Writings at Pine Knoll

Although much of what we have to offer on our site is RealAudio, we hope to provide more and more written resources. In this “writings” section of our site you'll find links for material from Graham Maxwell, a brand new section of works by Jonathan Gallagher, and also selections from Ellen White (focussing on articles referred to in Pine Knoll materials).

And speaking of brand new materials, please visit "things you may find helpful," a new page we've added for great resources from folks outside of Pine Knoll.

The Scourge of Theological Gossip

The scourge of theological gossip seems to be reaching epidemic proportions. More and more unverified rumors are finding their way into print, onto television, even onto the world wide web. How should we handle a situation where we hear some disturbing news of heresy? Graham takes a look at this question and it's cosmic implications in "The Scourge of Theological Gossip."

Servants or Friends

Some of the greatest cruelty has been perpetrated in the name of religion. Everything seems to depend on the kind of god people worship. Arbitrary, tyrannical gods tend to produce followers like themselves. Millions who see no sense in worshipping such a god, have simply turned away.

What kind of neighbors would a friendly god produce—a god who values nothing higher than freedom and individuality, a god who would rather treat his followers not as servants but as friends? Graham answers this and many other questions in his book, “Servants or Friends?”

A prolific Christian writer, Ellen White produced works which have been sold by the millions, and translated into over 135 languages. Her major contribution was her emphasis that the Bible must be viewed as a whole, relating all its parts to its one central theme — the "great controversy" over the character and government of God.
