Tennessee Newspaper: "Seventh-day Adventist Lay Pastor Says Sunday is Not the Lord's Day"
Back on March 28, 2023, the Elizabethton Star, a secular newspaper in Tennessee, published an article titled "The Lord's Day," in which the author thanked God for Sunday and referred to it as the Lord's Day. Aubrey Duncan, pastor of the Forsyth New Life Seventh-day Adventist Church in Georgia, took the time to contact the newspaper and submitted an op-ed giving the other side of the Sabbath question.Amazingly, the Elizabethton Star published Pastor Duncan's reply and titled it, "Seventh-day Adventist Lay Pastor Says Sunday is Not the Lord's Day." In it, Pastor Duncan defended the true seventh-day Sabbath, citing biblical verses from both the Old and New Testaments.
We praise the Lord for the faithful ministers that God still has who are fulfilling His commission to get this message of truth out through the secular media:
"Men will misrepresent the doctrines we believe and teach as Bible truth, and it is necessary that wise plans should be laid to secure the privilege of inserting articles into the secular papers; for this will be a means of awakening souls to see the truth. God will raise up men who will be qualified to sow beside all waters. God has given great light upon important truths, and it must come to the world" (Evangelism, p. 129).
In a time when His seventh-day Sabbath is being declared null and void, may God continue supplying faithful men and women with the courage to stand and defend the faith in this critical hour of earth's history.

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.

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…
