Bringing Disrepute to the Seventh-day Adventist Name
Earlier this week, we published a report along with a video of the Mr. & Miss Intramurals event that was hosted by the Adventist Technological Institute (ATI) located in the Philippines. The video we posted on Facebook has gone viral and is causing many to spread a lot of misinformation. Basically, some are trying to dismiss the wild music and worldly dancing by saying that ATI isn't an Adventist entity anymore. They are diminishing the relationship of ATI with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. And since it is not connected to the church, as alleged, somehow this is supposed to be okay for Adventist Technological Institute to bring the Seventh-day Adventist name into disrepute with their public apostasy.
But I don't believe that the relationship between ATI and the Church has been eliminated, and you shouldn't either. This claim is an attempt to deflect and excuse this worldliness and make of no effect the counsels of God. We'll explain why we must not downplay the seriousness of ATI's hosting of the 2023 Mr. & Miss Intramurals celebration and why we must speak out against this heresy.
You can't pick and choose whether or not to be affiliated with the church based solely on convenience. You are not allowed to specify when you are or are not a Seventh-day Adventist. And it is interesting that we want to downplay ATI's connection to Adventism when discussing their apostasy. However, they don't downplay those connections when other church-sponsored or church-led events take place on its campus. You cannot speak to one group in one way and act in another with another group.

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.
On March 17, 2024, Brother Fabio posted a video with the following caption in the Seventh-day Adventist News outlet Baluarte:

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…

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. Therefore, Deepavali commemorates Krishna defeating Narakasura.
Now we have Penang Adventist Hospital,…
Adventist Insubordination Dressed Like a Catholic Procession
“We may have to remain here in this world because of insubordination many more years” (Evangelism, p. 696).
We don’t just want to act like insubordinate Rome; we also want to dress like them. On Sabbath, October 23, 2021, the Central States Conference of Seventh-day Adventists ordained Kimberly Bulgin to the gospel ministry. She was ordained into the ministry with full credentials. This is nothing less than insubordination. Here we have…
