedonia, Turkey, and even suggests Arabia. Outside the Bible there is a strong tradition that early Christianity spread even further. The disciple Thomas is credited with establishing churches as far away as Southern India. Adventists, from a base in New England, New York and Michigan quickly spread across North America while sending missionaries to the ends of the earth by 1950. Today Adventists can be found in nearly every country and territory in the world, and it is much easier to [http://www.infobarrel.com/Where_Seventh-day_Adventists_Are_Not note the exceptions], mainly very low population places (Falkland Islands, Tokelau), constant war zones (Afghanistan, Somalia) and a handful of places with tight control on religion (Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Bhutan). Even some of the places without an Adventist church have active missionaries working there, so the list continues to shrink.

7. Sacrificial giving was reported in Acts and in the Adventist Church. Barnabas sold a field he owned, and other Christians also sold real estate. Adventists followed the example of early Christians in this area too. For example, in 1850 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiram_Edson Hiram Edson] sold his Port Gibson, NY farm to help support the Sabbatarian movement, and sold a second farm two years later in Port Byron, NY so that James White could purchase a printing press in Rochester.

8. The experience of Hiram Edson immediately following the Great Disappointment is very similar to the experience of two disciples on their journey to Emmaus as recounted in {{Bible link|Luke 24:13-27}}.
{{bquote|

"We started, and while passing through a large field I was stopped about midway of the field. Heaven seemed opened to my view, and I saw distinctly and clearly that instead of our High Priest coming out of the Most Holy of the heavenly sanctuary to come to this earth on the tenth day of the seventh month, at the end of the 2300 days, He for the first time entered on that day the second apartment of that sanctuary; and that He had a work to perform in the Most Holy Place before coming to the earth."<ref>{{cite book | author = [[w:Francis D. Nichol|F. D. Nichol]] | title = The Midnight Cry | page = 458 }}</ref>}}
In both cases, God intervened to directly reveal what really happened when faithful people experienced incredible disappointment after having misinterpreted prophetic events.

===Abuse===
Substance abuse / [[Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book/Outreach/Temperance| temperance]] is a topic well covered within the Pathfinder program, so perhaps fulfilling this requirement should focus on other types of abuse. Adventist Church owned presses have started to put out some good material on dealing with relationship, physical and [http://www.adventistbookcenter.com/understanding-sexual-abuse.html sexual abuse], subjects too long ignored and suppressed in the the church.

Remember that the topic of abuse may hit very close to home for some Pathfinders, and it is important to treat the subject carefully.

This inexpensive little 48 page booklet [http://www.adventistbookcenter.com/understanding-sexual-abuse.html Understanding Sexual Abuse] should be a good conversation starter for a sensitive topic.

===TV and Movies===

What you fill your mind with is what you will become. Violent content, obscene language, and sexual content are not what a Christian should be watching. Violence and sex are parts of life (the Bible contains much violence for example) but glorifying violence and sex for our own entertainment was not God's plan for us. Pathfinders will quickly agree that violent content should be avoided, but is there a place for violence in film?

A wildly popular, but hugely controversial movie [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySknA_zoKoQ The Passion of the Christ] by Mel Gibson would be worth talking about. (The link goes to the crucifixion scene - watch it with the group) Much of the dialog in the movie is direct Bible quotations, yet the violence shown in the film is far beyond the typical Hollywood shoot-em-up movie. While The Passion is controversial, it helps viewers understand how great a sacrifice Christ made for us.

Similarly, how would you tell the story of David and Goliath, Steven's stoning, or the plagues of Egypt without showing violence?

Obscene and sexual content is a much more clear cut no no. There is no reason for a Pathfinder, who is trying to keep a level eye, to watch dirty films or filth on TV.

===Reading===

Talk about what appropriate reading material for a Christian is. Questions to consider...

'''Does the message improve your walk with God? Should everything you read be measured against this test?
'''

While this sounds like a good test, it is impractical. How does reading your math book or the local newspaper improve your walk with God? This leads to a negative test;

'''Does reading this damage my mind or harm my walk with God?'''

With this test, you can now weed out what is harmful.

'''Should we stick to non-fiction or is there a place for reading fiction or even fantasy?'''

Some Pathfinders may jump to condemning fiction and fantasy works completely. Ellen White condemned fiction many times, but we need to understand how she ''defined'' fiction before we impose our modern understanding of the word on her negative statements. She used the term ''fiction'' to apply to works with the following characteristics:

*It is addictive.
*It may be sentimental, or sensational, erotic, profane, or trashy.
*It is escapist, causing the reader to revert to a dream world and to be less able to cope with the problems of everyday life.
*It unfits the mind for serious study, and devotional life.
*It is time consuming and valueless.
(''Pamphlet, Guide to the Teaching of Literature in Seventh-day Adventist Schools. Washington, D.C.: General Conference of Seventh-day Adventist, Department of Education, n.d., p, 7)''.

There are many examples of quality, yet fictional, stories that teach lessons and make for worthwhile reading:

*[http://amzn.to/YPIw5D C.S.Lewis] wrote some epic spiritually uplifting fantasy including the Chronicles of Narnia series.

*Ellen White herself recommended reading ''[http://amzn.to/X43voS Pilgrim's Progress]'' an allegorical work, in ''[http://amzn.to/YNolXd Great Controversy]''(p. 252)

*Jesus used fiction/fantasy frequently, including this obvious example of an allegory {{Bible link| Luke 16:19-31}}

*Can you name some more examples?

An excellent article addressing [http://www.andrews.edu/~tidwell/407egw.htm Should SDAs (or other conservative Christians) read fiction?]

Remember that reading includes not just books and magazines today since many Pathfinders will do most of their reading on the Internet.
