AdventHealth is Selling Tickets from $500 to $250,000 for a Country/Pop Music Benefit Concert
“In your festive attire, hear your favorite holiday sounds live with Country Hall of Famer, Vince Gill and Contemporary Christian artist, Amy Grant in this unforgettable performance under the stars. From the comfort of your own vehicle, enjoy a family friendly dinner delivered straight to your window.” [2]
Amy Grant isn’t just a “contemporary Christian artist.” She crossed over to secular pop music way back in 1985. [3] She is also a LGBT+ advocate. [4] Contributions for the event are said to benefit AdventHealth. They are inviting the general public, their families and Seventh-day Adventists. Now if you don’t have $250,000 to attend their 2 1/2 hour concert, well, you are in luck. AdventHealth also has more affordable tickets for you at only $100,000; $50,000; $25,000; $12,500; $5,000 or $500. But you won’t be able to get onstage with the stars. Sorry.
Here’s the biggest problem with selling $250,000 country/pop concert tickets. God says “NO” to these types of fundraising efforts:
“As Christian workers, we are not to seek money from worldly, unconverted people by pressing and teasing. We are not to imitate the churches by instituting bazaars and various God-forbidden expedients to bring in a little means. We see no directions in the Word for fancy fairs, concerts, and other objectionable practices for raising funds to advance His work. The curse of God is upon all this kind of work. It is polluting and degrading the work of God, defiling His holy temple” (Letter 113, 1897).
The Testimonies of God are being made of “none effect” by these kinds of activities. God’s counsel goes unheeded. Selling $250,000 tickets for country and pop music concerts is incompatible with the three angel’s messages and the self-sacrificing efforts that will accompany God’s people in the closing work. The Testimonies are “disregarded” by those in leadership as the methods of the world are being adopted.

Let Us Stop Avoiding the Real Issues
As the 2025 General Conference Session convenes, with believers from around the world watching and praying, there is an unmistakable sense of frustration among many of the faithful. While we will be given lectures about returning our tithes and offerings-as outlined in the proposed 2025 Church Manual agenda-we must ask ourselves: is this truly the burning concern on the hearts of God's remnant people at this critical hour in history?

Ganoune Diop: "I Never Said I Don't Preach the Three Angels' Message-That Would …
While walking down the hallway at the America's Center Convention Complex-the site of the 62nd General Conference Session-I saw Ganoune Diop approaching. Knowing how busy church leaders are during these sessions, I asked if he had time to answer just one question. He stopped to look at me, and I asked him directly, "Why don't you preach the Three Angels' Messages? Why do you only preach Jesus?" As he began…
Ted Wilson Hijacks the Debate Again, Silencing Motions to Address the Church's C …
As the day began, it was clear that the opening session would be marked by intense debate and contention. Everyone who attended the morning press conference orientation was informed that three agendas were going to be approved on this day: the Church Manual agenda, the Constitutional agenda, and the General agenda. The main issue centered on the General agenda, which allows for multiple items to be introduced. It was during…

On July 4, 2025, the delegates at the 62nd General Conference Session voted to approve the nomination of Elton Köhler as the new President of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. Formerly serving as the president of the South American Division, Köhler was officially introduced before the global church body and delivered an acceptance speech emphasizing unity, healing, and forward momentum.

AdventHealth is Now Restoring Worship in Adventist Churches with Rap Music
On Friday evening, July 7, 2023, starting at 7:00 p.m., AdventHealth hosted a "Restore Worship-Experience God" event at the WholeLife Seventh-day Adventist Church in Orlando, Florida. The service included poetry, spoken word, and rap. Rap music is being promoted as a means to restore worship. This is how the music of the world is being marketed in our churches today. Evil is good, wrong is right, and rap music is…

Loma Linda University Health (LLU) recently published a news release stating that its children's hospital staff is promoting "Star Wars characters" such as "Darth Vader" and the "Stormtroopers" to honor their patients' progress toward healing and recovery. LLU's care team brought in Darth Vader and organized a "victory walk" to "congratulate" its patients. At Adventhealth, Darth Vader is seen welcoming new born babies in celebration of "Star Wars Day."

Why AdventHealth Won't Change: A Local Newspaper Posts a Photo of AdventHealth A …
The AdventHealth Administration team was depicted in a picture by The Sentinel Echo on November 19, 2022, as characters from The Wizard of Oz, one of whom was dressed as a witch. Remember, these are administrators, not just nurses or regular employees. Why should we believe that the administration team at AdventHealth will stop funding and supporting witchcraft productions if they are themselves dress up as witches?
The bigger question…
President G. Alexander Bryant and AdventHealth Respond to the Church's Sponsorsh …
AdventHealth and North American Division President G. Alexander Bryant have commented on the church's support of the Broadway production show "Wicked." However, be careful not to get your hopes up. Tragically, nothing will change, no one will take responsibility, and the church's sponsorship of this heinous show will go on in 2023.
Back on October 31, 2022, we published an exposé revealing how AdventHealth, a Seventh-day Adventist church-owned healthcare system,…
Church-owned AdventHealth has struck an Alliance with the Diabolical Disney Corp …
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. Why would Adventist organizations that claim to preserve family values and biblical morality join with the most extremist hotbed of LGBT+ sexual militants obsessed with transforming our children into their distorted image?
