Eyes–On Someone Else.

José — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 07:52:25 +0000

I saw that some are withering spiritually. They have lived some time watching to keep their brethren straight; watching for every fault, to make trouble with them. And while doing this, their minds are not on God, nor on Heaven, nor on the truth; but just where Satan wants them–on some one else. Their souls are neglected, they seldom see or feel their own faults, for they have had enough to do to watch the faults of others, without so much as looking to their own souls, to search their own hearts. A person’s dress, a bonnet, an apron, takes their attention. They must talk to this one, or that one, and it is sufficient to dwell upon for weeks. I saw that all the religion a few poor souls have, is to watch the garments and acts of others, and find fault with them. Unless they reform, there will be no place in Heaven for them, for they would find fault with the Lord himself. – Ellen G. White, 4bSG 30.2

Author Of All Truth.

Christ is the Author of all truth. Every brilliant conception, every thought of wisdom, every capacity and talent of men, is the gift of Christ. He borrowed no new ideas from humanity; for he originated all. But when he came to earth, he found the bright gems of truth which he had intrusted to man, all buried up in superstition and tradition. Truths of most vital importance were placed in the frame-work of error, to serve the purpose of the arch-deceiver. The opinions of men, the most popular sentiments of the people, were glossed over with the appearance of truth, and were presented as the genuine gems of heaven, worthy of attention and reverence. But Christ swept away erroneous theories of every grade. No one save the world’s Redeemer had power to present the truth in its primitive purity, divested of the error that Satan had accumulated to hide its heavenly beauty. – Ellen G. White, RH, January 7, 1890 par. 9

A Specimen Of The Principles.

“God designs that the teacher of the Bible should in his character and home life be a specimen of the principles of the truth which he is teaching to his fellow men..” – Ellen G. White, RH, May 17, 1887 par. 4

It Is Not You.

“And when the people embrace the truth under your labors, do not think that it is you that have done the work, but remember that it is Jesus working through you; and let Jesus put his Spirit upon them, and also upon you, that you may work with all the ability that God has given you. If you have a sharp, bright thought, it is not you who created that thought, but God.” – Ellen G. White, RH, May 10, 1887 par. 19

Waiting For You.

José — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 10:50:03 +0000

“Heavenly angels have long been waiting for human agents…to cooperate with them in the great work to be done. They are waiting for you.” – Ellen G. White, Heavenly Places p.314

Every day.

“To follow Jesus requires wholehearted conversion at the start, and a repetition of this conversion every day.” — Ellen G. White, Letter 39, 1899.

The promise is not appreciated.

José — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 01:18:13 +0000

The lapse of time has wrought no change in Christ’s parting promise to send the Holy Spirit as His representative… If the fulfillment of the promise is not seen as it might be, it is because the promise is not appreciated as it should be. If all were willing, all would be filled with the Spirit. – Ellen G. White, AA p.50

No longer.

“Let those who profess to be servants of the living God no longer bow down to the idol of men’s opinions, no longer be slaves to any shameful lust, no longer bring a polluted offering to the Lord, a sin-stained soul.” — Ellen G. White, LS p.330
