In the action against Pastor Ron Kelly, the MISDA officers and leadership team would serve as the both prosecution and the prosecutorial witnesses.

We do not help each other in the fight for holiness when we allow for righteousness to look increasingly strange and sin to look increasingly normal.

They fed themselves, but they did not feed the flock.  They had decent salaries, a solid retirement plan, good health insurance, tax breaks, and yet they did not feel grateful to God for these things. 

The question on the table is, Why would a highly esteemed SDA evangelist with the audience and influence of Mark Finley have done this?  Does he really believe Conrad Vine is a tare or a piece of chaff in the church?   

With few exceptions, SDA physicians fell in line with the official narrative.  Physicians are no different from other people when it comes to the temptation to sheep-like behavior.

Yet today, both of these men have been aggressively de-platformed, cancelled, and silenced by the very church that they have given their lives to build up.

I share all of this with you, because I am beyond appalled at the decision of the Michigan Conference to fire my father from the Village SDA Church.

In addition to submitting my exemption request, I joined an organization which filed a lawsuit and eventually secured a nationwide injunction against the mandate I was facing. 

After Francis’ statement, Head Elder Tom Wilson stood up and made this clarification, “Pastor Kelly has been transitioned out of the state of Michigan (not just the Village Church).”

Ron Kelly and Conrad Vine became well known for demonstrating leadership during the pandemic and the SDA church’s questionable response to it. Although they would not claim the title for themselves, each of these three men are modern day reformers,

Ron Kelly has handled himself very well in the aftermath of the Michigan Conference’s vendetta against Conrad Vine. He sought to be transparent and to resolve the situation through the proper channels. Today he was fired.

This state of affairs brings to mind Rodney King's post trial plea: "Can't we all get along?"  The reality is that there are many things in this life that will always remain mutually exclusive. 

“Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few;  therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest” (Mat. 9:37-38).

Ever met your teenage self and thought, wow, you had excellent judgment? No, you haven’t. Now imagine being 80 years old with a saggy Tasmanian Devil on your bicep.

There was another aspect to Conrad’s sermon that that seems to have been passed over.  Freedom of conscience.   Free will to choose. The bedrock, the foundation of the present truths that we hold most dear as a Church.

Rome’s most active and devoted followers do not think the papacy changed its doctrine on religious liberty at Vatican II

While Jesus gave self-sacrificially to His own hurt, Jeshurun is instead utterly obsessed with overdoing organizational self-maintenance, even to the point of a cost or to the hurt of others.  

Mainstream churches, already sold out to the left, could join hands with an already left-wing papacy to enforce something like a day-of-rest-for-the-environment law. 

I knew returning to retrieve it would be futile.  I felt even worse when I remembered all my per diem pay, in cash, was inside that book, and that my loss was caused by my own carelessness.

It sits far from any interstates and lacks urban centers.  Roughly half of its 44,000 residents are Amish, part of a Christian community that eschews varying degrees of modern technology.

I found the comment to be incredibly inappropriate. It is time for us as a Church to come together around Biblical fidelity, not to continue to stoke division over issues brought into the church from the secular culture and sexual revolution.

So, you might ask, how do we develop this kind of fellowship, where we can trust each other?  It takes an investment of time and relationship building with the Holy Spirit involved at every step.

These words nailed this woman to the ground.  If she was uncomfortable before, she was frozen solid now.  Time stood still as her soul was laid wide open by the sword of truth.

Should Seventh-day Adventists vote on Tuesday?

So here's my question: with the current social climate speeding towards perdition, should we stand aside and not say anything at all?

During the last four years, the General Conference (GC) of the Seventh-Day Adventist church encouraged members to participate in government mandates.

And I feel as though I too have been receiving the question, though of course in my heart and mind rather than audibly, “Will ye also go away?” to which I answer, “Lord, how can I? Where could I go?”

Oh, most wonderful and glorious Savior, please come very, very soon.  We claim Your precious promise, “I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.  Amen” (Matthew 28:20).
