In the very time i which we live, the Lord has called His people and
has given them a message to bear. He has called them to expose the
wickedness of the man of sin who has made the Sunday law a distinctive
power, who has thought to change times and laws, and to oppress the
people of God who stand firmly to honor Him by keeping the only true
Sabbath, the Sabbath of creation, as holy unto the Lord.
The
perils of the last days are upon us, and in our work we are to warn the
people of the danger they are in. Let not the solemn scenes which
prophecy has revealed be left untouched. If our people were half awake,
if they realized the nearness of the events portrayed in the Revelation,
a reformation would be wrought in our
churches, and many more would
believe the message. We have no time to lose; God calls upon us to watch
for souls as they that must give an account (TM 117-118).
We must
take every justifiable means of bringing the light before the people.
Let the press be utilized, and let every advertising agency be employed
that will call attention to the work. This should not be regarded as
nonessential. On every street corner you may see placards and notices
calling attention to various things
that are going on, some of them
of the most objectionable character; and shall those who have the light
of life be satisfied with feeble efforts to call the attention of the
masses to the truth?(Evangelism, page 130).
In a special sense
Seventh-day Adventists have been set in the world as watchmen and light
bearers. To them has been entrusted the last warning for a perishing
world. On them is shining wonderful light from the word of God. They
have been given a work of the most solemn import—the proclamation of the
first, second, and third angels’ messages. There is no other work of so
great importance. They are to allow nothing else to absorb their
attention.
The most solemn truths ever entrusted to mortals have
been given us to proclaim to the world. The proclamation of these truths
is to be our work. The world is to be warned, and God’s people are to
be true to the trust committed to them (9T19).
