Comment on LSU responds to Michigan Conference by Ken.
Two things come forcefully to my mind:
1) The church has the responsibility to refuse the teaching in any of its institutions – from the local level all the way to the broadest seat of influence, of any doctrine contrary to the teachings of the bible. Messages to the 7 churches in Revelation clearly teach this responsibility – especially Pergamos and Thyatira. There is always a line which only God knows which when crossed over, judgments will come – He seeks to plead with the church to recognize and respond in His dully appointed way to “keep sin out of the camp.â€
2) If the church, for what ever reason will not or can not follow God’s directive to purify the church from heresy and the teachings of doctrines of devils, God will act so that “fear may fall upon all!â€
In consideration of the above two points, it is my conviction that if our church does not act to resolve this issue at LSU, that the fiery sword of the Lord raised over LSU, and like institutions, will fall decisively if leadership is too blind or too emasculated to act. Much will be lost – but this time, many lives will be swallowed up as in the days of the rebellion of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.
Therefore, I implore the constituent SDA conferences and local churches to address this concern with immediate dispatch for correction. All local church leaders should inform themselves and make known to the local congregations the issues and implications of neglect to address this condition.
