The Undercover Adventist

From William Miller, to present day charlatans who claim they know it all, Adventist have fallen for false prophets. You see them on youtube. You see them on the Hope Channel. You see them on 3ABN. Yes, they show up everywhere, including your local church. Why? Why do Adventists relish falsehoods? Maybe it's in our DNA....after all, we came out of a false prophet. Any way you slice it, Miller was a false prophet. We won't name names, but the continuing onslaught of predictions of this, and a prophecy of that, just seem to flow forth in present day. Maybe it's the evil of the internet. Maybe people are just not as smart as before. Any time you hear anyone say something that you know is NOT Biblically correct, tune them out and turn them off. Like it or not, our founding members did not have everything right. They debated lots of things. They changed on many points. They even told us to be searching, always, for more light. More truth. But not from snake oil...

Where all of this "unity" nonsense started, is when people who lead the church no longer considered it a calling. It is now a career choice. It is a job. And jobs are where the world starts to tell you that you need benefits, high wages, recognition, compensation, and above all....your rights! Since when are Adventist church workers just employees? They are demanding their rights. Not Christian rights, but worldly rights. Pastors it seems have more time off, less work hours, more pay, and it seems to have become just another job. So if young people going into the ministry are choosing a career instead of a calling, darn straight they will want the perks of a career. Does your pastor turn off his or her phone? Do they visit less? Do they lead church activities less? Do they seem to take more vacation time? Hmmmmm. Something behind the scenes is going on. Perhaps our pastors are now getting comp time. Or feel that if it's not a paid part of the job, then they won...
