Ellen White – life, legacy and relevance Self-surrender


“I have arisen at half past five o’clock in the morning, helped Lucinda wash dishes, have written until dark, then done necessary sewing, sitting up until near midnight; I have done the washings for the family after my day’s writing was done. I have frequently been so weary as to stagger like an intox- icated person, but praise the Lord I have been sustained.” (15MR 231)

Ellen White – life, legacy and relevance The “real” Ellen White


“At times I do feel depressed, but I struggle against the feeling. I know that God wants His joy to be in us, that our joy may be full. He has a heaven full of blessings, and those blessings He will give to us, if we will take them.” (Ms 14, 1903)

God is Love



Ellen White – life, legacy and relevance God is Love


“The matchless love of God for a world that did not love Him! The thought has a subduing power upon the soul and brings the mind into captivity to the will of God.” (SC 15)


The Great Controversy



Ellen White – life, legacy and relevance The Great Controversy


“Even when it was decided that he could no longer remain in heaven, Infinite Wisdom did not destroy Satan. Since the service of love can alone be acceptable to God, the allegiance of His creatures must rest upon a conviction of His justice and benevolence. con’t


Ellen White – life, legacy and relevance The Great Controversy


The inhabitants of heaven and of other worlds, being unprepared to comprehend the nature or consequences of sin, could not then have seen the justice and mercy of God in the destruction of Satan. Had he been immediately blotted from existence, they would have served God from fear rather than from love.” (GC 498f)


Jesus Christ and His Salvation



Ellen White – life, legacy and relevance Jesus and His Salvation


“The sacrifice of Christ as an atonement for sin is the great truth around which all other truths cluster. In order to be rightly understood and appreciated, every truth in the Word of God, from Genesis to Revelation, must be studied in the light that streams from the cross of Calvary. con’t


Ellen White – life, legacy and relevance Jesus and His Salvation


I present before you the great, grand monument of mercy and regeneration, salvation and redemption – the Son of God uplifted on the cross.” (Ev 190)

Health



Ellen White – life, legacy and relevance Health


“All are required to do what they can to preserve healthy bodies, and sound minds. If they will gratify a gross appetite, and by so doing blunt their sensibilities, and becloud their perceptive faculties so that they cannot appreciate the exalted character of God, or delight in the study of his Word, con’t




they may be assured that God will not accept their unworthy offering any sooner than that of Cain. God requires them to cleanse themselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of the Lord. After man has done all in his power to insure health, con’t




by the denying of appetite and gross passions, that he may possess a healthy mind, and a sanctified imagination, that he may render to God an offering in righteousness, then he is saved alone by a miracle of God’s mercy, as was the ark upon the stormy billows. con’t




Noah had done all that God required of him in making the ark secure, then God performed that which man could not do, and preserved the ark by his miraculous power.” (CD 49f)

Education



Ellen White – life, legacy and relevance Education


“In the highest sense the work of education and the work of redemption are one, for in education, as in redemption, ‘other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.’” (Ed 30)




“Parents, and teachers of schools, are certainly disqualified to educate children properly, if they have not first learned the lesson of self-control, patience, forbearance, gentleness, and love. What an important position for parents, guardians, and teachers! con’t




There are very few who realize the most essential wants of the mind, and how to direct the developing intellect, the growing thoughts and feelings of youth.“ (1MCP 189)
