Adventist Health Portland Honors Pride Month
"The look of their faces testify against them. They parade their sin like S@dom. They don't hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have brought disaster upon themselves." Isaiah 3:9 (Word English Version).
Tragically, some institutions affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church are "honoring" the Pride Month celebration while ignoring the repulsive, sinful behavior that is displayed during this event. Adventist Health Portland is part of Adventist Health (Adventist Health System/West) and falls under the North Pacific Union Conference. On June 5, 2023, the following post honoring Pride Month was published on Adventist Health Portland's Facebook page:
"Whole-person health care starts with honoring what makes you uniquely you. This Pride Month, we're listening to the voices of our wonderfully diverse community so we can inspire health, wholeness and hope for everyone. Read our inclusion statement at AdventistHealth.org/PortlandDEI."
Even some Adventist institutions have been persuaded by LGBT+ activists that their sexual revolution is good and that anyone who objects to their pride parades is hateful. Good has become evil, and evil is good. Warren Hick, a Seventh-day Adventist from Australia, said it best:
"It is time Seventh-day Adventists started calling sin by its right name instead of excusing and supporting it. God calls it sin, and He offers to provide the power to overcome it-all of them. To suggest these practices cannot be overcome is actually declaring that God is powerless to give us the victory. And if that were the case, none of us would have any hope of victory over sin, so no eternal life. But that is not the case. Jesus proved it. He was tempted in all points, as we are, yet He did not sin. He set the benchmark for victory over sin. Ellen White tells us that the same Divine power Jesus accessed from Heaven to overcome sin is available to every one of us. Therefore, do not tell me I have to accept this sin, or any other, for that matter. God will not accept it, and He will not accept those who flagrantly and wantonly engage in any sin without remorse or desire to overcome. Sin is a choice, as is victory in Christ Jesus. For an Adventist organization to run an ad like this, they are taunting God. They are daring God to react and bring His judgment on them. Israel did it a thousand times over; sadly, as a church organization, we are arrogantly slow learners. Little wonder Ellen White spoke of not 1 in 100 Adventists being ready for the Second Coming."

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. [1] The students jumped, shouted, and danced to loud music, while the staff on stage moved in a manner reminiscent of pure paganism.
Ellen G. White issued one of her most solemn end-time warnings-one that speaks to many of our institutions. Referring to a bedlam of…

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. The gesture symbolized a visible unity between the Seventh-day Adventist Church and the Roman Catholic Church in Italy within a formal ecumenical setting.

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.

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).

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,…
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).

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…
