I want to preface this important E-News by saying that I realize that many of you (who read my updates) are Christians from different denominations. I am glad for this. I hope my reports are a blessing to you. As most of you know, the raging topic of gender distinctions is not only dividing society-at-large, but also almost every denomination under the sun, including Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish congregations.
Few can escape such controversies.
To be honest with you, the same controversies are now taking place within my own church, which is the Seventh-day Adventist Church, which I firmly believe is a church that has been divinely commissioned by God Himself to preach the three angels’ messages of Revelation 14:6-12 to the entire world. There is no other church on Planet Earth (that I am aware of) that is boldly teaching these three angels’ messages worldwide. This is why Satan is attacking us—big time. Read Revelation 12:17.
The fact that Adventists are wrestling with this controversy shouldn’t surprise anyone. Adventists are faulty humans too (just like everyone else), and are not immune to such conflicts. Our particular controversy concerns the issue of women being ordained to the gospel ministry. During three worldwide SDA General Conference Sessions (1990, 1995, 2015), this issue was voted upon by Adventist leaders. Each time, the majority said “No” to women’s ordination—not out of disrespect for women, but out of respect for God’s Word. In Scripture, women were never ordained as priests. Unfortunately, within our church there is a sizable faction that refuses to accept those votes. This is what has created somewhat of a crisis inside our ranks.
That said, this E-News is primarily directed for Adventists (although anyone can “tune in” if you wish). White Horse Media has just released a major “eBook Bundle” on this topic, which includes my new ebook entitled, God’s Remnant Church Divided: What Does the Future Hold?, which includes the eBook, plus an audio eBook, plus a separate audio message of mine called, “I AM Ready for the Future. Really? Lessons from Peter.” Anyone who is interested can learn more by visiting our new website, GodsRemnantChurchDivided.net.

[Reviewer] Wow! I couldn’t stop reading it!—Junie Christensen
[Facebook comment] Wow, just incredible and amazing. Will certainly be sharing this. Jesus is coming very soon! Praying for God’s guidance and blessings as He has raised you up for such a time as this. G.G.
[Facebook comment] Pastor Wohlberg, Please tell your production team that it [the video on GodsRemnantChurchDivided.net] looked and sounded great. May God continue to bless you and White Horse Media. F.P.

[Reviewer] God’s Remnant Church Divided is a short, clear, balanced summary of what is currently taking place in the Seventh-day Adventist Church today…The issue of authority lies at the heart of this division, just as it has from the beginning of the Great Controversy.—Pastor Jim Anderson
[Email comment] Just wanted to drop a line to let you know how much I appreciate your new book. I purchased it last night and listened to the audio book and sermon. Satan’s goal is to divide and conquer and you lay it out well. I’m recommending it to my friends. M.P.
[Facebook comment] I just ordered the ebook. It dawned on me that the link Steve gave is a perfect way we can share this information with others and this solved a real problem for me. I have not gone into our church split with my daughter, sister, or sons or anyone for that matter, not knowing how to bring this shameful reality to them in a way that would possibly not discourage them or bring reproach on our church. I now have the factual information…I was impressed with the concise, clear, and kind manner in which he spoke to share this info to those who need to know what is happening... L.
[Facebook comment] I posted it publicly on Facebook. The ebook is an earnest appeal that calls us back to what it really means to be a Seventh-day Adventist, a Bible-believing, Bible-practicing soul saved and sanctified by grace, and boldly proclaiming these heavenly messages of the 3 angels. D.K.
“On this Rock I will build My Church,” our Savior said, “and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Matthew 16:18. Nothing can stop Jesus Christ, His Gospel, His Word, and His three angels’ messages.

Pastor Steve,
I believe there is a much more significant and threatening issue for Adventists. We officially observe Sunday in 5 Pacific Island nations because our theologians do not accept the authority of local time in Tonga, Samoa, Tokelau, Wallis & Futuna, and Phoenix & Line Islands of Kiribati.
We are trying to get this corrected at GC Session 2020 after it was blocked in 2015 by the NZPUC (our local Union).
Please pray for this.
Adventists have kept Sunday in Tonga for 120 years and our leadership seem incapable of leading the denomination into confession and repentance.

I will send you our new book covering seven years of research if you like. Our 2014 ebook is available for a very small price at Amazon. Title is Sabbath, The Drama of Our Age
Our local churches are unaware of what’s going on out there with this and at some point we will be in a position to choose between our world church and our conference or division. This presentation is sorely needed to get out there as we navigate through these issues. Thanks so much! God bless WH Ministries
We are dealing with ‘ordination’ now. In my church, we have a woman who is ‘commissioned’ or ‘licensed’ as a pastor. When/if the ordination issue is ever settled – will there be a long and drawn out battle over whether or not ‘commissioning’ and/or ‘licensing’ of women will be allowed as well?
The way I see it (as well as most lay members of our church) is that it doesn’t matter which prefix is assigned to ‘Pastor’, the title is there and few care how it got there. Our head Pastor has ‘assured’several of us (for lack of a better term) who are members – that ‘there will always be commissioned and licensed women pastors’ – something I am some others in our church don’t support, but he does as his daughter is also a ‘pastor’.
Just wondering your ideas, thoughts and foreknowledge on all of this – thanks!

I’m a woman, and I agree the Scriptures do NOT advocate the ordination of women. While Deborah in the Bible was a judge, she held court “outside” and did offer wise counsel, she was NOT preaching in the synagogue.
There was not one woman who did. Yeshua never gave his blessing to any of his women followers to do so either. How can Scripture be any more clear on this topic?
Thank you for this wonderful resource. Looking forward to reading it and also sharing it with others.
May God continue to bless you and your ministry and all you do to remain faithful to God’s word.
Thank you so much for giving biblical light to dark mind of human. Blow the true trumpet louder in the name of Jesus please. Your youtube sermon on God’sRemantChurchDivided is a short message and yet it carries a long meaningful information
Why are Baptist not willing to worship on the sabbath?
There are indeed some Baptists who worship on the Sabbath (the Seventh-day Baptists). Other Baptists likely keep Sunday for the same reasons as most other churches which is mainly tradition which originated out of the Catholic Church.
I was raised in the Seventh Day Adventist Church in El Cajon and Lakeside California but I am now on the east coast looking for a church in South Carolina.
Thanks pastor Wohlberg for reminding the Remnant, about what has been written by Ellen White on her book, LAST DAY EVENT.
I drowned up in the Church, I sawed in my eyes, what happen in the Church today.
Please can you email the pdf copy of your book remnant divided because I want to know the truth. I am a young ministerial student and would like to know the truth. Please help. God bless.
