1 Corinthians 310-13 (NIV) 10 By the grace God
has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise
builder, and someone else is building on it. But
each one should build with care. 11 For no one
can lay any foundation other than the one already
laid, which is Jesus Christ

Luke 646-48 Why do you call me Lord, Lord,
and not do what I tell you? Everyone who comes to
me and hears my words and does them, I will show
you what he is like he is like a man building a
house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on
the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream
broke against that house and could not shake it,
because it had been well built.

Isaiah 2816 Therefore thus says the Lord God,
Behold, I am the one who has laid as a

Revelation 24-5
4 Yet I hold this against you You have forsaken
the love you had at first. 5 Consider how far you
have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at
first. If you do not repent, I will come to you
and remove your lampstand from its place.

Revelation 31-4
These are the words of him who holds the seven
spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your
deeds you have a reputation of being alive, but
you are dead. 2 Wake up! Strengthen what remains
and is about to die, for I have found your deeds
unfinished in the sight of my God

I am filled with sadness when I think of our
condition as a people. The Lord has not closed
heaven to us, but our own course of continual
backsliding has separated us from God. Pride,
covetousness, and love of the world have lived in
the heart without fear of banishment or
condemnation. Grievous and presumptuous sins have
dwelt among us. And yet the general opinion is
that the church is flourishing and that peace and
spiritual prosperity are in all her borders.

Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not

Revelation 31-6
The one who is victorious will, like them, be
dressed in white. I will never blot out the name
of that person from the book of life, but will
acknowledge that name before my Father and his
angels. Whoever has ears, let them hear what the
Spirit says to the churches.

If Satan sees that the Lord is blessing His
people and preparing them to discern his
delusions, he will work with his master power to
bring in fanaticism on the one hand and cold
formalism on the other, that he may gather in a
harvest of souls.--2SM 19 (1890).

The watchmen are responsible for the condition of
the people. While you open the door to pride,
envy, doubt, and other sins, there will be
strife, hatred, and every evil work. Jesus, the
meek and lowly One, asks an entrance as your
guest but you are afraid to bid Him enter. He
has spoken to us in both the Old and the New
Testament He is speaking to us still by His
Spirit and His providences. His instructions are
designed to make men true to God and true to
themselves. Testimonies Vol 5 page 235

Let us hold fast the confession of our faith as
the pioneers did, he said. They faced many
obstacles and antagonism just as we do, but let
us hold fast our belief in Gods Truth, His Word,
and His love for His church. This church will not
fail and will not fall apart. Your church, Gods
church, will go through to the end through the
power of the Holy Spirit.

The church has turned back from following Christ
her Leader and is steadily retreating toward
Egypt. Yet few are alarmed or astonished at their
want of spiritual power. Doubt, and even
disbelief of the testimonies of the Spirit of
God, is leavening our churches everywhere. Satan
would have it thus. Ministers who preach self
instead of Christ would have it thus..

The Lord is soon to come. There must be a
refining, winnowing process in every church, for
there are among us wicked men who do not love the
truth or honour God.--RH March 19, 1895.

We are in the shaking time, the time when
everything that can be shaken will be shaken. The
Lord will not excuse those who know the truth if
they do not in word and deed obey His

One thing is certain Those Seventh-day
Adventists who take their stand under Satan's
banner will first give up their faith in the
warnings and reproofs contained in the
Testimonies of God's Spirit.--3SM 84 (1903).

Ministers and doctors may depart from the faith,
as the Word declares they will, and as the

The church may appear as about to fall, but it
does not fall. It remains, while the sinners in
Zion will be sifted out--the chaff separated from
the precious wheat. This is a terrible ordeal,
but nevertheless it must take place.--2SM 380
(1886).

  five things and forget five things.
