In this thought-provoking message, Pastor Ron Kelly explores the dangerous intersection of power, politics, and the church. Drawing parallels between historical empires, the founding principles of the American Republic, and the current state of Adventism, Kelly warns against the “abuse of power” and the subtle encroachment of “popery”, the desire to control conscience and silence dissent. He challenges believers to hold fast to the foundational truths of inalienable rights and governance by consent, urging a return to honesty, open dialogue, and a fearless commitment to right over might in both society and the church.
