Medical Ministry
“I am the Lord, I change not,” He declares. With Him there is no
variableness, neither shadow of turning. He is “the same yesterday,
and today, and forever.” He is infinite and omnipresent. No words of
ours can describe His greatness and majesty.
[93]
The Simplicity of Christ’s Teaching
The Bible teaching of God is the only teaching that it is safe
for human beings to follow. We are to regulate our faith by a plain
“Thus saith the Lord.” The knowledge of Himself that God desires
us to gain from His word will, if brought into the daily life, make
men and women strong to resist evil and fit them to represent Him.
We need to study the simplicity of Christ’s teachings. He urges
the need of prayer and humility. These are our safeguards against the
erroneous reasoning by which Satan seeks to lead us to turn aside
to other gods, and to accept misleading theories, clothed by him in
garments of light.
A man who is spiritually blind is easily led by those who improve
every favorable opportunity to advance theories and conjectures
regarding God. The one deceived by Satan imparts to a fellow being
the new light that he supposes he has received, as Eve placed the
forbidden fruit in the hand of Adam. Unenlightened heathen are in
no worse condition spiritually than is the man who has known the
truth but has accepted error....
Resisting the Enemy
Satan presents his theories cautiously at first, and if he sees
that his efforts are successful, he brings in theories that are still
more misleading, seeking to lead men and women away from the
foundation principles that God designs shall be the safeguards of
His people.
Let not our medical missionary workers accept theories that God
has not given to anyone. God will not excuse men for teaching
theories that Christ has not taught. He calls upon His army of
workers to fall into line, taking their stand under the banner of truth.
He warns them to beware of occupying their time in the discussion
of matters that God has not authorized any human being to discuss.
