A Local Seventh-day Adventist Church Hosted a Sunday Ecumenical

Ecumenical unity and cooperation are progressing very rapidly. The movement to reunite the churches into one is advancing everywhere through interfaith worship, interfaith dialog, and now through interfaith concerts. It is also undeniable that the global ecumenical movement has played a role in bringing us to Rome, and now they are bringing us to open our churches on Sunday to celebrate these ecumenical encounters.

On Sunday, December 11, 2022, an ecumenical concert was held at the Chadron Seventh-day Adventist Church in Chadron, Nebraska. The men's choir of the St. Patrick's Catholic Church, the Emmanuel Lutheran Choir, and the United Methodist Bell Choir all took part. This is where ecumenism leads: it causes us to open our churches on Sunday to host these interfaith events with Roman Catholics and Protestants.

"Let not those who have the truth as it is in Jesus give sanction, even by their silence, to the work of the mystery of iniquity. Let them never cease to sound the note of alarm. Let the education and training of the members of our churches be such that the children and youth among us shall understand there are to be no concessions to this power, the man of sin" (Selected Messages, vol. 2, p. 369).

The major problem with what transpired at this ecumenical event in a Seventh-day Adventist church in Nebraska is that Sunday has become the unifying factor that is bringing all people and churches together. It is morally and biblically impossible to celebrate a Sunday ecumenical service with the other churches in a Seventh-day Adventist church. We are trying to accomplish something that cannot be done.

"There is as great a difference in our faith and that of nominal professors, as the heavens are higher than the earth" (Spiritual Gifts, vol. 2, p. 299).

By participating in these interfaith Sunday celebrations while remaining silent about what God says in His word, we give sanction to their errors. And a significant component of the Three Angels' Messages is the obligation to demonstrate to the world that it is drunk on Babylon's wine and that God disapproves of her sins, specifically attempting to change the sanctity of the seventh day of the week, Saturday, to Sunday. God will never ignore what too many of our people do.

"Through the two great errors, the immortality of the soul, and Sunday sacredness, Satan will bring the people under his deceptions. While the former lays the foundation of Spiritualism, the latter creates a bond of sympathy with Rome. The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of Spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience" (Great Controversy, p. 588).

Pope Leo XIV to Ecumenical Leaders: "We Are One, Let's Make It Visible"
Ecumenism is indeed fulfilling prophecy-but not the prophecy God calls His people to advance or embrace. The world is being drawn into a single religious and political body, as revealed by Scripture: "And all the world wondered after the beast" (Revelation 13:3). This is not a revival of godliness; it is universal apostasy-a global movement that, under the appearance of unity, peace, and love, is leading people away from Bible

Rome Stops Traffic On Ecological Sunday
Rome's "Ecological Sundays," which restrict traffic to reduce pollution, may at a first glance appear to be an environmental initiative on the surface, but they serve a deeper agenda-to condition the public to the idea of staying home and resting on Sundays. While rest is not inherently problematic, the issue lies in how this concept is being enforced-not through a voluntary means, but through civil law. By mandating Sunday rest
