Not infrequently people base their understanding of the Ellen G. White teachings upon a fragment
of a sentence or upon an isolated statement removed from its setting. Writing
of certain ones who made such a misuse of her writings, she spoke of their "picking
out a sentence here and there, taking it from its proper connection, and applying
it according to their idea."--Selected Messages, book 1, p. 44.
Thought for the Day
The soul that is yielded to Christ becomes His own fortress, which He holds in a revolted world, and He intends that no authority shall be known in it but His own. A soul thus kept in possession by the heavenly agencies is impregnable to the assaults of Satan. But unless we do yield ourselves to the control of Christ, we shall be dominated by the wicked one. Desire of Ages, p. 324
