what you say. I have been instructed that we get altogether too high in
our representation of Bible truth. We lose much by not coming to the
simplicity of true godliness. God has given us all we need to enable
us to reach the souls around us, yet the reformations that were made
in Christ’s day as the result of the presentation of the gospel, are rare
today. We need the converting power of God in our hearts to teach us
simplicity in words and works.—
Manuscript 85, 1909
.
God’s Word, Not Man’s—Preach the truth with the meekness of
[221]
simplicity, remembering that it is not your words, but the Word of God
that is to cut its way to the heart.—
The Review and Herald, June 13,
1912
.
Meat in Due Season—Present the truth as it is in Jesus, with all
meekness and lowliness, which means with simplicity and in sincerity,
giving meat in due season, and to every man his portion of meat.—
Evangelism, 432
.
Simplicity of God’s Children—Men and women are wandering
in the mist and fog of error. They want to know what is truth. Tell them,
not in high-flown language, but with the simplicity of the children of
God.—
Colporteur Ministry, 72
