Ecumenism Will Pave the Way for the Mark of the Beast Crisis
Ecumenism has no place in Adventism. When church leaders attend these interfaith ceremonies designed to unite the churches, exalt Sunday worship, promote spiritualism, reject biblical truth, and unite us under one head, Rome, we must recognize that our participation means we are sanctioning their efforts and thus demonstrating our support. This is a scandal for our people as well as all other religions, and it has serious consequences. Notice how…

The Protest Continues
Americans celebrate the Fourth of July in part to protest Great Britain's tyranny and subjugation of the American Colonies. The Americans were resisting unjust laws, immoral decrees, and tyrannical rulers.
Even though we are commanded to obey governmental authorities as Christians (1 Peter 2:13-17), even these authorities do not have absolute power. Only obedience to God is absolute. And whenever there is a conflict between the two, God is always superior…

It's Time to Stop Playing Church
In the aftermath of a rather unorthodox General Conference Session and the NAD's CALLED Conference - events that unfortunately illustrated just how much we can mimic the rest of the world, perhaps a few Seventh-day Adventists are waking up to the fact that the corporate church no longer resembles the organization established by our pioneers. However, there is something even more concerning than that. There has been a longstanding phenomenon…

Just when you think that the duplicity, posturing, and pretense at the 61st General Conference Session couldn't have gotten any worse, it does. A private interfaith lunch took place during the 61st General Conference Session that was not announced, broadcast, live streamed, or made public until after the session had ended and everyone had left. Was this just a coincidence or was it done for good reasons?
This luncheon was held…

Loma Linda University Promotes the Ancient Eastern Meditation Arts of "Sunset Yo …
The following message was posted on Loma Linda University's Instagram page: "What a FUN event! People were lined up to participate in the Fitness Frenzy Sunset Yoga on April 13."

A major church-owned institution has formed an alliance with Disney, which recently announced that it will intensify its targeting of our children by indoctrinating them with LGBT+ propaganda through its entertainment programming.
