This week, Pastor Ted Wilson discusses Chapter 21 of The Great Controversy, titled “A Warning Rejected,” in which the concept of freedom is considered. God gave us the incredible gift of choice—the freedom to love our Creator and follow Him, or to reject all He is and go our own way. He's given us the freedom to love, or to hate; to choose life, or death.

Through the ages, God has sent His messengers to proclaim the way of life, encouraging all to "take up their cross" and follow Him. When William Miller first began preaching the Advent message, it was generally accepted by churches because the message tended to strengthen members in their faith. However, before long, the ministers and religious leaders of the well-established churches rejected the message of a soon-coming judgment and the return of Christ. As the prophetic message was rejected by these churches, a spiritual darkness descended on them that was widely noticed.
