SDA Issues - What is our "Present Truth"?

"There are many precious truths contained in the Word of God, but it is "present truth" that the flock needs now.

I have seen the danger of the messengers running off from the important points of present truth, to dwell upon subjects that are not calculated to unite the flock and sanctify the soul. Satan will here take every possible advantage to injure the cause.
 
But such subjects as
*the sanctuary,
*in connection with the 2300 days,
*the commandments of God
*and the faith of Jesus,
- are perfectly calculated to explain the past Advent movement
- and show what our present position is,
- establish the faith of the doubting,
- and give certainty to the glorious future.
These, I have frequently seen, were the principal subjects on which the messengers should dwell."
Early Writings p.63 E.G.W.
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,... Revelation 14:6
