About the Seventh-Day
Adventist Church
As race administrators, the SDA church is delighted to host a 5k trail run/walk through the Marl Lake Trails. SDA’s are known for their “Blue Zones” lifestyle (longevity) as was written of in the National Geographic. https://www.bluezones.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Nat_Geo_LongevityF.pdf Because SDA’s believe their bodies are the product of God’s intelligent design, we are to be good stewards of our body temples of the Holy Spirit, abstaining from things which are harmful (alcohol, unclean meats, addictive/recreational drugs…including caffeine) and promote the creation diet (power plant foods: fruit, grains, nuts, vegetables). SDA’s truly believe in the importance of “knowing God” personally as Savior, the Bible alone as the only rule of faith, salvation from sin’s penalty as being by grace through faith in Jesus’ atoning sacrifice (the root of salvation), and the “fruit of salvation” as a love response to, by God’s grace, live in obedience to God’s 10 commandments which includes the 4th which encourages the observance of the 7th day Sabbath as a Memorial of God’s creation (rest from work for time with family, worship, being in nature); that signs in the political, natural, and spiritual worlds all show Jesus’ promised 2nd Coming is near (Mt.24, Dan.2, etc.)…[Hence our name, “Seventh-day Adventists].” We believe the 3 angels messages are given in warning of Jesus’ 2nd Coming to prepare us to be ready by fearing God and giving Him glory, because the hour of His judgment is coming. We are called to worshipping Him as Creator, and to come out of Babylon (confused religion based on other things than Bible teaching), and to demonstrate our loyalty by lovingly keeping His commandments while having the faith of Jesus.
