The City of Longmont, Colorado, hosted a “Climate Action Sundays” event at the Longmont Museum and Culture Center on Sunday, September 18, 2022. Climate experts were invited by city leaders to discuss the science underlying the climate issue. Lisa McKenzie of the Colorado School of Public Health, Boulder County Climate and Health strategist Collin Tomb, and Forrest Lacey of the US National Institution for Atmospheric Research, a federally sponsored research and development center, participated in a panel discussion.

The event was described on the city’s municipal website as follows:
“Designed to engage, inform and equip people with practical ways to help make a difference on climate change, Climate Action Sundays feature information tables, kids activities, and a panel discussion featuring experts who will provide the latest information on air quality, waste management, energy and water.” [1]
In their efforts to address climate change, religious leaders, scientists, and government officials are all looking for common ground. And “Sunday” appears to be the unifying factor that binds them all together. This is not a coincidence. In his climate encyclical, Laudato Si’, Pope Francis invites everyone to observe Sunday as an important part of combating climate change. According to the Pope, Sunday is a weekly day of rest for creation. (Laudato Si’ #237) In response to the Pope’s call, the churches have declared “Climate Sunday” as a day of worship, prayer and reflection on the environment. [2] Now, city officials here in the United States are teaming up with scientists to launch “Climate Action Sundays,” which are aimed at families and children.

We live in a time when the climate message has become the most important policy motivating people today. The ecological narrative is spreading all across the planet. Everyone is on board. It is taking over the agendas of both political and religious entities. This is the mission that Pope Francis is supporting. This is part of the vision that the rest of the world wants to impose on our society. This should serve as a wake-up call. We should be giving the trumpet a certain sound and warning the world while there is still time.
What is really concerning is that local governments are funding these Sunday climate activities. When the government begins to exalt Sunday through environmental policies, we are approaching the end-of-the-world scenario in which secular powers will be used to enforce church doctrine. Governments have the power to enact laws and punish those who violate the “common good.”“The Sunday movement is now making its way in darkness. The leaders are concealing the true issue, and many who unite in the movement do not themselves see whither the undercurrent is tending” (The Review and Herald Extra, December 11, 1888).
Rome is urging the world to adopt her climate change policies, and they are happy to oblige. But before the final movements can take place, God’s people will have a great work to do on earth. Instead of supporting the radical climate change agenda, every Seventh-day Adventist must speak out against any legislation that would impose stricter Sunday rest enforcement through stealth. Instead of attempting to save the planet, we must save souls who are perishing due to a lack of present truth:
“I do hope that the trumpet will give a certain sound in regard to this Sunday-law movement. I think that it would be best if in our papers the subject of the perpetuity of the law of God were made a specialty … We should now be doing our very best to defeat this Sunday law.” (Last Day Events, p. 128).

The pope and his minions are working assiduously with both hands night and day, and Adventism is sleepily drifting right into their trap. What can God do to wake up His special people?
Jacob says
This is a government sponsored Sunday climate event. Pope Francis loves this.
Samuel kimani Njoroge says
The general conference president Mr .Ted Wilson is deceiving the seventh day adventists that sunday law is on the pipeline that nobody should worry about the event because it’s very far.That’s why they are engaging in ecumenical movement with the Man of sin and other nefarious activities opposed to God’s will .The General conference is now a subsidiary of Rome and that’s why the G.C leadership has the soft spot for the papacy instead of preaching to the world about the coming warning about the three angel’s message they are dilly dallying with son of perdition and thus those who follow the G.C are bound to be lost forever.
