In forthcoming issues of Adventist Today, we will publish those entries that directly address the question in the most straight-forward and direct manner and will pay for the best one according to how many entries come in--the more entries, the higher the reward for the top submission. Entries from those under twenty-five years of age will receive special consideration. Send your version of “One-Minute Adventism” to editor@atoday.com.
