Disfellowshipped Seventh-day Adventists in Kenya are Forbidden from Singing Our Hymns
The North Rift Valley Field, which is a part of the West Kenya Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, recently published a letter explaining how a former member and employee had been officially disfellowshipped from the Seventh-day Adventist community. The letter was written on May 2, 2023, and explained how the former member/employee could no longer preach, teach, baptize, or even sing songs from the Seventh-day Adventist hymnal. The letter also stated how "government authorities" could be used to stop him from using the "SDA" name in his "secret activities."
Brothers and sisters, this threat to use the strong arm of the state to forbid disfellowshipped members from singing Adventist hymns is the same papal tactic that will be used against the faithful during the Mark of the Beast crisis. Tyranny will have no part in the work of God.
"The church appeals to the strong arm of civil power, and in this work, papists and Protestants unite. As the movement for Sunday enforcement becomes more bold and decided, the law will be invoked against commandment-keepers. They will be threatened with fines and imprisonment, and some will be offered positions of influence, and other rewards and advantages, as inducements to renounce their faith" (Great Controversy, p. 607).
"The 'image to the beast' represents that form of apostate Protestantism which will be developed when the Protestant churches shall seek the aid of the civil power for the enforcement of their dogmas" (Great Controversy, p. 445).

Ellen G. White's Warning and Its Fulfillment in Worldly Adventist Academies
On December 16, 2025, the Seventh-day Adventist Academy in Pulierranghy, India, held a Christmas program that featured numerous Santa Clauses, played by students and faculty.

In Rome's Embrace: When Adventist Pastors Find Comfort in the Papal Arms of Sund …
On Sunday, January 18, 2026, Giovanni Caccamo, a Seventh-day Adventist pastor, publicly embraced Roman Catholic Bishop Antonio Napolioni during an ecumenical worship service commemorating the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity.

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…

What is now evident is that the initiative to establish Sunday as a uniform day of rest is much further along than initially thought. The president of the Heritage Foundation, Kevin Roberts, has already actively participated in formal public policy discussions related to the document "Saving America by Saving the Family: A Foundation for the Next 250 Years" with members of the U.S. Congress and the Trump administration. This document…

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…

Bringing Disrepute to the Seventh-day Adventist Name
Ellen White talks about a class who bring "the name of Seventh-day Adventists into disrepute" (Testimonies, Vol. 2, p. 533). This is used to describe people who do things that harm or defame the Seventh-day Adventist name. 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. Therefore, Deepavali commemorates Krishna defeating Narakasura.
Now we have Penang Adventist Hospital,…
