SDA Church should stay out-of-politics

Pastor Derek Bignall
SDA head tells preachers to keep politics out of the pulpit
Tuesday, June 15, 2010
WITH memories of the fiery "stinking truth" sermon still fresh, the Seventh-day Adventist Church has warned its pastors to keep politics out of their pulpits.
Head of the 250,000-strong West Indies Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, Pastor Derek Bignall left no doubt about the position of the church as he ordained nine new pastors last Saturday.

On Saturday he told the new pastors that Jesus walked on earth for 30-plus years and yet did not become involved in the political issues of the day.
"He went about doing good -- healing the sick, feeding the poor, caring for the erring. He never had any contention with Rome. We are here to tell men that Jesus Christ is coming again and soon."
"The greatest work, the highest work, the most noble work pastors are called to do is the saving of souls. No work is greater than this. Angels would be excited to do the work that we do, co-labourers together with Christ for the salvation of souls," he said.
