| ". . . It will require much diligence and a continual struggle to keep evil out of our churches. There must be regid, impartial discipline exercised; for some who have a semblance of religion will seen to undermind the faith of others and will privily work to exalt themselves." Testimonies, Vol. 5, page 538 |
| "Every heart emptied of self will have the quickening energy of the Holy Spirit. It is now that some are being worked by satanic agencies. Mark the fruit. The whole life is one of ambitious determination to carry out their own plans and purposes, to do a special work to exalt themselves. God puts to them the challenge, "Choose ye this day whom ye will serve. If it be God, serve Him; if Baal, serve him." But some have been fixing themselves for a long time by a species of deception and misrepresentation and prevarication, because they have not turned from their idols to serve the living and true God. {18MR 129.1} |

Special Testimony to the Oakland and Battle Creek Churches
Section: Danger of Falling
God has selected a people in these last days, whom he has made the depositaries of his law; and this people will ever have disagreeable tasks to perform. "I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil; and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars; and hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast labored, and hast not fainted." It will require much diligence and a continual struggle to keep evil out of our churches. There must be rigid, impartial discipline exercised; for some who have a semblance of religion, will seek to undermine the faith of others, and will privily work to exalt themselves. PH157 page 27 (March 1897) PH = Pamphlets
