Testimonies for the Church Volume 5
There are some in-----who ought to be men instead of boys and
heavenly minded instead of earthly and sensual; but their spiritual
vision has become obscured; the Saviour’s great love has not ravished
their souls. He has many things to say unto you, but you cannot bear
them now. You are children in growth and cannot comprehend the
mysteries of God. When God raises up men to do His work, they are
false to their trust if they allow their testimony to be shaped to please
the minds of the unconsecrated. He will prepare men for the times.
They will be humble, God-fearing men, not conservative, not policy
men; but men who have moral independence and will move forward
in the fear of the Lord. They will be kind, noble, courteous; yet they
will not be swayed from the right path, but will proclaim the truth in
righteousness whether men will hear or whether they will forbear.
