The Future of God’s People
Our people have been regarded as too insignificant to be worthy of
notice, but a change will come; the movements are now being made.
The Christian world is now making movements which will necessarily
bring the commandment-keeping people to notice. There is a daily
suppression of God’s truth for the theories and false doctrines of human
origin. There are plans and movements being set on foot to enslave
the consciences of those who would be loyal to God. The law-making
powers will be against God’s people. Every soul will be tested. O
that we would as a people be wise for ourselves and by precept and
example impart that wisdom to our children! Every position of our
faith will be searched into, and if we are not thorough Bible students,
established, strengthened, settled, the wisdom of the world’s great men
will be too much for us.—
