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
Christ became one flesh with us, in order that we might become one spirit with Him. It is by virtue of this union that we are to come forth from the grave,--not merely as a manifestation of the power of Christ, but because, through faith, His life has become ours. Those who see Christ in His true character, and receive Him into the heart, have everlasting life. It is through the Spirit that Christ dwells in us; and the Spirit of God, received into the heart by faith, is the beginning of the life eternal. Desire of Ages, p. 388
