SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — A fire broke out at a Seventh-Day Adventist Church in San Francisco Monday afternoon. In photos posted by the San Francisco Fire Department, the church, which is located at California and Broderick streets, appeared to be behind scaffolding.

By 3:50 p.m., flames could be seen leaping from the church’s roof. One SFFD firefighter tells KRON4 it has been 28 years since a church fire occurred in San Francisco.

As of 9 p.m., crews remain on scene responding to the fire. SFFD said the fire is now contained.

The fire was initially reported as a one-alarm fire before being escalated to two alarms. SFFD said the fire has been reported throughout the church’s top level. SF Fire also posted a video showing heavy smoke pouring from the church’s upper-level windows.

Loma Linda University Health Study Links Egg Consumption to Better Brain Health

Loma Linda University Health Study Links Egg Consumption to Better Brain Health

A new study from Loma Linda University Health suggests that regular egg consumption may help lower the risk of Alzheimer’s Disease among older adults, according to an article in the Loma Linda University Health news, by Ansel Oliver.

Researchers found that adults aged 65 and older who ate at least five eggs per week had up to a 27% lower risk of Alzheimer’s compared to those who never ate eggs. Even moderate intake showed benefits, with participants consuming eggs one to three times per month showing a 17% lower risk and those eating eggs two to four times weekly experiencing a 20% reduction.

The findings were published in the Journal of Nutrition in a study analyzing data from approximately 40,000 participants in the Adventist Health Study-2 cohort over an average follow-up period of 15.3 years.

“Compared to never eating eggs, eating at least five eggs per week can decrease risk of Alzheimer’s,” said Joan Sabaté, the study’s principal investigator.

Researchers said eggs contain nutrients linked to brain health, including choline, lutein, zeaxanthin, omega-3 fatty acids, and phospholipids that support memory and cognitive function. The study examined both direct egg consumption and eggs consumed through baked and packaged foods.

“Research supports eggs as part of a healthy diet,” said Jisoo Oh, the study’s lead author.

“Seventh-day Adventists do eat a healthier diet than the general public, and we want people to focus on overall health along with this knowledge about the benefit of eggs.”

The study received partial funding from the American Egg Board, while the original cohort data was funded by the National Institutes of Health.

It’s also important to note that Seventh-day Adventist church founder, Ellen White, discouraged the consumption of eggs.

The Sabbath Trail

01 Mar 2026

Walking through the history of the Sabbath

Amy Whitsett




Meandering through the woods in central New Hampshire, United States, is a modest wood chip walking trail. Its gentle twists and turns lead across small wooden bridges spanning a forest stream, where sunlight filters through the canopy and casts dappled shadows on the path. The air carries the scent of pine needles and damp soil, while birdsong pulls you away from the busyness of life into an almost holy stillness and peace.

Welcome to the Sabbath Trail at the Seventh-day Adventist church in Washington, New Hampshire, a trail tracing the history of the Sabbath from creation to the new earth.

The Vision

The Washington, New Hampshire, Seventh-day Adventist Church is a small one-room church built in the early 1840s. Situated at the crest of a hill beside a dirt road, the church was home to a small congregation that would meet throughout the year until it grew too cold for the little stove to fight winter’s chill.

But the church had another, bigger problem. Because the church lot was so small, cars would frequently line the narrow dirt road, causing difficulty for neighbors. It was also challenging, even impossible, to park the buses that would bring students or Adventist Heritage tourists to visit the historically significant church. The church often prayed that God would open a way for nearby land to become available to meet this need.

Then, in the late 1980s, 18 acres of wooded land surrounding the church property were put up for sale. Recognizing that the land would be a solution to the parking needs, church members seized the opportunity, and the land was purchased.

San Francisco Central SDA Church Vandalized With Slurs and Swastikas

2 February 2026 |

No church-goer should arrive at their church on Sabbath morning to see swastikas and hate speech graffiti on the walls of their church. Unfortunately, this was the reality for congregants of Central Seventh-day Adventist Church on the Saturday morning of February 28.

Officers arrived at the church in San Francisco’s Lower Pacific Heights neighborhood at around 8:45 am. Reports were of swastikas, antisemitic language, and homophobic slurs written in fresh paint on the side of the church. The police estimated around $20,000 worth of damage to the church and city utilities located in the 2800 block of California Street. That same day, Sadat Mousa, 51, was arrested in connection with the crime.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle:

“Mousa was booked into San Francisco County Jail on suspicion of felony vandalism with a hate crime enhancement, terrorism for desecrating a cross on private property, and possession of graffiti instruments.

Mousa appears to have a history with law enforcement, including a prison sentence for making threats of violence to family members in a 2010 domestic violence case.

His bond was set at $100,000.”

Some were fearful that the outburst of hate speech might have been in response to heightened tensions regarding the recent Iran strikes. However, The church’s pastor, Mark Ferrell, does not believe it was influenced by the recent attacks by the U.S and Israel.

“Personally, I don’t think it was directed so much at the church,” Ferrell said Saturday night. “There’s a lot of high emotions right now in a lot of people. It’s not just what happened today in Iran.”

The police wrote in a statement:

“This kind of hateful act will never be tolerated in our city,” said SFPD Chief Derrick Lew. “We will do everything in our power to protect our communities and ensure justice is served in this case. I want to thank our officers who acted swiftly to make an arrest in this case.”

Infiltration of Marxist Thought into Adventist Institutions

February 13, 2026 Dr. Adami A. Gabriel




When the Church Speaks the Language of Babylon:

A Prophetic Warning Against the Subtle Infiltration of Marxist Thought into Adventist Institutions

By: Dr. Adami A. Gabriel, PsyD


1. Introduction – The Language of the Age and the Church of Prophecy

Every generation faces the challenge of communicating the gospel in a changing world. Language, however, is never neutral. Words carry worldviews. Whoever defines the terms defines the debate, and whoever shapes the debate shapes belief. As the American linguist Edward Sapir stated, "Human beings... are very much at the mercy of the particular language which has become the medium of expression for their society". He further elaborated that "We see and hear and otherwise experience very largely as we do because the language habits of our community predispose certain choices of interpretation" (1929). This strongly suggests that language is inherently biased by cultural assumptions and worldviews. Philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1922) famously articulated the deep connection between language and our perception of reality, stating "The limits of my language mean the limits of my world". The Marxist philosopher and linguist V.N. Voloshinov (often associated with Mikhail Bakhtin) argued that "Every word is a microcosm of the world, every word is a philosophy." (1973). The French philosopher Michel Foucault (1978) extensively explored how "discourse” is inseparable from power relations. He argued that the power to define "what can be said" and "who can speak" fundamentally shapes societal knowledge and belief. Finally, in modern cognitive linguistics, authors like George Lakoff (2004) emphasize how political "framing" through language heavily influences public opinion and belief systems. He argues that political discourse relies on specific, culturally embedded frames, and controlling the frame, or defining the terms, is essential to winning a debate and shaping public understanding.

Secular scholars and academics understand these principles on how influencing, shaping and reengineering culture and worldviews through language work and operate. In recent decades, secular society has produced a new moral vocabulary—equity, systemic oppression, inclusion, diversity, allyship, and social justice. These terms, born out of Marxist and postmodern theories (Mor Barak, 2005), often embed values that differ from biblical anthropology and morality.

In official statements and institutional materials, the Seventh-day Adventist Church increasingly employs this same vocabulary in its attempts to address racism, poverty, and human suffering. While these causes may appear righteous, the uncritical adoption of the world’s terminology risks compromising the distinct prophetic mission entrusted to the remnant church. Scripture warns,

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2, NKJV).

When the church begins to think and speak in the categories of the world, its transformation becomes reversal.

This paper offers a public apologetic and prophetic warning: that the borrowing of secular ideological language—especially language rooted in Marxist social theory—inevitably shapes thought, theology, and practice (Wittgenstein, 1922; Foucault, 1978; Lakoff, 2004). It will demonstrate, through examples from official SDA sources, how such language has become normalized, and then will analyze, through Scripture and the writings of Ellen G. White, why this blending of sacred and profane language is spiritually dangerous, even when pursued for a “good cause.”

Historical Trash Heap

"Although it is true that there was a period in the life of the Seventh-day Adventist Church when the denomination took a distinctly anti-Roman Catholic viewpoint...that attitude on the church's part was nothing more than a manifestation of widespread anti-popery among conservative Protestant denominations in the early part of this century and the latter part of the last, and which has now been consigned to the historical trash heap so far as the Seventh-day Adventist Church is concerned." (Neal C. Wilson, past president of the Seventh-day Adventist General Conference, Court Transcript of United States vs the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission vs the Pacific Press Publishing Association and the General Conference, Reply Brief for Defendants, p 4, Civil Case #74-2025 CBR, presided over by Judge Charles B. Renfrew, U.S. District Court, San Francisco, California, 1974-1975.)

"There is another universal and truly catholic organization, the Seventh-day Adventist Church." (Neal C. Wilson, General Conference President of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, in Adventist Review, March 5, 1981, p 3).

Is Dr. Steven Gundry a Seventh-day Adventist?

By Jean Carroll / April 3, 2025

Dr. Steven Gundry has become a controversial figure in the health and wellness space. Once a respected cardiothoracic surgeon at Loma Linda University Medical Center, he’s now better known for promoting a lectin-free diet and marketing a range of supplements. Given his association with Loma Linda—a medical institution affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church—many have asked whether Dr. Gundry himself is a Seventh-day Adventist.

This question speaks not just to religious affiliation, but to how personal philosophy can intersect with medical practice and public health messaging.

Loma Linda and Its Religious Foundation

Loma Linda University is owned and operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Its health system is heavily influenced by Adventist principles, particularly in regard to diet, lifestyle, and holistic wellness. Vegetarianism, avoidance of caffeine and alcohol, and emphasis on preventive care are central to its health doctrine.

Dr. Gundry held a high-ranking position within this institution for many years. His time there gave him exposure to long-standing Adventist health philosophies, including the promotion of plant-based eating for chronic disease prevention. Loma Linda itself is located in one of the world’s five “Blue Zones,” known for longevity and low rates of age-related disease—a designation frequently credited to the Adventist lifestyle.
