Welcome to another podcast episode of "What's an Adventist?"
Have you heard? The current Pope has an Adventist relative and he’s not happy about it! Apparently the conversion of his family member to the Adventist faith was enough to prompt him to want to punish Adventists by imposing Sunday laws at some point during his Papacy. At least that's according to formerly ordained Adventist minister Hugo R. Gambetta. Unfortunately, some Adventists look towards these types of sensational stories and unfounded rumors as inspired signs of the end times. Instead all these stories do is stir people up for all the wrong reasons. Maybe some Adventists feel that unless something dramatic is happening there’s no real need for urgency. The fact is that regardless of what stories are out there, Adventists, and Christians in general, should be vigilant and focused on the development of their own spiritual lives and searching for an authentic spirituality.
