Fulcrum7 has a two-fold purpose: To inform and encourage people in general and Seventh-day Adventist Christians in particular. God has called us to come along side of people and encourage them, all the more as we see the Day approaching. Though we live in an unstable world, you can find stability in God’s mercy & truth (Psalm 57:3). Our goal is to point you to these two virtues of God.
We renounce political correctness as always political and seldom correct. It is the antithesis of truth, and thus an enemy of the Everlasting Gospel. We are in the midst of a cultural tyranny unknown by any period in history, and the Everlasting Gospel is our worldview — it gives us a biblical identity.
For some thirty-years, the Adventist grassroots have not had a voice in the Church, due to a liberal annexation of most of our educational centers, Executive Committees and Conference and Union leaders. North American Division leadership has systematically supplied cover for this progressive takeover of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Our goal at Fulcrum7 is to provide a format where the voice of committed grassroots members can be heard again. We believe it is a voice worth hearing. Amazingly, there have been 1,077,937 unique visitors to the Fulcrum7 site in just four years.
Fulcrum7 presents a range of topics from a biblical Christian perspective. The topics that we discuss are a mixture of encouragement, serious theological issues, testimonies, and cultural concerns that impact the life and faith of Believers. Every now and then a dash of appropriate humor is published.
People sometimes ask "What is a Fulcrum7?" A fulcrum is a lever, and a pivot point. Seven is the perfect number of Creation, exemplified in the Sabbath rest. Joined together, we hope Fulcrum7 brings courage and refreshment into your life. Enjoy!

The Supervisor - David Read esq.
David Read is a recovering attorney, who was educated at Southwestern Adventist University and the University of Texas at Austin. David developed an interest in apologetics, and wrote the book, “Dinosaurs –An Adventist View,” which thoroughly explores the origins controversy from an Adventist perspective. Since the publication of that volume, David has become famous (or infamous—opinions vary) for his commentary at both liberal and conservative Internet blogs and sites.
