http://liberaladventist.blogspot.com/2015/08/a-woman-and-her-money-perfect-picture.html
Most of these posts are sermon manuscripts. You can access audio and video of the sermons through the Green Lake Church web site. The manuscripts are not identical to the actual preached sermon.

MrAdventist: December 2009
http://mradventist.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Commentary on the life and work of Adventist pastors by an an old, White, liberal Adventist pastor. Wednesday, December 9, 2009. I am a lousy evangelist. Which is puzzling to me. I have always liked talking about God and spiritual life to people who are not believers. I trained under two different evangelists with solid reputations–Roy Naden and Harry Robinson. My church attracts non-Christians. On the other hand, I did not call my OB friend for advice when my son had a sudden onset of pain in his groin ...

A review of The Apocalyptic Vision and the Neutering of Adventism by George R. Knight. This book is Knight’s answer to his own question: Why be Adventist?

In our church services, I invite people to text any comments or questions they have. At the end of the sermon, an "editor" inputs the questions into powerpoint and they are displayed on the screen and I answer them. Often the questions are quite probing. (The editor is responsible for filtering questions are are not directly related to the sermon.). Pastor, ...

MrAdventist: Bending the Rules
http://mradventist.blogspot.com/2011/06/bending-rules.html
Commentary on the life and work of Adventist pastors by an an old, White, liberal Adventist pastor. Wednesday, June 1, 2011. God gave the Jews very strict rules for the observance of Passover. He also, apparently, blessed deviations from these rules. A particularly outstanding example is found in 2 Chronicles 20. It is true that one of our jobs as clergy is to maintain the rituals and traditions of our faith. We believe these rituals and traditions have come to us from God. God, Rocks, and Souls.
