(Ezekiel 9:4) It is false loyalty to the SDA Church that leads members to keep silent in a spiritual crisis. In order to warn God\u2019s people, we are providing a section entitled, \u201cApostasy Continues,\u201d which will be updated periodically as needed.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Isaiah 58:1<br \/><span class=\"custom-text-indent\">Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Revelation 18:4<br \/><span class=\"custom-text-indent\">And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 3, p. 280<br \/><span class=\"custom-text-indent\"><span>If God abhors one sin above another, of which His people are guilty, it is doing nothing in case of an emergency<\/span>.

There is an\u00a0<\/span><span>emotional excitement, a mingling of the true with the false<\/span><span>, that is well adapted to mislead. Yet none need be deceived. In the light of God&#8217;s word it is not difficult to determine the nature of these movements.
