by Arnie Suntag The Bible admonishes us that a time will come when we forsake our foundational principles for the approval of worldly authorities and powers: “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils” (1 Timothy 4:1). As […]
The Alarm that Never Sounded
By Arnie Suntag Things are not always what they seem. This expression, dating back to ancient Rome and the words of Gaius Julius Phaedrus, although historically an axiom and a commonly used phrase in the vernacular, no longer seems to resonate with those living in the world today. I say that almost derisively, because many […]
The Game is Afoot
by Elder Arnie Suntag Our country is slowly being unraveled from the inside out. Over this past year, it has received a makeover that has transformed it from a God-fearing nation of hopes and dreams into an atheistic circus sideshow replete with characters and behaviors that belong in prisons and psychiatric wards rather than in […]

In order to be true, such deceptions would have to be so well designed and orchestrated, that even those closest to the Lord could, if not […]
The LGBTQ Movement and Christianity
By Elder Arnie Suntag We live in a world today where it is virtually impossible to make a statement that challenges social or political ideologies without offending someone or drawing the ire of political activists, ultimately opening the door to personal attack, vilification, and censure. So many have become caught up in the pervasive, albeit […]

By Elder Arnie Suntag As millions ponder how we arrived at such a fearsome moment in the history of our world, the words of Rahm Emanuel, the former mayor of Chicago, resonate in the minds of those who desperately want honest answers to the conundrum that has engulfed their lives. The phrase he coined, “never […]
Where are the Seventh-day Adventists?
By Elder Arnie Suntag In the midst of unprecedented world events, most notably the COVID-19 pandemic, an overwhelming number of people have become fearful and running for cover – and that unfortunately includes many in our own churches.
