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?

The answer is no.

The people are not looking for reminders about faithful stewardship when it comes to money. What they are yearning for is accountability and a voice in the decisions that shape the mission and identity of this movement. What they are crying out for is transparency and the moral courage to confront the many elephants in the room.

Where is the conversation about the COVID Reaffirmation Statement? Why has it not been formally repealed-or at the very least-debated by the full body of delegates? Why is the General Conference Executive Committee acting as a doctrinal authority without a global church vote on the policies they pass? Who gave a handful of administrators the right to bypass the priesthood of all believers?

And when will we confront the alarming reality of our NGO status with the United Nations? Are we the remnant church-or a pawn of globalist institutions? Have we forgotten that our mission is to proclaim the Three Angels' Messages, not to serve as ambassadors of the World Health Organization's global health mandates and policy agendas?

Furthermore, why is "religious liberty" now being used as a Trojan horse for unholy alliances with the world's churches? And for heaven's sake-when will we stop transforming our schools, universities, and churches into entertainment halls, filled with rock music, dance routines, and theatrical performances that grieve the Holy Spirit?

We are not here to nitpick administrative procedures. We are here because the hour is late and the judgment hour message must go to all the world with power. The church is crying out-not for a polished Church Manual-but for prophetic clarity, moral courage, and a return to righteousness, biblical fidelity, and holiness.

Church leaders and administrators must stop ignoring these and other pressing issues. The members are not asleep. They are watching. They are waiting. And above all, they are praying that someone will stand and speak truth in this critical hour. We are living in a time when far too many seem tone-deaf to the spiritual concerns and convictions of the broader body of believers.

Instead of addressing the burdens that weigh heavily on the hearts of the people, the 2025 General Conference Session appears focused on surface-level matters that distract from deeper, more urgent challenges. Whether through willful ignorance or deliberate avoidance, this disconnect is creating a widening gap between leadership and laity. How can we speak of unity while doing the very things that create division?

God is calling for bold, fearless leadership-leaders who will not cower before men, who will not dilute the truth for the sake of ecumenical success, who will not betray their sacred trust for comfort or ease, and who will not sell their souls for government handouts. In this decisive hour, when compromise is paraded as unity and silence is sold as public relations strategy, Heaven demands shepherds who will proclaim the Word of God without apology, who will stand with the faithful remnant rather than bow to Rome, and who will heed the cries of the flock instead of the deceptive whispers of the world.

"The greatest want of the world is the want of men-men who will not be bought or sold, men who in their inmost souls are true and honest, men who do not fear to call sin by its right name, men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole, men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall" (Education, p. 57).
