The Three Angels' Messages and Racial Prejudice

Racial prejudice is a problem in the world. In the United States, our history has been marked with intense racial struggle, from slavery to Jim Crow, Civil Rights and now racial profiling has reared its ugly head in today's society. There are, however, circles within our Adventist midst that wish to dismiss these issues, calling it dismissive pejoratives such as it being "social justice" or saying it has no bearing on our message as Seventh-day Adventists.

The Bleating of Sheep and the Lowing of Oxen

It is a well-known story from the Old Testament. King Saul was commanded by the prophet Samuel to gather an army and destroy the Amalekites, whose cup of iniquity had reached its limit (I Sam. 15:2).

The Two Fates: Facing the Reality (Dan 3:16-18)

There are two sides of the Christian’s fate with regards to persecution (i.e. tribulation or trial). Anyone who endeavors to be true to principle will surely face one of these.

A Call to Atonement

During the past few days, America and the world have shuddered in revulsion at the recent events in Charlottesville, Virginia. This graphic and perverse eruption of racial hostility, one among many that our country has witnessed in recent times, forces to the surface a cluster of painful and unpalatable issues for Christians in general and Seventh-day Adventists in particular.

From Gilboa to Louisiana

Much of First World Adventism, in modern and postmodern times, has been obsessed with the fear of legalism. Admonitions and tirades against “legalists” and “Pharisees” in the church have long been the daily meat and drink of the denomination’s fashionable circles of thought and devotion.
