| James White, started his career as a school teacher until God changed his life |
James White wrote of his young adult days, "At the age of twenty I had buried myself in the spirit of study and school teaching and had lain down the cross...I loved this world more than I loved Christ and the next, and was worshiping education instead of the God of heaven."
It was in this state of mind that James White set his course for life. Nothing appeared to be more important to him than having an education and developing a bright intellectual mind. But despite all of his academic and intellectual perseverance, God had different plans that would dramatically alter the course of James' life leading him to exchange worldly wisdom for the wisdom of God (click on title to hear podcast).
This week Jesse Sias gives a brief biographical sketch of one of the pioneers of the Seventh-day Adventist church. Like many of his Adventist contemporaries, James White faced many challenges and struggles in accepting God's calling in his life. The good news is that if God could use a man like James White, he can use people like you and I.
Also in this podcast Jesse extends a heartfelt thank you to listeners, guests, and all who have contributed their time and talents to WAA.
