An Appeal to Leaders, The Future of the Church is at Stake | Pr. Ron Kelly

Explore the historical foundations of the Seventh-day Adventist church organization, starting with James White’s struggle to unite the movement in 1861. This message examines a recent, painful controversy within a vibrant local congregation, where a senior pastor was dismissed after conflicts with conference leadership over member discipline and authority. Analyze the tension between local church autonomy and conference power, questioning whether current administrative actions align with biblical principles of due process, truth, and reconciliation. Reflect on the prophetic role of pastors to reprove and warn, even within the church structure, and heed the call for a return to honest dialogue, accountability, and a commitment to truth “though the heavens fall.”
