It is time to announce our theme for 2021. In line with the General Conference convention, our focus will be \u201cFaithful.\u201d Unlike recent years, we\u2019ve decided not to have sub-themes for each of our six annual issues. This is good news for our writers: You are free to submit an article on any subject of your choosing. Take the opportunity to share a testimony, a study, a reflection, or a poem from a Christ-centered and Bible-based perspective.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFaithful\u201d is our overarching theme for the year, but examining this glorious, powerful word is limitless. It spans the grace and truth of our Lord God and our responsive relationship with Him. Faithful then refers first to God. Like Jeremiah, we are living in troublesome times, but as the prophet humbly confessed at Israel\u2019s lowest moment, we, too, look to our Lord:<\/p>\n<p>Through the Lord\u2019s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning. Great is Your faithfulness (Lamentations 3:22, 23, NKJV).<\/p>\n<p>But <em>faithful<\/em> refers to us too. Having experienced God\u2019s faithfulness in Jesus Christ, we must respond to Him in kind: \u201cAs servants of Christ . . . it is required in stewards that one be found faithful\u201d (1 Corinthians 4:1, 2, NKJV).<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s our desire to be found faithful in this time and place. We invite you to join us in encouraging all BA readers to embrace and embody this wonderful word in 2021.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2014 Jason Overman, <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Editor<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>2021 Bible Advocate Issues and Deadlines<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">January-February<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #993300\">Submission deadline<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"color: #993300\">:<\/span><\/span> October 16, 2020<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">March-April<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"color: #993300\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Submission<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">deadline<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"color: #993300\">:<\/span><\/span> December 14, 2020<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">May-June<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #993300\">Submission deadline<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"color: #993300\">:<\/span><\/span> February 15, 2021<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">July-August<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #993300\">Submission deadline<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"color: #993300\">:<\/span><\/span> April 16, 2021<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">September-October<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #993300\">Submission deadline<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"color: #993300\">:<\/span><\/span> June 14, 2021<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">November-December<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #993300\">Submission deadline<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"color: #993300\">:<\/span><\/span> August 16, 2021<\/p>\n<p>Submit your article in a Word document, with name and contact information included, to <a href=\"mailto:bibleadvocate@cog7.org\">bibleadvocate@cog7.org<\/a> or <a href=\"mailto:jason.overman@cog7.org\">jason.overman@cog7.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/baonline.cog7engage.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2020\/08\/2021-Themes.pdf\">2021 Theme Flyer (PDF download)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2021 Bible Advocate Theme: Faithful Hello, writers and readers of the Bible Advocate magazine!
