In this age of secularism, immortality, and gross wickedness, God is calling upon His people to teach, preach, and live the principles of present-truth that are clearly laid out in His Word, just as He used the prophet Elijah, John the Baptist, Jesus, and even the Protestant Reformers during the Dark Ages. Unfortunately, just as in the aforementioned types, the messages of present-truth were not welcomed or tolerated, neither in the world nor in the churches. We have come to a point in history wherein individuals are prohibited from publicly upholding God's standard of marriage and disapproving of homosexuality without facing criticism and pressure from the LGBT community and its supporters. However, this is not the persecution that should alarm God's people; what else can be expected from the world? But when individuals' voices within the Seventh-day Adventist Denomination are being silenced because of their presenting and standing for Biblical principles of present-truth, this should be all the more disturbing. This denial of religious liberty in the churches calling themselves Seventh-day Adventist is a sure sign that God's people are being and will continue to be driven into the wilderness.
"We have far more to fear from within that from without. The hindrances to strength and success are far greater from the church itself than from the world." (1SM 122.3). The very church that was once a beacon of religious liberty is now stifling the liberties of those who choose to stand for the pillars and foundation of our message, and call sin by its right name while holding those in leadership positions accountable. But although in the wilderness, God's people will be nourished with both spiritual and literal bread and water. Will you choose to worship God in the wilderness or remain in the popular, fashionable, nominal churches and inevitably call evil good and good evil, while ostracizing God's servants? Choose ye this day who ye will serve!
