But sadly, after repeated warnings and counsels
the SDA church had departed from Christ and had united herself to
the world.
“The line of demarcation between worldlings and many professed
Christians is almost indistinguishable. Many who once were earnest
Adventists are conforming to the world--to its practices, its customs,
its selfishness. Instead of leading the world to render obedience
to God's law, the church is uniting more and more closely with the
world in transgression. Daily the church is becoming converted to
the world.”
Testimonies
for the Church, vol 8, p 118-119.
“Many who call themselves Christians are mere human moralists.
They have refused the gift which alone could enable them to honor
Christ by representing Him to the world. The work of the Holy Spirit
is to them a strange work. They are not doers of the word. The heavenly
principles that distinguish those who are one with Christ from those
who are one with the world have become almost indistinguishable.
The professed followers of Christ are no longer a separate and peculiar
people. The line of demarcation is indistinct. The people are subordinating
themselves to the world, to its practices, its customs, its selfishness.
The church has gone over to the world in transgression of the law,
when the world should have come over to the church in obedience
to the law. Daily the church is being converted to the world.”
Christ’s
Object Lessons, p 315-316.
“The central power of the earth is a demon. His throne is
in the midst of the world, where should have been seen the throne
of God. He has been patronized by the church, for the church has
been conformed to the world, and is living in transgression of the
holy law of God.”
This Day
With God, p 28.
“The church has taken the world into her fellowship, and has
given her affections to the enemies of holiness. The church and
the world are standing on the same ground in transgression of the
law of God. The church prefers to assimilate to the world rather
than separate from its customs and vanities.”
