AdventHealth will Sponsor an All-Star Football Game that is Scheduled to be Played on Friday Night

AdventHealth has officially agreed to be the "Title Sponsor" of the Cure All-Star Football Game, which will feature the greatest high school football players from Lake and Osceola Counties in Florida. The all-star game is set to take place on Friday night, December 9, 2022.

How can we teach people about the sanctity of the Sabbath when we sign up to sponsor football games that violate its sacred hours? How can we communicate the sealing message, which is the keeping of the Sabbath during the mark of the beast, while church institutions openly promote the desecration of the Sabbath through worldly sports entertainment?

God clearly sees these "occasional" secular activities on His Sabbath day as equivalent to publicly and utterly rejecting His holy day:

"It is the grossest presumption for mortal man to venture upon a compromise with the Almighty in order to secure his own petty, temporal interests. It is as ruthless a violation of the law to occasionally use the Sabbath for secular business as to entirely reject it; for it is making the Lord's commandments a matter of convenience. 'I the Lord thy God am a jealous God,' is thundered from Sinai. No partial obedience, no divided interest, is accepted by Him who declares that the iniquities of the fathers shall be visited upon the children to the third and fourth generation of them that hate Him, and that He will show mercy unto thousands of them that love Him and keep His commandments. It is not a small matter to rob a neighbor, and great is the stigma attached to one who is found guilty of such an act; yet he who would scorn to defraud his fellow man will without shame rob his heavenly Father of the time that He has blessed and set apart for a special purpose" (Testimonies, Vol. 4, p. 249).

What more fundamental principle does a Seventh-day Adventist have than to safeguard and keep holy God's Sabbath? AdventHealth has become part of the secular sports culture as they are now promoting Sabbath football games instead of defending God's law and teaching others about the Seventh-day Adventist faith. We are supposed to be encouraging others to keep the seventh-day Sabbath and not to encourage or sponsor sin, which is the breaking of God's commandments (1 John 3:4).
