Adventist Youth Join Roman Catholics, Evangelicals, Muslims, and Jews in Ecumenical Environmentalism
Rio Cuarto, located in the province of Cordova, Argentina, hosted its first interfaith environmental awareness event on November 11, 2022. The ecumenical encounter was sponsored by the government's Undersecretary of Education and Worship, the Undersecretary of Human Rights, and members of the Rio Cuarto Interreligious Youth Network. Ecumenism brought together youth from various religions, including "Catholic, Evangelical, Jewish, Muslim, Baha'i, Indigenous, Adventist, Southern Church, and Lutheran."
Worship Coordinator Luciano Esnaola explained that the work being done by the interfaith youth is "a transversal (unifying) criterion for all the church groups." He went on to say that "the concept of creating and caring for the environment is something that brings us together and brings together communities of faith."
Whose voice are they listening to? This is precisely what Pope Francis instructs the churches to do in his climate encyclical, Laudato Si'. The Pope is redefining the church's mission and urging all religions to work together to address the climate crisis: "Political institutions and various other social groups are also entrusted with helping to raise people's awareness. So too is the Church. All Christian communities have an important role to play in ecological education" (Laudato Si' #214).
Seventh-day Adventists must rediscover the divine purpose for which God raised us up as a movement. We must remember that the Three Angels' Message is God's final warning and the means by which we can share salvation in these final days. The Adventist movement is not a social organization that seeks to correct all of society's ills. We have been given a divine mandate to take the everlasting gospel of Revelation 14 to the world. What do we have to offer people if the Three Angels' Messages are not the most solemn work ever entrusted to mortal man? We simply become one of many churches around the world, repeating the same message.

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?

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…

Ghostface Horror Character in an Adventist Pulpit
Galatians 5:9 states unequivocally, "A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump," a warning against permitting even minor instances of biblical compromise. In other words, if small negative influences are allowed to spread, they will eventually corrupt an entire movement.

Adventist Health Portland Honors Pride Month
Pride Month has become an international freak show that takes place in June and comes complete with nudity, debauchery, bondage, and sexual decadence-all aimed toward children. Homosexual activists, trans militants, and drag queens openly flaunt their sin, promote it brazenly, and parade it proudly down the main streets of society. Truly, during pride month, the revelers "parade their sin like S@dom."
"The look of their faces testify against them. They…

It refers to acting in a way that is viewed as inappropriate or contrary to the standards of the name they are supposed to uphold. There are behaviors that ought to cause us…
Penang Adventist Hospital Wishes you a Happy Deepavali
The celebration of Deepavali is associated with Lord Krishna, a major Hindu god. During the Deepavali festival, which usually lasts about 5 days, worshipers commemorate Lord Krishna’s victory over the cruel demon known as Narakasura. It is said that this demon oppressed the people until the people prayed to Krishna, who responded by killing Narakasura during a battle.
