With respect to the SDA Church and our church's daily Christian living and witness, who is the focal point of the SDA church?

Yes, Jesus Christ is obviously the focal point of the SDA Church, both in the church and in the home.
Some people, however, think that Ellen White is the focal point of the SDA Church. How would you respond to that allegation?

I would say that those who state that Ellen White is the focal point of the SDA Church are correct.
The spirituality of the SDA Church is governed completely by the perspective of EGW.

Thats right Dave it would be. Yet the focal point of the Seventh-Day Adventist church is going out to all the world and letting people know that Jesus is coming, and introducing them to Christ. This is what I have seen and am witnessing for the past few years prior and after being a member of the SDA church.
God Bless and Happy Sabbath,
Will

Most people that I’ve come across who think this are former Adventists or are non-Adventists who have a negative view of us. They must get this idea from somewhere, either misunderstood or not.

If I could judge just from my own sphere of associates, this claim is unfounded. The pastors I have known have ALWAYS preached Jesus Christ—not EGW. Her writings are often quoted, but shouldn’t that be expected from a group of people who believe that she’s a messenger of God? I have come across a *few* Adventists who behave as if the messenger is the focal point, compared with most whose focal point is Christ.
As for the “spirituality of the SDA Church” being governed completely by the perspective of EGW, I’d like for this point to be clarified before I comment further. How do you mean this? Please define “spirituality” as you mean it for Adventists.
