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 Saviour is still carrying forward the same work as when He proffered the water of life to the woman of Samaria. Those who call themselves His followers may despise and shun the outcast ones; but no circumstance of birth or nationality, no condition of life, can turn away His love from the children of men. To every soul, however sinful, Jesus says, If thou hadst asked of Me, I would have given thee living water. Desire of Ages, p. 194
