@@@^Some teachers of the sealing message are taking an extreme position on health reform, dress reform, marriage, etc., and therefore, we request that all Present Truth followers refrain from teaching anything @9more@7 or@9 less@7 than has been published in the Code, the books, and the tracts. The messages are plain in themselves, and you need not enlarge upon any point, but rather make sure that you, yourself, are walking in the light @9only as far as the light@7 of Present Truth @9leads you@7, for which light and progress in the Christian pathway you, yourself, and those whom you teach, are responsible. Thus by precept and example, you will avoid all the pitfalls, whether they be in health reform, dress reform, or other doctrines, and will save yourself the embarrassment of having to put out the sparks of your own kindling, which only burn, wound, and lead astray instead of giving light and warmth. Says the Spirit of Prophecy:
Joel 3:6
@@@^“The young people here at Mt. Carmel Academy are eager to prepare themselves to go out and give the message of present truth, and to be useful agencies in the establishing of Christ’s kingdom.
Joel 4:13
@@@^“Present Truth found me about three years ago, and has made many changes in my life, showing me that I did not know My Saviour before. But now He is the dearest Friend I have. My heart burns with love for the truth; my whole mind and attention are centered upon the work of this last great sealing message.
Joel 7:10
@@@^We are enjoying our sojourn here, and our earnest desire is that we shall make some small contribution toward the advancement of the work for which Mt. Carmel stands, knowing that from this place there is to go forth literature and workers with the stamp of God’s approval upon the—books and tracts, containing nothing but the truth, and men and women who would rather die than belie their profession—and for this noble service to the church and the world, we join in earnest prayer with the Present Truth believers the world over. @3E. T. W.
Amos 9:3
@@@^“Whatever may be man’s intellectual advancement, let him not for a moment think that there is no need of thorough and continuous searching of the Scriptures for greater light.”—“Gospel Workers,” p. 300. “When a doctrine is presented that does not meet our minds, we should go to the word of God, seek the Lord in prayer, and give no place for the enemy to come in with suspicion and prejudice.”—Id., p. 301. “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” (Isa. 8:20.) “If the light presented meets this test, we are not to refuse to accept it because it does not agree with our ideas. . . . No matter by whom light is sent, we should open our hearts to receive it with the meekness of Christ.”—Id., p. 302. “When a message is presented to God’s people, they should not rise up in opposition to it: they should go to the Bible, comparing it with the law and the testimony, and if it does not bear this test, it is not true.”—Mrs. E.G. White,—“Review and Herald,” Feb. 18, 1890. “We should all know what is being taught among us; for if it is truth, we need it. We are all under obligation to God to know what He sends us.”—“Gospel Workers,” p. 301. “The people of God will be called upon to stand before kings, princes, rulers, and great men of the earth, and they must know that they do know what is truth.”—Mrs. E. G. White,—“Review and Herald,” Feb. 18, 1890. .
Amos 9:4
@@@^“My people are destroyed [cut off] for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee.” (Hos. 4:6.) “There is only one way in which this knowledge can be obtained. We can attain to an understanding of God’s word only through the illumination of that Spirit by which the word was given.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 5, p. 703. “We are living at a time when Satan is at work on the right hand and on the left, before and behind us; and yet as a people we are asleep. God wills that a voice shall be heard arousing his people to action.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 5, p. 709. “When He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth. . . . He shall receive of Mine, and shall shew it unto you.” (Jno. 16:13-15.) “We must not trust to others to search the Scriptures for us. Some of our leading brethren have frequently taken their position on the wrong side; and if God would send a message and wait for these older brethren to open the way for its advancement, it would never reach the people.”—“Gospel Workers,” p. 303. “The rebuke of the Lord will rest upon those who would bar the way, that clearer light shall not come to the people. A great work is to be done, and God sees that our leading men have need of more light, that they may unite with the messengers whom He sends to accomplish the work that He designs shall be done. The Lord has raised up messengers, and endued them with His Spirit, and has said, ‘Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show My people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.’ Let no one run the risk of interposing between the people and the message of Heaven. This message will go to the people; and if there were no voice among men to give it, the very stones would cry out.”—“Gospel Workers,” p. 304. .

Obadiah 7:9
@@@^Yet, notwithstanding the fact that but few, if any, believers in Present Truth are fully meeting the foregoing demands, nevertheless, Mt. Carmel, with the limited income available, is expected by all not only to develop all the projects that constitute building a “camp,” but also to send forth and sustain laborers in the field, publish and circulate Present Truth literature, maintain a training school, care for the poor and the sick, and carry on the many other phases of the work. How can this be done when so few are willing to assume their full share of the burden? Is it any wonder that God now calls for all the faithful in Israel to come up to the help of the Lord against the mighty, by making a covenant with Him by sacrifice?
Obadiah 8:3
@@@^“Many who profess the truth are growing close and covetous. They need to be alarmed for themselves. They have so much of their treasure upon the earth that their hearts are on their treasure. Much the larger share of their treasure is in this world, and but little in Heaven; therefore their affections are placed on earthly possessions instead of on the heavenly inheritance. There is now a good opportunity for them to use their means for the benefit of suffering humanity, and also for the advancement of the truth. This enterprise should never be left to struggle in poverty. These stewards to whom God has intrusted means should now come up to the work and use their means to His glory. To those who through covetousness withhold their means, it will prove a curse rather than a blessing.
Obadiah 11:12
@@@^“Although I have been an Adventist since 1913, I do not get to attend Sabbath School and church. But I do receive the Symbolic Code, and though I am past seventy-four years of age, I can still read, and this Present Truth magazine means more to me, and brings me more joy, than all the sermons I could listen to, for I believe that it carries the truth for these last days.” @3(Signed) Mrs. A. K. Rogers@4Oklahoma
Obadiah 12:3
@@@^“May the Lord pardon my long neglect in not expressing before this my appreciation of the ‘Code’ and other Present Truth literature. I think all of it is wonderful. I have been a believer of Present Truth for a little over a year, and am indeed rejoicing in it. The Lord certainly is merciful to send us such a stirring message to arouse us from our Laodicean condition, in order that we might not be lost: and we ought continually to thank Him for the merciful warning.” @3(Signed) Mrs. E. L.@4Portland, Ore.
Obadiah 14:5
@@@^“From the light that has been given me, there has been a carelessness in this respect. I might speak of it as Paul presents it. It is carried out in will-worship and neglecting of the body. But this voluntary humility, this will-worship and neglecting of the body, is not the humility that savors of Heaven. That humility will be particular to have the person, and actions, and apparel of all who preach the holy truth of God, right and perfectly proper, so that every item connected with us will recommend our holy religion. The very dress will be a recommendation of the truth to unbelievers. It will be a sermon in itself. . . .
Obadiah 14:8
@@@^“God requires all who profess to be his chosen people, though they are not teachers of the truth, to be careful to preserve personal cleanliness and purity, also cleanliness and order in their houses and upon their premises. We are examples to the world, living epistles known and read of all men. God requires all who profess godliness, and especially those who teach the truth to others, to abstain from all appearance of evil.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 2, pp. 610-615.
Jonah 3:6
@@@^“Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture [truths that please you], but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? And to have drunk of the deep waters [the greater truths], but ye must foul the residue with your feet? And as for My flock, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.” (Ezek. 34:18, 19.)
Jonah 3:7
@@@^Do not, my brothers and sisters, abuse God’s mercy, and turn a deaf ear to His pleadings by questioning and criticizing everything now “in the unfolding of truth,” when you should be feeding on the “green pastures” and on the holy “rain,” lest He surprise you at your “unholy feast.” (“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 5, p.690.) Why should we be like the Jews of old who questioned and criticized Christ’s work, character, and experience, all the way from His parentage to His resurrection? They thought themselves wise in doing this, but as their deeds later proved both to themselves and to the world, they were but fools. And now may we, brother, sister, profit by their experience, and take the Lord’s advice to lay aside all human wisdom and become child-like, so that He may fill us with divine wisdom, thus proving both to ourselves and to the world that we are not as the Jews of old. God has delegated no one either to look after or to supervise His work. He is well able to take care of it, and without our criticisms, but He cannot take care of our salvation if we do not allow Present Truth to “engross the whole mind, the whole attention” (“Early Writings,” p. 118), to impel us to spread the message, and to eradicate our long cultivated evil habits, rather than to allow Satan to urge us to try to direct the work.
Jonah 13:5
@@@^I was greatly impressed with the zeal of the laity in bringing before others the Sabbath truth in the light of the impending Sunday bill which is now before Congress. They are ever eager to hear any expounding of the Scriptures by the ministry. But as I sat listening to the sermons, I could not bar from my mind the wonderful studies which we at Mt. Carmel are privileged to hear, and I longed to have God’s professed people share with me that which He is sending to His people at this time—truth that was a “hidden pearl” but which, now when “the fulness of the time” has come, is in such abundance and so rich that prophecy calls it “butter and honey” (Isa. 7:15).
Jonah 14:7
@@@^Then sometime ago, a brother from———— lent me Volume One of “The Shepherd’s Rod,” which, though I read considerably, I did not at the time realize to be the voice of God to me. But tract No. 2, showing God’s changing the leadership, convinced me of the truth of “The Shepherd’s Rod,” and now I am convinced on all points of this message and am fully satisfied that it is Present Truth.
Micah 3:1
@@@^My brethren, how can you, in the face of these plain facts, afford to close your heart against the truth, which is to seal you for eternity with the seal of God? May He help you to see that your @9single@7-sealing theory is as destitute of truth as are the hills of Gilboa of dew and rain.
Micah 4:12
@@@^“I have been shown that many who profess to have a knowledge of present truth, know not what they believe. They do not understand the evidences of their faith. They have no just appreciation of the work for the present time. When the time of trial shall come, there are men now preaching to others, who will find, upon examining the positions they hold, that there are many things for which they can give no satisfactory reason. Until thus tested, they knew not their great ignorance. And there are many in the church who take it for granted that they understand what they believe, but, until controversy arises, they do not know their own weakness. When separated from those of like faith, and compelled to stand singly and alone to explain their belief, they will be surprised to see how confused are their ideas of what they had accepted as truth. Certain it is that there has been among us a departure from the living God, and a turning to men, putting human in place of divine wisdom.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 5, p.707.
Micah 15:3
@@@^And as we pray and sing in the spirit and with understanding (1 Cor. 14:15), our songs will express the truths and experiences of the message, of Present Truth, and then we shall see that “the temple of God is opened in heaven, and the threshold flushed with the glory which is for every church that will love God and keep His commandments. . . . Then we shall have spiritual eyesight to discern the inner courts of the celestial temple. We shall catch the themes of song and thanksgiving of the heavenly choir round about the throne.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 6, p. 368.
