Religious, political, and social movements are not new to society. It seems to be part of our human nature to seek a “better way” of doing things. However, when it comes to the church, do we tread on dangerous ground when we seek a “better way” of doing things by incorporating ideas from other religions and movements into Adventism?

Raising a Red Flag examines two unrelated movements that simply share the same name—The One Project—and the same concept of transformation. One is a secular project that promotes shared global values and New Age concepts; the other is run by Adventists and promotes focusing solely on Jesus. By studying these two movements, Pastor Jan Voerman hopes to stimulate discussion and cause us to analyze the messages that fight for our attention and call us to change our thinking.
