Should the valueless void so pervasive in contemporary culture be honored in any way by the Lord’s end-time messengers?  Or, in the tradition of such as Enoch, Noah, Jeremiah, John the Baptist, and the Savior Himself, should it be denounced as the genuine evil it surely is?

A recent online article claims that a literal reading of the Bible is responsible for both the current slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza and the lack of Christian condemnation of the same. Is this true?

To enforce in a taxpayer-funded context the posting of one version of the Ten Commandments, and not require the education of pupils relative to other bodies of law, cannot be called anything other than a violation of religious liberty and an establishment of one religious faith over a host of alternatives.

A prominent speaker in contemporary Adventism has recently alleged that the voice of a Holy Spirit-led conscience can not only guide the believer in matters not spelled out by the written Word, but that to violate the admonitions of that voice—just like violations of the Word itself—should rightly be called sin. 

Is this correct?

Critics of the Adventist Sabbath doctrine have often said that there is “no redeeming power in a day.”  Perhaps not, but neither was there strength in Samson’s long hair.  Nor was there healing power unique to the waters of the river Jordan.  But both represented tokens of loyalty and obedience.  The same is true with the seventh-day Sabbath.

This message was delivered by Elder Erton C. Kohler, newly elected President of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, at the ASI Convention in Orlando, Florida, on Sabbath, August 2, 2025.

No focus on mission can accomplish God’s purpose for the church if the Biblical message which drives that mission is lost.  Message must always drive mission, never the other way around.

The “more sure word of prophecy” (II Peter 1:19) that depicts the current state of the Remnant Church, together with events beyond our borders, have sustained my faith that this is very much the Remnant Church of Bible prophecy, and that what brought me into it 45 years ago was nothing close to “cunningly devised fables” (II Peter 1:16).

May the trials and triumphs of this new quinquennium be bathed in the glory of the blessed hope!  May our transcendent agenda be the unbroken conquest of evil in our lives, and in the life of God’s corporate faith community, resulting in the glad refrain: “Next stop: the New Jerusalem.”

The church which our Lord at His coming is to receive to Himself will be “a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing,” “fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners.”

The global witness of the great Advent movement dare not be moderated or temporized for the sake of superficial unity, nor can it digress from its divine purpose in pursuit of causes defined by cultural grievance or secular political ideologies.
