Secret of Success
Bring earnestness and fervency into your prayers, and into your
Bible readings, and into your preaching, that you may leave the im-
pression that the sacred truths you are presenting to others are to you a
living reality. Whatever you do for Jesus, seek with all your powers to
do it with earnestness. Never feel that you have attained to the highest
point, and can therefore rise no higher.... Set your mind to task, that
you may present the truth in a manner to interest them. Seize the most
interesting portions of Scripture that you can bring before them, come
right to the point, and seek to fasten their attention, and instruct them
in the ways of the Lord.—
The Review and Herald, July 26, 1887
.
A great work can be done by presenting to the people the Bible
just as it reads. Carry the Word of God to every man’s door, urge
its plain statements upon every man’s conscience, repeat to all the
Saviour’s command, “Search the Scriptures.” Admonish them to take
the Bible as it is, to implore divine enlightenment, and then, when the
light shines, to gladly accept each precious ray, and fearlessly abide
the consequences.—
Testimonies for the Church 5:388

A Joyous Work
It is a joyous work to open the Scriptures to others.—
Testimonies
for the Church 9:118
.
Open the Scriptures to some one that is in darkness, and you will
not complain of weariness and lack of interest in the cause of truth.
Your heart will be awakened to an anxiety for souls, and joy in the
evidences of the faith will fill your heart, and you will know that “he
that watereth shall be watered also himself.”—
The Review and Herald,
March 13, 1888
