Those in the pews may not have “power” as we understand it in a worldly sense but we do have the power of prayer! With pen and voice we can give warning and encouragement. May the Lord’s will be done.

There was a fire not long ago at one of our institutions in Washington State. There was a fire in EG White’s day at the Battle Creek location; this was a rebuke for not following God’s will in dispersing the work to many locations. Will God again use fire and other means of rebuke to make His voice be heard?

If the servants will not do their duty, then the Lord of the vineyard will miserably destroy those husbandmen and put others into their place of responsibility for God has already sent servants and then His Son to receive of His own. If we are not faithful in our tasks but say in our heart that the Lord delays His coming and begin to strike and beat our fellow servants then woe to us when the Master returns.

Do not lose faith for there are many who have not bowed the knee to Baal but have kept the faith. The tribe of Levi stood forth at Sinai and did the will of God and were zealous of His honor and there are ones who will be again zealous of God’s honor. And was not the tribe of Levi blessed for it’s faithfulness? May our prayers be in support of God’s work and for His faithful leaders that stand weary through the battle. May we hold up their hands that the battle be won and the victory be God’s.

GYC Q&A addresses universities who hire and protect evolutionists
martin,
It wasn’t a fire at a school but an administrative site I was referring to. As far as the academy fire it is sad just as the other fire was at the administrative site but if God is trying to tell us something we need to listen. God does use His creation as a tool to rebuke…the Flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, Egyptian plagues to name a few. Was God being reckless in flooding, torching, and plaguing?
God is merciful and not willing that any should perish but there will come the day when He will declare Judgment has come. In the meantime may our eyes be open to the methods of rebuke He chooses and take it to heart and be in accordance with His Word and His will.

It saddens me to know that this and any other teaching that is not founded upon an ‘It is Written’ and ‘Thus saith the Lord’ is tolerated at all in our church institutions. To think that my tithe dollars support teachers that don’t teach what we believe in our schools is troubling. Tithes paid in may decrease when people realize that this is where their money is going. I already check my church bulletin each Sabbath for where the offering is going to make sure that it will not be funding “programs” contrary to the Bible.

A Anderson’s statement about severing ties is appropriate. Ellen White wrote that we are not to send our children to schools that are not teaching Bible truths and that we are not even to associate with other Adventists if their influence is away from Christ in order to protect our children.

To the Law and Testimony, if they speak not according to this word, there is NO light in them. To tolerate this, to not address this, with 30 years in progress is a shame. Do not send your treasure to any institution that will cause it to continue in a path that leads away from God. Your most valuable treasure is not silver and gold but the children God has blessed you with and of whom you must give account in the day of the Lord.

God will rebuke His people for tolerating that wicked woman Jezebel to remain in our midst. Now is the day. Harden not your hearts. Watchmen give a certain sound else you be found with blood upon your hands.

May God have mercy upon us all for being unfaithful servants.

Alumnus calls Wisbey to ‘honor constituent parents’
I didn’t have the “privilege” of attending SDA schools throughout my educational experience. I attended mostly public institutions where I KNEW that I would be taught evolutionary theory in certain classes. When you know that you will be taught this then you can be on your guard but when you are attending an institution that can be honestly assumed to be of a certain theology then all the more insidious is the work of those who would have us believe that they are of the same belief when they are not. Christ warned us of those who would come in not sparing the flock, wolves dressed in sheep clothing, bringing in damnable heresies…
Acts 20:28-30 Matt 7:15 2Peter 2:1-3

The following excerpt from the President of LSU letter to the Faculty, Staff, Board of trustees, and Leadership team dated May 18, 2009 I find sadly intriguing:
“We expect that students will be introduced to the prevailing scientific views within a supportive classroom environment that values the Seventh-day Adventist Church’s contribution to the understanding of biblical creation. It is our commitment to our students and to their families that our professors will continue to support learning and encourage conversation in a spirit of openness. In this way we live out our university’s commitment to responsibly address difficult issues and our willingness to consider a variety of views. This grows from our church’s commitment to ever be open to new light.”

This has the implication that other “scientific findings” will wend their way into our institutions and be taught to our children. Sociology is a science that deals with the framework of the family and the individual. Will we in our “commitment to ever be open to new light’ and ‘willingness to consider a variety of views” lead us to teach such views as healthy monogamous homosexuality, bisexuality and all that pertains to these topics? These are prevailing scientific views in the field of social science just as evolution is in the field of biology. Will the Religion Department start teaching a ‘variety of views’ such as other religious beliefs including witchcraft? These are just a few of the issues that can and will come up in our institutions if we take the stance of which President Randal Wisbey has apparently taken. When it comes to God’s word may we be ever true even if it means being closed minded and lunatic fringe.
May God be merciful and forgive us for our vanity and pride.
