The Show Must Go On: Northern Caribbean University Held its 2023 Xaymaca Cultural Festival Despite Protests

Many faithful Seventh-day Adventists protested the Xaymaca Cultural Festival planned for March 9, 2023. A video was prepared and posted online, and it was used to advertise the 2023 Xaymaca festival at Northern Caribbean University. This video created a lot of controversy and several concerned Seventh-day Adventists voiced their objections with the administration team at Northern Caribbean University (NCU). The video was removed, and different explanations were given as to the reasons.

According to university, it did not approve the "promo" because they thought that it was not "aligned with the university's identity and brand." However, it also said that the 2023 Xaymaca Festival at NCU was "still on" and that a "program" would be utilized "to show that it is nothing like what was advertised." Well, the 2023 event took place last night, and there are some video clips that come from the NCU's United Student Moment Instagram page. You can decide for yourself if the new "program" reflects the principles that a Seventh-day Adventist Christian school should seek to uphold.

Brothers and sisters, the new and improved 2023 Xaymaca program is just more evidence that Seventh-day Adventists are going through an identity crisis. The video clips were taken from last night's performance on the Seventh-day Adventist campus. You would think that you were inside a worldly nightclub. The music, dancing, lighting, and screaming that you hear in this video are what you see in the dance halls of this world. But all this is happening in Adventist intuitions, even after the so-called new and improved "program."

The music and dance shown in these videos belong in a bar, not in our institutions. When these kinds of displays happen on our campuses, the angels of God leave; and who takes their place? Make no mistake, the devil is present at such events. Why would we invite Satan into our schools, churches, and homes with such music? Satan is welcome at NCU. He is at ease there. The university has embraced his lies, his music, and his amusements.

"Such gifts are manufactured by men and women, aided by the great deceiver. Fanaticism, false excitement, false talking in tongues, and noisy exercises have been considered gifts which God has placed in the church. Some have been deceived here. The fruits of all this have not been good" (Testimonies, Vol. 1, p. 412).

"Let us give no place to strange exercisings, which really take the mind away from the deep movings of the Holy Spirit. God's work is ever characterized by calmness and dignity" (Last Day Events, p. 159.3).

"The things you have described as taking place in Indiana, the Lord has shown me would take place just before the close of probation. Every uncouth thing will be demonstrated. There will be shouting, with drums, music, and dancing. The senses of rational beings will become so confused that they cannot be trusted to make right decisions" (Last Say Events, p. 159.1).

"A bedlam of noise shocks the senses and perverts that which if conducted aright might be a blessing. The powers of satanic agencies blend with the din and noise to have a carnival, and this is termed the Holy Spirit's working ... Those things which have been in the past will be in the future. Satan will make music a snare by the way in which it is conducted" (Last Day Events, p. 159.2).
