Reasoning from Scripture
“Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. Behold, the hire of the laborers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud” (James 5:3-4).
In a word, no. Genuine revival and reformation through a return to the inspired blueprint will rescue Seventh-day Adventist education with an impassioned recovery of the church’s doctrinal and practical mission, as set forth in Scripture and the writings of the Spirit of Prophecy.
The scope of grace and perfection is again in the spotlight. What does the written counsel of God say?
The church is not obligated to legally or publicly defend any sort of conviction or practice on the part of its members, merely because it is claimed that such convictions or practices are based on the conscience. Only those conscientious choices, convictions, or practices sustained by the written counsel of God (Isa. 8:20; Acts 17:11) merit the public endorsement of the church and the commitment of church resources so far as the legal defense and protection of members’ conduct is concerned.

A recent article on a leading liberal Adventist website makes the thoughtful reader wonder whether those so long inclined to criticize Ellen White’s eschatological worldview might soon be persuaded that her predictions are quite credible after all.
Again the allegation is being heard that Ellen White was wrong in stating that some of the medieval Waldenses kept the Bible Sabbath. What do the facts of history say?

Do the inspired writings uphold this distinction?
Prayer is vital and increasingly so as the world continues to unravel. Without prayer, how will we touch the lives of busy, distracted, annoyed people?
The recent and very public departure from Adventism of a prominent figure in Adventist media ministry has again raised the issue of the assurance of salvation and how it relates to the classic Seventh-day Adventist doctrine of the investigative judgment. What does the Bible say?
