E.G.W. to our Ministers SERIES: #13 [Mouthpiece for God]

Mouthpiece for God

"He who accepts the position of being a mouthpiece for God should consider it highly essential that

he present the truth with all the grace and intelligence that he can acquire through discipline of the mind, and in such a manner that the truth will lose nothing by his presentation.

Let no one consider it a little thing to speak in a thick voice and a clumsy manner, or to pitch the voice in a high, un­natural key, and talk loud and long, and thus abuse the organs of speech given of God, and make himself unacceptable to the people.

"Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." Let every man have Christ abiding in him."
Ellen G. White, in Review and Herald, March 5, 1895/Matthew 5:48
