Warn every soul that is in danger. Leave none to deceive themselves. Call sin by its right name. Declare what God has said in regard to lying, Sabbathbreaking, stealing, idolatry, and every other evil. “They which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:21. (Desire of Ages, pp. 805 E.G.W. ).
"Church services are closed in California, but Seventh-day Adventists may sponsor races on the Sabbath.
AdventistHealth in Bakersfield, California is sponsoring a race on the Lord’s Sabbath. This is a public violation against the 4th Commandment of God.
---They are doing this in the eyes of the world.---
The local media is promoting their 24-mile race, which will take place over a 48-hour period and will run through the Sabbath hours. *What makes this event even worse is that you have to donate money to participate in the desecration of the Lord’s Sabbath. Breaking God’s commandments is no longer free. Now you have to pay to play on Saturday.
They will run 2 miles every 4 hours starting on Friday night (Sabbath) and throughout Saturday.
Q: Do we have to raise money by breaking the Sabbath and encouraging others to do so?"
