O movimento adventista no oceano da história A igreja nasceu pequena. Surgiu dos escombros de uma grande decepção. Desde seu início e ao longo do tempo, alguns previram seu fracasso e até mesmo torceram por isso. No entanto, outros acreditaram em seu triunfo e trabalharam para concretizá-lo. Confiantes na direção divina, homens e mulheres investiram nessa causa tudo o que possuíram-tempo, bens e até a própria vida. Se em algum momento a embarcação adventista pareceu vacilar no mar da incerteza que assolava o mundo, por outro lado, pairou sobre todos a certeza de que a Mão estava ao leme, conduzindo-a ao rumo seguro. A igreja cresceu e se estendeu pelo mundo. Por isso, não podemos ignorar suas origens e história. Vale a pena conhecer as dificuldades do passado e extrair lições para o futuro, com a certeza de que a mão de Deus continua ao leme.
O Senhor logo vem! Desde os tempos mais remotos, quando se revelou ao ser humano o plano da salvação, a esperança de retornar ao paraíso perdido tem sido nutrida por todo servo do Senhor. A ocasião em que Deus intervirá na história para interromper o avanço do mal e estabelecer Seu eterno e esplendoroso reino tem sido almejada pelos corações sedentos de mudança. A própria natureza clama e geme aguardando o grande dia da redenção. Quando esteve fisicamente entre nós, Cristo prometeu que voltaria. Pronunciada pelos lábios Daquele que é a própria verdade, essa promessa não pode falhar. O Rei do Universo virá! Virá para resgatar o povo que adquiriu com Seu sangue, para restaurar o planeta que o pecado manchou e instituir a paz de que o mundo tanto necessita. Ele virá, e já podemos ouvir os Seus passos! Este livro reúne os mais belos, inspiradores e incisivos textos de Ellen G. White sobre os acontecimentos relacionados com o retorno de Jesus. A finalidade da obra é preparar seus leitores para "as coisas que em breve devem acontecer" (Apocalipse 1:1). Escritora de outros clássicos sobre profecias bíblicas, como O Grande Conflito e Eventos Finais, a autora deste devocional teve um ministério frutífero também como pregadora e conselheira. Uma das notas tônicas de seu trabalho sempre foi a segunda vinda de Cristo em glória e majestade.
Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), are a set of more than 30 health disorders associated with both the temporomandibular joints and the muscles and tissues of the jaw. TMDs have a range of causes and often co-occur with a number of overlapping medical conditions, including headaches, fibromyalgia, back pain and irritable bowel syndrome. TMDs can be transient or long-lasting and may be associated with problems that range from an occasional click of the jaw to severe chronic pain involving the entire orofacial region. Everyday activities, including eating and talking, are often difficult for people with TMDs, and many of them suffer with severe chronic pain due to this condition. Common social activities that most people take for granted, such as smiling, laughing, and kissing, can become unbearable. This dysfunction and pain, and its associated suffering, take a terrible toll on affected individuals, their families, and their friends. Individuals with TMDs often feel stigmatized and invalidated in their experiences by their family, friends, and, often, the health care community. Misjudgments and a failure to understand the nature and depths of TMDs can have severe consequences - more pain and more suffering - for individuals, their families and our society. Temporomandibular Disorders: Priorities for Research and Care calls on a number of stakeholders - across medicine, dentistry, and other fields - to improve the health and well-being of individuals with a TMD. This report addresses the current state of knowledge regarding TMD research, education and training, safety and efficacy of clinical treatments of TMDs, and burden and costs associated with TMDs. The recommendations of Temporomandibular Disorders focus on the actions that many organizations and agencies should take to improve TMD research and care and improve the overall health and well-being of individuals with a TMD.
