Ask Norm! By Norman S. Edwards From SVM - Winter 2014 - 1 December 22, 2013 Dear Norm, In the beginning when He created the heavens and the earth, what was the Holy One of Israel thinking? What vision guides Him, then, now, and forward, driving all His works, fueling His passion? Let any person or group with knowledge of the divine King give an answer, regardless of the opinions of others! Every...
Ask Norm! By Norman S. Edwards From SVM - Fall 2014 - 3 Hi Norman, Shabbat Shalom. Thanks for your Shepherd’s Voice. Have you noticed something about the 24 elders in the book of Revelation? In Revelation 5:8-10, the four living creatures and 24 elders sang a new song: “Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood...
Ask Norm! By Norman S. Edwards From SVM - Fall 2014 - 2 July 19, 2014 Dear brothers & sisters at S.V.M.: I pray everyone is having a peaceful Sabbath day. Here in Coral, Michigan, it was 75°and sunshine, and I spent the majority of my Sabbath sitting outside, reading my new Spring 2014 issue of Shepherd’s Voice. I love the cover— the little girl, all the flowers going down the path, playing,...
Ask Norm! By Norman S. Edwards From SVM - Fall 2014 - 1 Dear Norm, Shalom v’Ahav (Peace and Love), May this letter reach you and yours in the presence of angels and filled with the Ruach ha’Qodesh (the Holy Spirit).

Ask Norm! By Norman S. Edwards From SVM - Summer 2014 - 3 Hi Norman, I’ve read the “divorce and remarriage” article which helped me to understand what God wanted in a married life. Thanks for the article. Now, I’m writing this question looking for answers in the Bible related to my family life. Please respond to me at the earliest as a fellow brother in Christ since I’m in dire need of getting...
Ask Norm! By Norman S. Edwards From SVM - Summer 2014 - 2 August 6, 2014 To Shepherd’s Voice: Just a quick note to let you know that I admire and appreciate the quality of your printed articles and the elegance of the fine paper on which they are printed—nothing cheap looking or cost-saving economy about it as many periodicals have done.

Ask Norm! By Norman S. Edwards From SVM - Summer 2014 - 1 January 8, 2014 Dear Norm and Shepherd’s Voice, I finally got around to rereading Jim B. Peterson’s article on the Significance of Barley and Wheat. I also reread the rest of the articles and I would have to say this has been the best issue of Shepherd’s Voice ever! There is one point at the end of Jim B. Peterson’s article that I don’t...
Ask Norm! By Norman S. Edwards From SVM - Spring 2014 Once again, I will say, “Facebook is friendship with the world.” Well, thank you for taking the time to listen. I look forward to the next edition of Shepherd’s Voice.If one is tempted to sin using Facebook, then one should stay away from it. For whatever reason, some people, rather than work to improve their marriages, start affairs on...
Ask Norm! By Norman S. Edwards From SVM - Spring 2014 I can’t agree with you when it comes to the Boy Scouts, Norm. I mentioned the Boy Scout Memorial in a previous letter and I am most serious when I say you should check it out. The memorial is found in Wash. DC on 15th street between E Street and Constitution Ave. The Boy Scouts of America was founded by a Freemason named Daniel Carter Beard....
Ask Norm! By Norman S. Edwards From SVM - Spring 2014 Although there are some places where the Bible is mistranslated and there are also some outright corruptions, for the most part, God gets His message across.
