People tell us it is too late to warn of dangers, too late to give
the final message to the world, too late to expect others to
respond to the pleadings of the Word of God as are presented to
them. Oh my friends, it is not too late. We must strive and urge
and plead and warn until the very day that probation ends for
mankind. We are to live the Enoch life This is our commission. And
this is a twofold work: to develop a character of righteousness by
living a life of personal purity and pleading with God and to teach
a lesson of godliness by kindly acts and warning and pleading with
men.

Revelation Written. This fourth volume-The Acts of the
Apostles-covers the experience of the early Christian Church. While
the Bible's book of Acts covers a period of only a little more than
three decades, it is filled with important lessons for the church
in every age. God clearly indicates that the Christian today shall
experience the presence of the same Spirit who came with power at
Pentecost and fanned the gospel message into a flame. The acts of
the Holy Spirit through Peter and Paul, John and James, and others
can be repeated in the modern disciple. The abruptness with which
the book of Acts closes is not accidental; it deliberately suggests
that the thrilling narrative is unfinished, that the acts of God
through the Spirit are to have their sequel throughout the
Christian dispensation-each successive generation adding a chapter
full of beauty and power to the one that preceded it. The Companion

In the twenty first century many people would agree that more fruit
and vegetables and less meat is the way to a healthy diet.
Scientific studies often publish statistics comparing meat eaters
with Seven Day Adventists (SDA) because the Adventists are a group
of people who have advocated and practiced vegetarianism for almost
150 years. The reason this lifestyle came about is largely due to
an event which occurred in the summer of 1863 in Michigan, USA. In
June 1863 Ellen Gould White, one of the co-founders of the SDA has
a vision. She was at the home of brother A. Hilliard, at Otsego,
Michigan, when (as she puts it in her own words) "the great subject
of health reform was opened before me in vision". Prior to this
'vision' physical health and diet was becoming an issue for the
Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) ministers and a number of them were in
poor health. White claimed the vision was from God and that it
lasted for 45 minutes, during which God was said by her to have
revealed many important principles for a "health reform" movement
she was to later institute in the SDA Church. Later that year she
wrote her first pamphlet "An Appeal to Mothers" which was published
in 1864, in which she asked questions such as; "have you not marked
the lack of healthy beauty, of strength, and power of endurance in
your dear children?" "Have you not noticed that there was a
deficiency in the mental health of your children?" "Have you not
been alarmed at their disregard of parental authority, which has
bowed down the hearts of their parents with grief and prematurely
sprinkled their heads with grey hair?" "It gives you pain to see
your children feeble in body and mind; but does it not cause you
still greater grief to see them almost dead to spiritual things, so
that they have but little desire for goodness, beauty of character,
and holy purposes?" White and many of the Adventists regarded her
visions as gifts of prophecy and she went on to have many visions
and to write many essays and books. According to Wikipedia's list
of the best selling books of all time, her book "Steps to Christ"
first published in 1892 has sold 62 million copies and her 5000
articles and 40 published books have been translated into more than
140 languages. In 1905 White's book The Ministry of Healing was
published. In the preface she wrote; It is not the creator's
purpose that mankind shall be weighed down with a burden of pain,
that his activities shall be curtailed by illness, that his
strength wane, and his life be cut short by disease. But all too
frequently the laws established by God to govern the life are
flagrantly transgressed; sin enters the heart, and man loses sight
of his dependence upon God, the source of life and health. Then
follow the penalties of transgression--pain, sickness, and death.
The book emphasizes the link between diet and spiritual growth.
It's a diet book, a self -help book, and a Christian spiritual
guide all rolled into one, and it continues to be read widely to
this day.
