More Easier, More Difficult, More Exciting Than Ever

 

1. Being a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is EASIER today than ever.

Here’s why:

- The Sabbath is now widely recognized as part of the weekend, allowing most Adventists to observe it without work-related conflicts.

- Freedom of religion is legally protected and generally respected, enabling Adventists to worship and practice their faith openly.

- Adventist media is available 24/7 across multiple platforms, making spiritual resources more accessible and shareable than ever.

- “Blue Zones” and “New Start” concepts related to lifestyle favoring health and longevity are widely recognized as one of the trademarks of Adventism

- The Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy books can be found everywhere - at Adventist Book Centers, on Amazon, or even for free online.

2. Being a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is more CHALLENGING today than ever.

Here’s why:

- Biblical illiteracy and secularism - fewer people reading the Scripture, or capable of understand prophetical symbols and charts.

- Despite overwhelming evidence of the Church’s biblical foundation, the unfair and embarrassing label of “cult” persists in some circles.

- A segment of the Church membership remains uninvolved, withholding their talents, energy, and tithe-offerings from the mission.

- Some former members have taken to online platforms, turning personal grievances - such as a difficult divorce or unmet expectations - into attacks on the Church, often for the sake of more likes on social media or YouTube videos .02 cents per click.

3. Being a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is more EXCITING today than ever.

Here’s why:

- Every believer has unprecedented opportunities to share the Gospel using diverse resources - pamphlets, magazines, books, apps, social media, and one-on-one or small group Bible studies.

- The Adventist prophetical understanding of the Great Controversy, the war between Christ and Satan, is presented with more clarity than ever before.

- An amazing plethora of theologians and preachers, supported by local churches as well as Adventist institutions – schools, universities, hospitals, publishing organizations and missionaries - communicating the same message everywhere in the world

- The prophetic events outlined in the Three Angels’ Messages of Revelation 13 and 14 are unfolding before our eyes in real time.

- Above all, the blessed hope: Jesus is coming soon.
