The Danger for the Minister

Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
Ezekiel 34:9
"In every age the gospel minister has been in danger of lowering his mes­sage to meet the lowered standard of the people. "Like people, like priest." This is the danger facing the ministry of the Seventh-day Ad­ventist Church.

*I must not refrain from declaring the whole counsel of God because I sense the sinfulness of my own natural heart.

*I need to cry mightily to God to sanctify me through His truth and make my life tally with my preaching.

*I must not refrain from declaring the whole counsel of God because that counsel will condemn prac­tices in my own family or will strike against the doings of my dearest personal friends."
F.M. WILCOX/MinistryMagazine-1934
