@@@^“Page after page might be written in regard to these things. Whole conferences are becoming leavened with the same perverted principles. ‘For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.’ The Lord will work to purify His church. I tell you in truth, the Lord is about to turn and overturn in the institutions called by His name.”—“Testimonies to Ministers,” pp 372-3.
Habakkuk 4:6
@@@^We as candidates for the 144,000, are encouraged, therefore, with the possibility of becoming saints without guile in our mouths. With this sweet prospect before us, why should not every Present Truth believer determine to overcome every besetment, and receive the “seal of God” —and “reflect the image of Jesus fully?”
Habakkuk 4:8
@@@^“The workman for God should make earnest efforts to become a representative of Christ, discarding all uncomely gestures and uncouth speech. He should endeavor to use correct language. There is a large class who are careless in the way they speak, yet by careful, painstaking attention, these may become representatives of the truth. Everyday they should make advancement. They should not detract from their usefulness and influence by cherishing defects of manner, tone, or language. Common, cheap expressions should be replaced by sound, pure words. By constant watchfulness and earnest discipline, the Christian youth may keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking guile.”—“Counsels to Teachers,” p. 238.
Habakkuk 5:3
@@@^By means of the poem, “No. 8,” the Code office has found that a large majority of Present Truth believers are woefully wanting. Whereas, in view of the nature of the message, all should immediately have been possessed of such a burning zeal to respond to this self-examination test as would soon have ‘swamped the Code office with their papers; instead only about a hundred believers in all participated.
Habakkuk 5:4
@@@^This great neglect on the part of so many to take advantage of all the opportunities offered them, tells the sad story that a large majority of the Code readers are yet victims of their old Laodicean passiveness, and their knowledge and zeal for the truth are still virtually at death’s ebb.
Habakkuk 5:8
@@@^If from the results of the examination there is one lesson above another to be learned, perhaps it is that contained in the following remarkable fact: Out of all the participants, only about ten per cent followed explicitly all the thirteen specific rules governing manuscript! Such inability, carelessness, or indifference, in one way or another, in carrying out specific orders has been enacted over and over again by nearly all Present Truth believers.
Habakkuk 5:17
@@@^“Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.” (2 Tim. 1:6.) “Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth. Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up, by putting you in remembrance.” (2 Peter 1:12, 13.) These scriptures apply now just as verily as they did in Timothy’s time.
Habakkuk 6:3
@@@^Beloved, are we of those who, “having ears, hear . . . not”? or give we joyful heed to what the True Witness says? If we love the Lord, love the message, love the brethren, love our own souls, will we not give demonstration by neglecting nothing, and by quickly responding to everything, thus showing ourselves approved workmen that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth, thus fitting, ourselves for the great work of God?

Habakkuk 7:4
@@@^Hence, if this glorious pictorial representation, portraying the grand finale of the plan of salvation, which none but the Master Artist, Himself, could do, has thus ceasely challenged and inspired time’s reverential thousands to whom its truth must needs then have remained the better part a mystery, what dynamic inspiration, then, yea, and exulting, holy, transporting joy, should it afford us, “the elect of God,” who are now privileged to behold the Divine Hand gradually drawing away the veil of mystery, and thus identifying us as that immortal company—the 144,000, the ineffable privilege of being one of which has ever been the hopeless wish of the Christian!
Habakkuk 8:5
@@@^Do ye long to become perfect “even as your Father in Heaven is perfect,” and to grasp the most “glorious of truths to come before the people of God”? And do ye long to go, danger-free, to and fro over the face of God’s earth? Keep, then, in the harness with the, bay horses, for “the bay. . . walked to and fro through the earth.” (Zech. 6:7.)
Habakkuk 8:8
@@@^And O, ye followers of the Lamb, if your hearts cry out that ye might be priests of the most high God, and bring many precious souls to a saving knowledge of the truth, ye shall receive the seal of God, escape the slaughter, and hear Him say to you:
Habakkuk 10:6
@@@^The church, ever since emerging from her long sojourn in the wilderness, has not been able at once to shake from herself all the dirt—heathen customs—upon her, nor as yet to comprehend the whole truth, although the reformers were very zealous to restore the principles of the early church. Consequently, it has taken many years to recover the down-trodden doctrines, such as Righteousness by Faith, the Holy Spirit, Free Grace, Baptism by Immersion, etc. Moreover, after the death of each reformer, the churches which they founded, fell into the hands of foolish shepherds who were reaching out after numbers rather than after real converts. Thus as they flooded the churches with worldlings, they caused her to backslide after each forward step, with the consequence that the Lord has had to shift the responsibilities from the old leadership to a new one in each call of reformation.
Habakkuk 11:1
@@@^No true, loyal Seventh-day Adventist whose eyes are opened to the condition of the church, and who reads these startling statements concerning her sad fate can but weep, yea, even “sigh and cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst” of her. If we Present truth believers really believe what we profess, we will actually “Cry aloud, and spare not.” We will hasten to our brethren who are so engrossed with the machinery of the church, and plead earnestly with them to listen to the voice of mercy which is being sounded now in the “eleventh hour call.”
Habakkuk 11:7
@@@^As I sit here in the presence of my Maker, meditating and praying over what I might do to help the very men with whom I have been the most intimately associated in labor during the past three decades, the thought comes to me that I should address an open letter to my brethren in the S. D. A. Ministry, stating frankly my convictions regarding what clearly appears to me to be my plain duty to my fellow workers in the cause of present truth.
Habakkuk 13:4
@@@^“In these days he has instituted no new plan to preserve the purity of his people. As of old, he entreats the erring ones who profess his name to repent and turn from their evil ways. Now, as then, by the mouth of His chosen servants He predicts the dangers before them. He sounds the note of warning, and reproves sin just as faithfully as in the days of Jeremiah. But the Israel of our time has the same temptations to scorn reproof and hate counsel as had ancient Israel. They too often turn a deaf ear to the words that God has given his servants for the benefit of those who profess the truth. Though the Lord in mercy withholds for a time the retribution of their sin, as in the days of Jeremiah, he will not always stay his hand, but will visit iniquity with righteous judgment.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 4, p. 165.
Habakkuk 13:7
@@@^My brethren, “God will not condemn any at the Judgment because they honestly believed a lie, or conscientiously cherished error; but it will be because they neglected the opportunities of making themselves acquainted with truth.”—“Testimonies to Ministers,” p. 437.
Habakkuk 14:3
@@@^“We are on dangerous ground when we cannot meet together like Christians and courteously examine a controverted point. I feel like fleeing from the place lest I receive the mold of those who cannot candidly investigate the doctrines of the Bible. Those who cannot impartially examine the evidences of a position that differs from theirs are not fit to teach in any department of God’s cause. How can the Truth be laid out before our people that they will every one arouse from the lethargy which is upon them? How shall we present the need of greater zeal and more determined earnestness in searching the Scriptures?
Habakkuk 14:6
@@@^And now, my brethren, in view of the fact that you will be compelled sooner or later officially to reject the message of “The Shepherd’s Rod” if you do not accept it, my earnest appeal to you is that you make sure that you are not as verily staining your hands in the blood of Christ, as did the Jewish Church, of whom you profess to be the antitype, and are thus not “crucifying” Him “afresh and putting Him to an open shame,” by rejecting His truth. @3E.
