Culture wars, conservatives against liberals, woke against anti-woke.
Yes, this secular warfare has infiltrated the SDA and is being fought over in youtube by pastors and their supporters as we speak.
The question is, does this have a place in the church?
The latest controversy is over Conrad Vine and his statement on proposing a structural change whereby a group of lay members would oversee the distributing funds to local conferences, denying funds to progressive conferences (woke), to make woke go broke.
Added to this is a number of ministers that are in the habit of criticizing the General Conference on youtube.
It's time to look at the possible outcome of such an effort.
Conrad Vine seeks to mobilize his followers to take matters into their own hands, even when he knows that it will never pass.
The end result would be to shake and divide the conference.
Is this movement of God?
Remember Coreh, he wanted to challenge Moses and institute changes, not knowing that he was in fact rebelling against God.
The end result is that he and his followers died.
Let us be mindful of the warnings that are in scripture, that God is totally against division, strife and worldly influences in his church.
Instead of fighting, let us learn to step into the breach, let us learn to be peacemakers, to be humble and patient as we wait upon the Lord and let him settle things in his own time.
