“There is as great a difference in our faith and that of nominal professors, as the heavens are higher than the earth” (Spiritual Gifts, Vol. 2, p. 300). “Ecumenism doesn’t exist,” some would have you believe, “No, not in Adventism.” Even if ecumenism were to actually succeed in infiltrating our ranks no one would dare […]
Don’t Separate God’s Love from His Holiness
“God is love” (1 John 4:8) is a very well-known, indisputable truth. Another truth that is just as important is this one: “Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts.” Isaiah 6:3. Biblical scholar R. C.

The Battle For Europe
The once powerful Protestant empires of Europe have crumbled under the fervent assault of Rome. Europe’s Protestant past is no more.
