More quotes by Ellen G. White
It is a fearful mistake for us to neglect the study of the Bible to investigate theories that are misleading, diverting minds from the words of Christ to fallacies of human production.
Ellen G. White
The words of the Bible, and the Bible alone, should be heard from the pulpit.
Ellen G. White
But God will have a people upon the earth to maintain the Bible, and the Bible only, as the standard of all doctrines and the basis of all reforms.
Ellen G. White
It is a universal principle that whenever one refuses to use his God-given powers, these powers decay and perish.
Ellen G. White
Be what you wish your children to be. Parents have perpetuated by precept and example their own stamp of character to their posterity.
Ellen G. White
The hope of eternal life is not to be taken up upon slight grounds. It is a subject to be settled between God and your own soul settled for eternity. A supposed hope, and nothing more, will prove your ruin.
Ellen G. White
Gather every promise. This is Jesus, the life of every grace, the life of every promise, the life of every ordinance, the life of every blessing.
Ellen G. White
The life of Christ was a life of humble simplicity, yet how infinitely exalted was his mission. Christ is our example in all things.
Ellen G. White
True love is not a strong, fiery, impetuous passion. It is, on the contrary, an element calm and deep. It looks beyond mere externals, and is attracted by qualities alone. It is wise and discriminating, and its devotion is real and abiding.
Ellen G. White
Flesh-meats will depreciate the blood. Cook meat with spices, and eat it with rich cakes and pies, and you have a bad quality of blood.
Ellen G. White
A minister of Jesus Christ should not be regardless of his attitude. If he is the representative of Jesus Christ, his deportment, his attitude, his gestures, should be of that character which will not strike the beholder with disgust.
Ellen G. White
The spirit of Christ is a missionary spirit.
Ellen G. White
Music, when turned to a good account, is a blessing. When abused, it leads the unconsecrated to pride, vanity, and folly, and becomes one of Satan 's most attractive agencies to ensnare souls.
Ellen G. White
There are orphans who can be cared for but this some will not venture to undertake for it brings them more work than they care to do, leaving them but little time for their own pleasure.
Ellen G. White
We must hold fast to the truths which we have already received we must not look with suspicion upon any new light that God may send.
Ellen G. White
We must not think, Well, we have all the truth, we understand the main pillars of our faith, and we may rest on this knowledge. The truth is an advancing truth, and we must walk in the increasing light.
Ellen G. White
We have nothing to fear for the future, except as we shall forget the way the Lord has led us, and His teaching in our past history.
Ellen G. White
Ministers have received their wages, and some have their minds too much on their wages. They labor for wages, and lose sight of the sacredness and importance of the work.
Ellen G. White
Whatever attracts the mind from God, whatever draws the affections away from Christ, is an enemy to the soul.
Ellen G. White
Exercise will aid in the work of digestion. Take a walk after a meal but no violent exercise after a full meal.
