Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted August 20, 2025 Moderators Posted August 20, 2025 The following article was first published in July. It is longer than many people will want to read. But it is well worth reading today. It contrasts the multi-year reign of Ted Wilson in Adventism with what might be expected from the newly elected GC President. https://spectrummagazine.org/views/analysis/is-the-wilson-era-over/ phkrause 1 Quote Gregory
Asia Joe Posted August 23, 2025 Posted August 23, 2025 Quote slightly raising his voice. “No, our message is not a message of fear or sensationalism. It is a message based on hope and security, not anxiety and fear. We are moved by hope. All the negative signs showing the world falling dramatically are not our priority. The direction the world is taking is not in our hands and does not depend on us […] Our focus is on a church raising powerfully for mission.” When the Global South speaks of mission, they mean growth. Rapid growth. Since the GC in July, we have had over 50 baptisms in our district alone. Quote “We need to be a church that can enlarge our front door and close our back doors, a warmer church which [does] not focus only [on] itself, like a club, but which is focused on people,” he proclaimed. People in some of our churches are very complacent. The Global South is not. I cannot convey to you the ambition of our pastors. They are focused on planting churches and baptizing hundreds. phkrause 1 Quote
