Quote

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.

Our clothing, while modest and simple, should be of good quality . . . It should be chosen for durability rather than display.
Ellen G. White
Image
I desired to become a Christian, and prayed earnestly for the forgiveness of my sins. I felt a peace of mind resulting, and loved every one, feeling desirous that all should have their sins forgiven, and love Jesus as I did.
Ellen G. White
Image
I had often sought for the peace there is in Christ, but I could not seem to find the freedom I desired. A terrible sadness rested on my heart. I could not think of anything I had done to cause me to feel sad but it seemed to me that I was not good enough to enter Heaven, that such a thing would be altogether too much for me to expect.

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.
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.

Image
Why the Christian life is so difficult to many is because they have a divided heart. They are double-minded, which makes them unstable in all their ways.

Image
The Bible is God's great lesson book.
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
Look up, look up, and let your faith continually increase. Let this faith guide you along the narrow path that leads through the gates of the city into the great beyond, the wide, unbounded future of glory that is for the redeemed.
Ellen G. White
Image
It is the chief joy of all holy beings to witness the joy and happiness of those around them.
Ellen G. White
Image
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
Image
Whatever attracts the mind from God, whatever draws the affections away from Christ, is an enemy to the soul.
Ellen G. White
Image
A kind, courteous Christian is the most powerful argument in favor of the gospel that can be produced.
Ellen G. White
Image
It is Satan's constant effort to misrepresent the character of God, the nature of sin, and the real issues at stake in the great controversy. His sophistry lessens the obligation of the divine law and gives men license to sin.
Ellen G. White
Image
If you are suffering from your intemperance in eating or in drinking, we that are around you, or associated with you, are affected by your infirmities. We have to suffer on account of the course you pursue, which is wrong. If it has an influence to lessen your powers of mind or body, we are affected by it.
