Here we go with another call for attitudinal self-flagellating. America is so celebrity obsessed, what should we expect?
The article is a let's be careful/warning against institutional (not personal) pride. SDA are a "don't do" denomination. They are not as gracious to other Christians as they are to them.(especially Catholics). Beware of putting Ben Carson on a pedestal because he might be damaging to the cause. Is  this just another typical "you suck try harder" sermon which echoes that many/most SDA are usually just lousy, lukewarm Laodicean losers? Why are SDA sooo ungracious. Are they improperly nurtured at church? When SDA clergy & conference leaders apologize to the members for all of their theological damage control, brow beating, verbal abuse homilies and articles, then maybe SDA members will be more gracious and not so desperate for something to gloat about!
