Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed how plain and simple or generic Adventists are becoming?
First the logo changed from the 3 angels with trumpets and a globe to this BASIC design. A Flame and a cross and a Bible. Are you kidding me? The 3 angels have been oblitereated and respresented by 3 lines? This thing has irked me for years now, but who am I?
Next, thing I discover is that Sabbath School Lesson Illustrator, isn't even Adventist. What? Is this really true? Wait wait wait... I stand corrected. The term is no longer "Sabbath School Lessons" its SSMaterials (Sabbath School Materials).
I'm blown away. What are SDA's hiding from? What was wrong with the first logo? NOTHING.
Why are the Sabbath School Lessons, woops my bad...Materials...why are they no longer tools of instruction, but now mere objects?
My cotton jeans are materials, my synthetic kicks are materials, my braided extensions are materials...the Sabbath School dare I say LESSON is and always will be a LESSON. Why the name change? What is really going on here?
These days, you can't tell who is SDA from who isn't, who's a Christian from who's not. We all look the same, in dress, manner and ...now DOCTRINE? Are we becoming more and more like the world? In the attempt to minister, are we compromising? I wouldn't be able to tell if someone was an Adventist if they smacked me upside the head. ROFL From the pulpit to the PEWS, people, it starts at the top and trickles all the way down. Let's maintain whatever identity we have left for Christ's sake!...I mean it, we need to! Christ needs us to keep our identity.
Wow, I couldn't even Google the old Adventist logo, it's probably been wiped off the face of the earth. If anyone remembers WAY BACK in yesteryear when the REAL symbol of our church was evident, please post it for those who may not have been around. I really wanted to make a side by side comparison. The old logo, which is BY FAR SUPERIOIR to the present ATTEMPT ata logo is far better, and IDENTIFIES Adventism from amongst the Protestant churches. I may have to draw it. lol
Until later, Nades :-)
