Two articles that show the heart of this ministry: question assumptions, follow the Scriptures, and keep Jesus at the center.

I get so many people that get angry when I challenge them to furnish proof where the Bible defines Sunday as the Lord’s Day.
Just one text. That’s all I ask. And yet nobody, not one person, can ever find me a verse. Usually what happens is those challenging me will often move the goal post, as it were, or change the objection to something they can try and defend a bit easier. But no text has ever been furnished to show Sunday is the Lord’s Day.
Was the Sabbath given only to Israel at Mount Sinai, or did it exist from Creation? Explore the biblical evidence for the seventh-day Sabbath before Sinai and examine Acts 20:7, 1 Corinthians 16:2, and other texts commonly used to support Sunday worship. Discover what Scripture actually says about the Sabbath, Sunday sacredness, and God’s commandments from Genesis to the New Earth.
Explore historic Catholic quotes and statements about the seventh-day Sabbath, Sunday observance, and church authority. Discover what Catholic catechisms, clergy, scholars, and publications have said about Saturday being the biblical Sabbath, the lack of explicit biblical authority for changing the Sabbath to Sunday, and the Catholic Church’s claimed role in establishing Sunday observance.
Should Seventh-day Adventists redirect their tithe? In this Bible study, I respectfully examine Dr. Conrad Vine's Entropy sermon and compare his views on tithing, the storehouse, and conference leadership with Scripture and Ellen G. White. What does the Bible really teach? Let's study the evidence together.
Now the first angel tells us WHY we need to fear God and give Him glory: because the hour of His judgment has come. Now, given the context, we must realize that this judgment happens shortly BEFORE the return of Jesus; not at His return, and not at death. Before. A pre-advent judgment, if you will. But, what judgment is being spoken of here?
Things are getting crazy in the world. Are they not? Deceptions abound, lot of different movements, lot of different things. And my goal is to encourage us in these end times to remain faithful because things are about to get a 100 times worse. The Papacy cast down the Truths of the Sanctuary. God used the Protestant Reformation to restore them.
There is a controversy going on in our beloved Seventh-day Adventist Church. This controversy is whether or not the Trinity is Biblical or pagan. The main part of the anti-trinitarian belief seems to be that it is only God the Father, and God the Son, Jesus, and that the Holy Spirit is just an impersonal force, or is Jesus Himself. In other words, they believe there are only two members of the Godhead, not three. At least one reason for their believing this is that they believe the Trinity is a catholic doctrine, and they want to move away from paganism. This is a noble desire, to move away from paganism. But just because the catholic church uses the word trinity, it does not make the Biblical truth on the subject a lie. Could it be, that like other truths from the Bible, the Catholic church just borrowed it and perverted it, like they did with other things, like communion?
Daniel 11 reveals the rise, fall, and final movements of earthly powers before Christ’s return. Ignoring it means missing the roadmap God gave to navigate the final events of earth’s history. Use this study guide, based on Dr. McNulty’s commentary, to better understand this most important chapter.
Did you know that the Bible prophesied the French Revolution and the fact that France would make the Bible illegal for three and a half years? We find the prophecy in Revelation chapter 11. And that same chapter gives us the identity of the Two Witnesses for these end times.
“Scholars and laymen are questioning the validity of Sunday as the Biblical day of worship. The question of how Sunday, the first day of the week, replaced Saturday, the seventh day of the week, as the main day of Christian worship has received increasing attention in recent years.”
Many are the controversies within the Seventh-day Adventist movement. One such controversy that boggles my mind that it’s even a controversy, is the identity of the King of the North of Daniel 11, specifically the latter half of the chapter. Was Uriah Smith right? Or is the King of the North really still the papacy?
Satan isn't targeting and attacking most of the Christian denominations; he's already got them in his back pocket. No, he's attacking the Remnant: those who keep the Commandments of God, have the testimony of Jesus, and keep the faith of Jesus.
When we understand that the services of the tabernacle on earth are symbolic of the higher service above and that the entire ritual and all the sacrifices on the earthly altars pointed to the true Lamb of God, the sanctuary becomes of great importance. In it the gospel is foreshadowed and some of the deep things of God revealed.

What if the apostle Paul was alive today and wrote a letter to the American Church? What would he say? I put the prompt into ChatGPT, and here’s what it came up with.
An appeal for all Seventh-day Adventists, whether you have left, strayed, backslidden, what have you, return to Jesus: time is running out.
Too many are guessing when they should be studying. This chart isn’t just history—it’s heaven’s warning in advance. Bible prophecy is unfolding right now. Don’t get caught off guard. Understand the timeline. Know the truth. Be ready.
The writings of historians, the records of chronographers, the languages of earth, the calendars of time, and the existence of the Jewish race—all testify to the fact that the weekly cycle on our calendars today is the same as in earlier centuries—going back to the time of Christ, to Moses, and beyond.
The word cult gets thrown around a lot, often without careful definition. For many, it means “any group that believes differently than I do.” But if we’re going to be fair—and biblical—let’s test the Seventh-day Adventist Church by the Word of God, not by human tradition or popular opinion.
Here’s why the claim that SDAs are a cult simply doesn’t hold up.
In an age of spiritual noise and religious spectacle, it’s easy to assume that power equals truth. If someone performs miracles, speaks boldly in Jesus’ name, or claims to have visions—surely that’s the Holy Spirit at work… right?
Not always.
