Quote

The young among us are, as a general thing, allied to the world. But few maintain a special warfare against the internal foe. But few have an earnest, anxious desire to know and do the will of God.

More quotes by Ellen G. White

Image
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
Image
Sisters, when about their work, should not put on clothing which would make them look like images to frighten the crows from the corn. It is more gratifying to their husbands and children to see them in a becoming, well-fitting, attire, than it can be to merely visitors or strangers.
Ellen G. White
Image
God tests and proves us by the common occurrences of life. It is the little things which reveal the chapters of the heart.
Ellen G. White
Image
I prize my seamstress, I value my copyist but my cook, who knows well how to prepare the food to sustain life, and nourish brain, bone, and muscle, fills the most important place among the helpers in my family.

Ministers of God's choosing are engaged in a great work. They are warring not merely against men, but Satan and his angels.
Ellen G. White
Image
The strongest argument in favor of the gospel is a loving and lovable Christian.
Ellen G. White
Image
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
Image
Ministers should be Bible students. They should thoroughly furnish themselves with the evidences of our faith and hope, and then, with full control of the voice and their feelings, present these evidences in such a manner that the people can calmly weigh them, and decide upon the evidences presented.
Ellen G. White
Image
God has a church upon the earth, who are His chosen people, who keep His commandments. He is leading, not stray offshoots, not one here and one there, but a people. The truth is a sanctifying power, but the church militant is not yet the church triumphant.
Ellen G. White
Image
We need no fanciful teaching regarding the personality of God. What God desires us to know of Him is revealed in His word and His works. The beautiful things of nature reveal His character and His power as Creator.
Ellen G. White
Image
God designed that the living machinery should be in daily activity. For in this activity or motion is its preserving power.... The more we exercise, the better will be the circulation of the blood.
Ellen G. White
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Faith in the atonement and intercession of Christ will keep us steadfast and immovable amid the temptations that press upon us in the church militant.
Ellen G. White
Image
God requires you individually to come up to the point, to make an entire surrender. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Ellen G. White
Image
There shall be no more sin, neither shall there beany more death.

Image
There is no exercise that can take the place of walking. by it the circulation of the blood is greatly improved. Walking, in all cases where it is possible, is the best remedy for the diseased bodies, because in this, all of the organs of the body are brought into use.
Ellen G. White
Image
I would warn my brethren and sisters to never flatter persons because of their ability for they cannot bear it. Self is easily exalted, and in consequence, persons lose their balance.
Ellen G. White
Image
In these letters which I write, in the testimonies I bear, I am presenting to you that which the Lord has presented to me. I do not write one article in the paper expressing merely my own ideas. They are what God has opened before me in vision--the precious rays of light shining from the throne.
Ellen G. White
Image
Ministers should not pray so loud, and long, as to exhaust the strength. It is not necessary to weary the throat and lungs in prayer. God's ear is ever open to hear the heart-felt petitions of his humble servants, and he does not require them to wear out the organs of speech in addressing him.
