❤️📖 FROM THE HEART | 07.03.2026 | The Great Echo | Pastor Erton Köhler
We live in a noisy age, and perhaps you are aware of it. News, entertainment, commerce, and the digital world fill every space. Yet we must not forget that there is more. Every person—and there are many of us—is like a mirror; every heart sends something out into this noisy world. We all give something of ourselves, but what we send into the world is what truly matters.
We can become an echo of God or an echo of the world. Scripture tells us what we should be. Culture says one thing; Scripture says another.
John 17:17 says, “Your word is truth,” yet the world spreads loud lies from every direction. Instead of asking, “What is trending?” we should ask, “What is true?” Influence and reach should not matter more than faithfulness. Set your heart on heaven. Turn down the volume of the world. Let God’s Word shape your thinking. Become a clear echo of the King.
About the series
From the Heart is a weekly devotional series in which Pastor Köhler reflects on what it means to be rooted in the Word of the Bible and focused on mission, together and personally. Each episode is based on the four pillars of the strategic plan of the Seventh-day Adventist Church: fellowship with God, identity in Christ, unity through the Holy Spirit, and mission for all.
The series connects biblical faith with everyday life and shares brief reflections and insights into how God works through Adventists around the world.
Pastor Erton Köhler is president of the General Conference of the worldwide Seventh-day Adventist Church.
