The Germantown Seventh-day Adventist Church is currently going through a 31-day revival called Ignite Revival 2024 that includes Pentecostal-style forms of worship and music. [1] On October 7, 2024, the church hosted the famous Sunday-keeping gospel recording artist Maranda Curtis [2] at the Adventist revival meetings. [3] Since these gatherings feature loud, fast-paced music, Maranda Curtis did not disappoint during her performance with her high-energy screams while entertaining worshipers at the Seventh-day Adventist church.
Brothers and sisters, this is not revival or reformation. While our churches can benefit from increased visibility and attendance when they spend large sums of money bringing well-known Sunday-keeping gospel recording artists, doing so also runs the risk of drawing in visitors who are more interested in the entertainment than in making a long-term commitment to the church. When we rely on celebrity performers to scream in our churches, we are creating a focus on performances rather than fostering true, genuine spiritual revival and growth.
By bringing singers from a different and opposing religious faith (Sunday-keepers) to perform in our Seventh-day Adventist churches, it gives the impression that we are creating a moral or theological equivalence between the two faiths. When a church invites individuals from a faith tradition with different beliefs and values, it signals to the congregation and outsiders that the church views these beliefs as equally valid or compatible with its own teachings. This leads to confusion by blurring the distinctions between doctrines, moral principles, and the spiritual foundations of each faith.
All of this is a result of Rome’s ecumenical efforts, which aim to weaken the Seventh-day Adventist message in order to promote worship diversity and inclusion. This is how interfaith encounters undermine our faith because they lead our members to believe that keeping Sunday holy can’t be all that bad, especially if we pay Sunday-keepers to provide entertainment at our revival meetings.

I don’t understand how any Seventh-day Adventist could call such behaviour a revival. It would be better to shut the church down then to let such Baal like behaviour go on.
The use of God’s sanctuary, His Word and His name to throw a party!?!! This is abuse. They are defiling the ornaments of God just as did Belshazzar. They also have drunken the wine, because they didn’t get that worship style from the Word of God. Take a look at who they invited, mingling with the daughter of the harlot. You mingle with them, you become like them
“1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand. 2 Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein. 3 Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them. 4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone. ” Daniel 5:1-4 KJV
The SDA church is in bed with Rome, so hence all the behaviors we are witnessing in the church 🥲
