A Call To Orthodoxy

Imagine if my wife described me as slender, clean-shaven, neatly dressed, short, and quiet. Then you met me and saw that I towered over most people, sported a Dad-bod, wore crocs, and have a beard that hides my chest. You’d think my wife must be talking about her other husband. That’s quite similar to our disagreements regarding the nature of God. Although we maintain denominational fellowship with those who reject the Trinity, we worship a different God because we disagree as to who God is.

What does growing secularization mean for the Advent Christian Church?

There are three categories that I want to consider that could benefit from the ingenuity spurred on by rising secularism: (1) missions, (2) doctrine, and (3) education. Each of these has influenced the Advent Christian church immensely over the years. The doctrines of conditional immortality saw the formation of our denomination. Advent Christians have most often been united in their shared efforts in foreign missions. The denomination’s institutions of higher learning continue to be a source of pride and unity.

Whose Tent Is It Anyway?

The Advent Christian Church has historically had a very large theological tent. Our ranks have often included the orphans from others churches, whose views were considered unorthodox at best and heretical at worst. One such doctrine has defined our little band of misfits— Conditional Immortality. We have multiple views on what the Scriptures teach on the role of women as elders, synergists and monergists, a wide acceptance of Atonement views. Additionally we lack agreement on what we should agree on to be a part of our group.

Just Say No To Mediocrity

In my first Army unit we were a bit of a hodgepodge of young Soldiers who were preparing for war. By my observation I noticed two kinds of leaders who were training us. Those who properly prepared and those who didn’t. However, the difference didn’t begin with the planning, but how they implemented lessons learned from the previous training event. Let me explain.
