Quote

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.

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.

Image
Youth without beauty is half a prize.
Ellen G. White
Image
The soul that is yielded to Christ becomes His own fortress, which He holds in a revolted world, and He intends that no authority shall be known in it except His own. A soul thus kept in possession by the heavenly agencies is impregnable to the assaults of Satan.
Ellen G. White
Image
A modest, godly woman will dress modestly. . . The one who is simple and unpretending in her dress and in her manners shows that she understands that a true woman is characterized by moral worth.
Ellen G. White
Image
Confound not faith and feeling together. They are distinct. Faith is ours to exercise. Believe, believe. Let your faith take hold of the blessing, and it is yours by faith. Your feelings have nothing to do with this faith.

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.

You need clear, energetic minds, in order to appreciate the exalted character of the truth, to value the atonement, and to place the right estimate upon eternal things.
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
Every act, every deed of justice and mercy and benevolence, makes heavenly music in Heaven.
Ellen G. White
Image
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
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.

Image
Nature is the mirror of divinity.
Ellen G. White
Image
Pure air, good water, sunshine, the beautiful surroundings of nature...these are God's means for restoring the sick to health.
Ellen G. White
Image
God has set up a high standard of righteousness. He has made plain a distinction between human and divine wisdom. All who work on Christ's side must work to save, not to destroy.
Ellen G. White
Image
If physical exercise were combined with mental exertion, the blood would be quickened in its circulation, the action of the heart would be more perfect, impure matter would be thrown off, and new life and vigor would be experienced in every part of the body.
Ellen G. White
Image
The righteousness by which we are justified is imputed the righteousness by which we are sanctified is imparted. The first is our title to heaven, the second is our fitness for heaven.
Ellen G. White
Image
None are so sinful that they cannot find strength, purity, and righteousness in Jesus, who died for them.
Ellen G. White
Image
We are all woven together in the great web of humanity, and whatever we can do to benefit and uplift others will reflect in blessing upon ourselves.
