Has God no living church? He has a church, but it is the church militant, not the church triumphant. We are sorry that there are defective members, that there are tares amid the wheat. . . . Although there are evils existing in the church, and will be until the end of the world, the church in these last days is to be the light of the world that is polluted and demoralized by sin. The church, enfeebled and defective, needing to be reproved, warned, and counseled, is the only object upon earth upon which Christ bestows His supreme regard.
Ellen G. WhiteAll the riches of the world are not of sufficient value to redeem one perishing soul.
Ellen G. WhiteWe 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.
