Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! Isaiah 5:20, 21
"The Lord requires every man to be at his post of duty doing the very work the Lord has appointed to be done. Let every movement be preceded by humble, earnest prayer.
The truth is to go forth as a lamp that
burneth.
Those who are guardians of the truth are to act as men who are
wide awake....
All the terrible consequences of sin will come to those who,
even though they may be nominal church members, regard it as a light
matter to set aside the law of Jehovah, and to make no distinction
between good and evil.
--There are many men, apparently moral, but who are not Christians.
--They
are deceived in their estimate of what constitutes true Christians.
--They
possess an alloy of character that destroys the value of the gold, and
they cannot be stamped with the impress of divine approval.
They must be
rejected as impure, worthless metal.
We cannot, of ourselves, perfect a true moral character, but we can
accept of Christ's righteousness. Christ has left before us a perfect pattern of what we are to be as sons
and daughters of God." E.G.W.
