Liberty Magazine: "It is hard to find anyone unashamedly opposed to religious liberty. It is becoming even harder to find that rare person who understands the principle at play and will grant religious freedom to beliefs they find abhorrent and to peoples they find vaguely threatening..." writes Liberty editor Lincoln Steed. Do you believe religious liberty is under threat? There is a great lack of understanding in our country, and even in our denomination, about religious liberty. Click here to learn more.
Omega Emerging: There’s a saying: “Don’t allow a camel to put its nose under your tent, for soon it’ll be in your tent.” Today the “camel” appears to be the emerging church movement in Seventh-day Adventism. How far has it penetrated the church today? Is it the “omega of apostasy” Ellen White warned us about? This series presents what could be the undermining of the movement raised to correct the errors of modern Protestantism. If the issues raised are indeed happening, then those committed to the historic teachings of the faith have no choice but to “Meet It!”
