Some of the more conservative news bloggers in Adventism at the 2021 ASI Convention in Orlando, FL. Left to right: Pastor Kevin Paulson from ADvindicate.com; Gerry Wagoner from Fulcrum7.com; and Andy Roman from AdventMessenger.com.
There are many conservatives in Adventism, but there are not enough conservative voices when it comes to having an online presence? Fifty years ago, conservative news publications like ADvindicate.com, Fulcrum7.com, AdventMessenger.org, and others would have been in the majority. Unfortunately, today they are the minority.
The good news is that there are still some great websites in Adventism that promote conservative and/or biblical values, beliefs and ideas. The bad news is that they are often subject to censorship, attack and cancellation. Those who speak openly about biblical marriage, family values, pro-life and other moral issues are bullied and harassed for their teachings.
Unfortunately, the loudest voices in Adventism today are the most liberal and compromised. The most popular online publications available today are those that are in tune with the politically correct “woke” culture. Regrettably, there are too many online news sites in Adventism that have embraced the beliefs and values of the world. Instead of trying to transform the world, they are imitating them. For them, cultural expediency is worth more than biblical principles.
Today we have what are called “progressive” Seventh-day Adventists and many social justice warriors. They are not just pushing the ideas of radical leftists, they are preaching another gospel altogether. As long as you have two sides waging a war of ideas, having access to information is vitally important. And whenever the main custodians of information and communication in Adventism are increasingly beholden to a single point of view (the secular and the liberal), then it is imperative that alternative sources of news and commentary are available; consequently, this has led to the rise of conservative news sites.
The good news about conservative news sites is that they still believe in being salt and light in this world. We believe in having both an influence and an impact on society; instead of trying to adapt our faith to this culture. The followers of Christ cannot become indistinguishable from unbelievers by uniting with them and embracing their broken values. If we are not on the Lord’s side with David, we will certainly be slain by Goliath.
Some good news during the 2021 ASI Convention in Orlando, FL: We didn’t see any of the liberal, left-leaning Seventh-day Adventist online publications represented at ASI this year. And no one lost any sleep or shed any tears over this.

Andy, we are so thankful for you and others like you who keep us informed of the issues facing God’s children today. You are in the minority for sure, but you are appreciated beyond belief by those who sigh and cry over the abominations done in Jerusalem. Thanks for this update, stay safe and healthy all of you, and may the Lord’s blessings rain down!
Praise God, hopefully many are waking up! We must “DARE TO BE DANIELS ” we may have to stand alone, but the Lord will be by our side, if we keep Him 1st!
Hello,
Do you know of any conservative churches that hold the eternal truth of the 3rd angel’s messages that is near the Oregon area that we may attend to?
Thank you.
Yes, call Richard Hansen,M.D. at 541-895-3338. He is involved with Creswell Sabbath fellowship 300 N. Mill St. #A Creswell, Or. That is in western Oregon. There is one in eastern Oregon in the Baker City area. For that one call Ed and Linda Kotz at 541-523-3187
I’ve seen some progressive members at my church. They actually think they are being compassionate towards leftist for embracing their ideology like that’s some kind of virtue they have that will win them over. They have no idea the damage they are doing to our church values and principles.
Amen Sharon, I totally agree with your statement.
Many conservatives Adventists will end up on the left side. You are either a Christian, Christ follower or Satan follower. Choose who you will serve today, Christ or Barabbas.
Thanks for giving information that is not avaiable in other places as far as I know.
You need to give a clear statement what conservative gospel is and what the progressive gospel is. Your statement need explanation.
It seems to me that you put the progressive in the same box as the liberals?
One thing is giving information, but when commenting on the gospel then you are entering holy ground, and have to be specific. Be carefull my brother.
By putting in print the 27 or ? the GC failed, and opened the door for a new kind of organization. We have a sola scriptura principle , and therefore we must debate on this foundation, not by just claim that others have a wrong gospel.
Thank you Andy. It was great to meet you at ASI. Keep up the wonderful work.
Same here. It was a blessing meeting you.
Kevin Paulson es defensor del asesinato prenatal. Eso no es ser ejemplo de valor conservador. Eso es transgresión al 6to mandamiento.
