3. "Of all professed Christians,
Seventh-day Adventists
should be foremost in
uplifting CHRIST before the
world.“
Ellen G. White, Gospel
Workers, p.156
4. "There need to be far more lessons in the
ministry of the Word of true conversion
than of the arguments of the doctrines. For
it is far easier and more natural for the
heart that is not under the control of the
Spirit of Christ to choose doctrinal subjects
rather than the practical. There are many
Christless discourses given no more
acceptable to God than was the offering of
Cain. They are not in harmony with
God."{VSS - The Voice in Speech and Song
pg 342.3}
16. Galatians 1:10
Obviously, I’m not trying
to win the approval of
people, but of God. If
pleasing people were my
goal, I would not be
Christ’s servant.
17. Two Principles
1. You can’t negotiate
with terrorists. You
can’t appease them.
2. Have hard
conversations early.
20. A Whack on the Side of the
Head: “Almost every advance in
art, cooking, medicine,
agriculture, engineering,
marketing, politics, education,
and design has occurred when
someone challenged the rules
and tried another approach.”
22. “Your skepticism, which you
presume is based on rational
thinking and an objective
assessment of factual data
about yourself, is rooted in
mental junk. Your doubts are
not the product of accurate
thinking, but habitual thinking.
23. “Years ago you accepted flawed
conclusions as correct, began to live
your life as if those warped ideas
about your potential were true, and
ceased the bold experiment in living
that brought you many breakthrough
behaviors as a child. Now it’s time
for you to find that faith you had in
yourself before.”
Maxwell, John C.
