When did Seventh-day Adventist Churches become political polling centers for voters to cast their ballots during our US elections? When did Jesus say, “Teach all nations, baptize them and register them to vote?” There is a reason why, from the very beginning, the church has devoted its time winning souls for Christ. There is a reason why Seventh-day Adventists established schools, sanitariums, churches, and publishing houses but not political campaigns. There is a purpose why our pioneers built centers for evangelism and not voter registration drives. Tragically, some have lost sight of God’s original calling and election.
“Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall.” 2 Peter 1:10.

Andy, you are a little negative here. People who vote in our social hall become acquainted with a SDA church and have an opportunity to pick up literature that’s in the foyer. No one is preaching politics but sharing with the community. Or perhaps you think we need to pull down the shades so only seasoned SDA set foot in the church facility.
True! Interestingly, I’m not sure if Andy even reached out to the church (supposed to be the most Christian way to do before speaking or writing against it) to know how blessed the community was…. How the voters no longer lined up in the cold, easy access to wheel chair voters, etc… how they have appreciated the kindness of the church and how they came to know for the first time who SDA,s are… sad article.

Should we compromise for people to hear the truth, we have nothing to do with politics what more having a holy place becoming a poll for voting
It reminds me of Jesus in the temple
They don’t use a church sanctuary for voting. It’s done in a social hall. And it’s not a compromise to share it with community members.
Church and state must be separated regardless period end of discussion
