@@@^In verse 14 and 15, there is great encouragement for the people of God, and it ought to strengthen our faith. “In righteousness shalt thou be established: Thou shalt be far from oppression; for…they shall surely gather together, but not by me: Whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.” The time of the fulfillment of these verses is well portrayed in Early Writings, pages 282, 283: “I saw the saints leaving the cities and villages, and associating together in companies and living in the most solitary places. Angels provided them food and water, while the wicked were suffering from hunger and thirst. Then I saw the leading men of the earth consulting together, and Satan and his angels busy around them. I saw a writing, copies of which were scattered in different parts of the land, giving orders that unless the saints should yield their peculiar faith, give up the Sabbath, and observe the first day of the week, the people were at liberty after a certain time, to put them to death.…but angels in the form of men of war fought for them. Satan wished to have the privilege of destroying the saints of the Most High; but Jesus bade His angels watch over them.…Next came the multitude of the angry wicked, and next a mass of evil angels, hurrying on the wicked to slay the saints. But before they could approach God’s people, the @9wicked must first pass this company of mighty, holy angels@7. This was impossible. The angels of God were causing them to recede, and also causing the evil angels who were pressing around them to fall back.”
Genesis 187:3
@@@^Volume 5, page 188, speaking of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob: “They lived only for God’s glory, and declared plainly that they were strangers and pilgrims on earth seeking a better country, that is, an heavenly. Their conduct proclaimed their faith… But how are the professed people of God today maintaining the honor of his name? How could the world infer that they are a peculiar people? What evidence do they give of citizenship in Heaven?… As @9your@7 course was presented before me I was pointed to the dwellings recently erected by our people in that city. These buildings are so many @9monuments of your unbelief@7 of the doctrines which you profess to hold. They are preaching sermons more effective than any delivered from the pulpit. I saw worldlings point to them with jesting and ridicule, as a denial of our faith. They proclaim that which the owners have been saying in their hearts,—’My Lord delayeth his coming’.”
Genesis 188:1
@@@^Volume 7, pages 59, 91, 92: “The Lord has instructed me to warn those who in the @9future@7 establish sanitariums in new places, to begin their work in humility, consecrating their abilities to His service. The buildings erected @9are not @7to be @9large or expensive@7. @9Small@7 local sanitariums are to be established in connection with our training-schools”… ”We must also remember that our work is to correspond with our faith. We believe that the Lord is soon to come, and should not our faith be represented in the buildings we erect? @9Shall we@7 put a large outlay of money into a building that will soon be consumed in the great conflagration? Our money means souls, and it is to be used to bring a knowledge of the truth to those who, because of sin, are under the condemnation of God.”
Genesis 245:2
@@@^In the days of ancient Israel, God’s people departed a number of times from His divine plan, which made it necessary for Him to send messages of warning by His servants, the prophets. These solemn warnings were hardly ever heeded by the ancient nation. Nevertheless those faithful servants of God performed their duty with great care. Though their lives were at stake, their message of love unappreciated, were cruelly abused by the once chosen people. Those faithful servants of God dared not start a movement of their own. Their duty was to deliver the message, and leave the results with Him who is able to handle the situation. Thus it will be now. “There will be a series of events revealing that God is master of the situation.” Volume 9, page 96.
Genesis 253:1
@@@^As a member of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination, and the mother of three children, it has been my determination to train these children which God has given me in such a way that they might be faithful to God and His truth. It is a great trial to keep them from partaking of the so-called pleasures of the world, and thereby from the spirit of the world, that they might not be misled in their conception of what God desires of us as His faithful children. The task is not an easy one, and the responsibility no less. It is in nowise lessened by taking part with those of the world.
Exodus 300:1
@@@^“Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the @9friend of God.@7” (James 2:23.) By simply doing the things that God asked of him he obtained this record: “Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.” “In thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.” (Gen. 26:5, 4.) Having childlike faith in the Word, and doing all God has said, is the only sanctification and righteousness that is Christ’s. Such are the children of Abraham, and to them is the promise. They openly declare that the blood of Christ has the power to save them from the bondage of sin, and from the condemnation of the law. They shall inherit the land for ever and ever. These are the Israel of God. There are no others, and this only is righteousness and sanctification by faith.
Numbers 1:1
@@@^Our Free Employment agency is now being organized and we pray and hope that it will prove a success from the very start . This of course will depend very much upon the faithfulness of our brethren who are standing in the light. If we move as a unit in the hand of God, we shall be a mighty power in the earth. Hence , it is necessary that strict attention be given in every line of the work, especially in small things, “for who hath despised the day of small things? saith the Lord.” ( Zech. 4 : 10. ) Therefore , it is very urgent that every believer in present truth report to our employment department as soon as he hears of any work that is to be done in whatever line it may be–small or great . Also , it is necessary that those who desire to obtain employment, state the kind of work they are best fitted for, and the amount of experience they have had along that particular line , for it is our desire to place the right person in the right job. Only those who expect to render faithful service for the least amount of money will be furnished with work.
Deuteronomy 2:2
@@@^This seems to be real activity, and let us pray to God that by the faithful efforts of these sisters, many will awake to search the Scriptures for themselves before the “door” is “closed.”
1 Samuel 2:3
@@@^“God will have men who will venture anything and everything to save souls. Those who will not move until they can see every step of the way clearly before them, will not be of advantage at this time to forward the truth of God. There must be workers now who will push ahead in the dark as well as in the light, and who will hold up bravely under discouragements and disappointed hopes, and yet work on with faith, with tears and patient hope, sowing beside all waters, trusting the Lord to bring the increase. God calls for men of nerve, of hope, faith, and endurance to work to the point.” “Life Sketches,” 213-14.
2 Samuel 7:9
@@@^Answer: There are three quotations in the SRod that are challenged as not being written by Sr. White. One of these is found in the SRod, Vol. 1, p. 110, par. 2, the second on page 14 of the same volume, par. 1, and the third in Vol. 2, pp. 151, 152. The first two references were given to Bro. Houteff by reputable S.D.A. ministers in accredited standing with the denomination. As he had more faith in the ministry at that time than he does now, he supposed that the quotations were correct beyond question, and as it was impossible for him to verify them, he took them in good faith at their (ministers’) word.
1 Kings 3:1
@@@^“All who in that evil day would fearlessly serve God according to the dictates of conscience, will need courage, firmness, and a knowledge of God and His word; for @9those who are true to God will be persecuted, their motives will be impugned, their best efforts misinterpreted, and their names cast out as evil@7. Satan will work with all his deceptive power to @9influence the heart@7 and @9becloud the understanding@7, to @9make evil appear good@7, @9and good evil@7. The @9stronger @7and @9purer@7 the @9faith of God’s people@7, and the @9firmer their determination to obey Him@7, the more @9fiercely@7 will Satan strive to @9stir up against@7 them @9the rage@7 of those who, while @9claiming@7 to be @9righteous@7, @9trample@7 upon the @9law of God@7. It will @9require@7 the @9firmest trust@7, the @9most heroic purpose@7, to @9hold fast@7 the @9faith@7 once delivered to the saints.” A.A. 430-1.
1 Kings 5:5
@@@^“A great work is to be accomplished; broader plans must be laid; a voice must go forth to arouse the nations. Men whose faith is weak and wavering are not the ones to carry forward the work at this important crisis. We need the @9courage of heroes@7 and @9the faith of martyrs@7.”
1 Chronicles 3:1
@@@^We solicit the prayers of God’s faithful people that we may do nothing that would dishonor Him, retard His work, or cause any to stumble. May we all be faithful in this sacred trust that is committed unto us and keep “Mt. Carmel Center” as sacred a place as when Mt. Sinai shook at the presence of the Lord and as it was proven on ancient Mt. Carmel that the Lord was God and not Baal, and as then the Lord rid Israel of the false prophets (teachers), may He now by “Mt. Carmel Center” do as much and more so, for the Lord wants this place to be a refuge for all who make no “excuse” for “the poor, the maimed, and the halt, and the blind” of the “city,” and of the “highways and hedges” who feel their need of Him.
2 Chronicles 2:2
@@@^Speaking directly to the denomination of what had been shown concerning the care of our own people, the Lord pointed out the mistakes of those in charge of the Health Institute in the following language: “When I saw those who managed and directed, running into the dangers shown me, of which I had warned them in public, and also in private conversation and letters, a terrible burden came upon me. That which had been shown me as a place where the suffering sick among @9us@7 could be helped, was one where sacrifice, hospitality, faith, and piety should be the ruling principles. But when unqualified calls were made for large sums of money, with the statement that stock taken would pay large per cent; when the brethren who occupied positions in the institution seemed more than willing to take larger wages than those were satisfied with who filled other and equally important stations in the great cause of truth and reform; when I learned, with pain, that, in order to make the institution popular with those not of our faith, and to secure their patronage, a spirit of compromise was rapidly gaining ground at the Institute...when I saw these things, I said, This is not that which was shown me as an institution for the sick, which would share the signal blessing of God. This is another thing.”–“Testimonies for the Church” Vol. 1, pp. 633-4.
Ezra 10:7
@@@^Where will my tithe accomplish the most good?___ If I pay my tithe for the benefit of the heathen to the neglect of my own brethren would I be saying by my own actions, “Am I my brother’s keeper?”___ Shall I respond to the call and go in search of the lost sheep of the house of Israel, or after the lost sheep in the house of Baal?___ In which one of these two fields would my tithe entitle me to the words: “Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” (Matt. 25:21.)
Nehemiah 8:7
@@@^True Sr. White advocates a vegetarian diet but she does not forbid marrying. Therefore, she does not fulfill the specifications of the prophecy. Moreover, the commandment to “abstain from meats” and the forbidding to “marry “ is not where the sin lies but rather in that they “shall depart from the faith [truth], giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron.” (verses 1, 2.) Our attention is called to the act of forbidding of “meats” and “to marry” to enable us to identify the people who have departed from the faith and that we should not affiliate ourselves with them though they may claim to be Christians.
Ecclesiastes 2:8
@@@^Brother Buckheister in Charleston, and Doctor Young in Columbia, and Doctor Stokes in Brevard, all have been faithfully leading out in the work. Arriving in Georgia we found Brethren Boynton, Kurtz, and Woods, together with the other brethren faithfully pleading with God’s professed people to accept His gracious call for a reformation and I am glad that their efforts have not been in vain and that those who have been leading out in the work in this part of the field are not the only ones who are busy, for many who “stay by the stuff” have been doing their bit.
Song of Solomon 13:4
@@@^We cannot be called “commandment-keeping people” unless we do all our work and do it on time, for one of the commandments is, “@9six@7 days shalt thou labor and do @9all@7 thy work.” If we waste a moment of our time, except it be because of some inability we would be unfit to call ourselves“commandment-keepers.” Hence, we must labor smilingly and faithfully six full days of the week. Neither can we let the work drag behind each day and yet claim to keep God’s commandments. As the work which God has assigned to everyone is neither too much nor not enough, if we faithfully labor six days and do all our work we would neither find idle time during the week nor would we find something undone at the end of the week.
Song of Solomon 13:10
@@@^“Every man’s work passes in review before God, and is registered for faithfulness or unfaithfulness. Opposite each name in the books of heaven is entered, with terrible exactness, every wrong word, every selfish act, every unfulfilled duty, and every secret sin, with every artful dissembling. Heaven sent warnings or reproofs neglected, wasted moments, unimproved opportunities, the influence exerted for good or evil, with its far-reaching results, are all chronicled by the recording angel.”—“The Great Controversy,” p. 482.
Isaiah 8:5
@@@^“The Shepherd’s Rod” has cleared the subject of the 144,000 in every respect and proves that after the purification, only “such as should be saved” will be added to the church, as the event of your question, that is, “How will some S. D. A.’s yield their faith, thus receiving the mark of the beast,” is yet future, and as we look into the matter from a distance by the eye of faith, “we see through a glass darkly.”Therefore, I can give you suggestions only.
