Spirit, and they obey the dictates of the will in fulfilling the will of God.--DA 466 (1898). {2MCP 571.3} BOOKS / 2MCP - Mind, Character, and Personality Volume 2 (1977) / Chap. 62 - Communication Chap. 62 - Communication Far-reaching Influence of Words.--The voice and tongue are gifts from God, and if rightly used, they are a power for God. Words mean very much. They may express love, devotion, praise, melody to God, or hatred and revenge. Words reveal the sentiments of the heart. They may be a savor of life unto life or of death unto death. The tongue is a world of blessing or a world of iniquity.--MS 40, 1896. (3BC 1159.) {2MCP 572.1} Desolating Hail or Seeds of Love?--Some are seen to come forth from their daily communion with God clothed with the meekness of Christ. Their words are not like a desolating hail, crushing everything before it; they come forth sweetly from their lips. They scatter seeds of love and kindness all along their path, and that all unconsciously, because Christ lives in their heart. Their influence is felt more than it is seen.--MS 24, 1887. (3BC 1159.) {2MCP 572.2} Words That Cheer.--The wails of a world's sorrow are heard all around us. Sin is pressing its shadow upon us, and our minds must be ready for every good word and work. We know that we have the presence of Jesus. The 573 sweet influence of His Holy Spirit is teaching and guiding our thoughts, leading us to speak words that will cheer and brighten the pathway of others.--6T 115 (1900). {2MCP 572.3} Cheerful Words.--If we look on the bright side of things, we shall find enough to make us cheerful and happy. If we give smiles, they will be returned to us; if we speak pleasant, cheerful words, they will be spoken to us again.--ST, Feb 12, 1885. {2MCP 573.1} Christ-centered Words.--The words of men express their own human thoughts, but those of Christ are spirit and life.--5T 433 (1885). {2MCP 573.2} Angels are listening to hear what kind of report you are bearing to the world about your heavenly Master. Let your conversation be of Him who liveth to make intercession for you before the Father. When you take the hand of a friend, let praise to God be on your lips and in your heart. This will attract his thoughts to Jesus.--SC 119 (1892). {2MCP 573.3} Christ Came Right to the Point.--In Christ's teaching there is no long, farfetched,
complicated reasoning. He comes right to the point. In His ministry He read every heart as an open book, and from the inexhaustible store of His treasure-house He drew things both new and old to illustrate and enforce His teachings. He touched the heart and awakened the sympathies.--MS 24, 1891. (Ev 171.) {2MCP 573.4} Easy to Understand.--Christ's manner of teaching was beautiful and attractive, and it was ever characterized by simplicity. He unfolded the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven through the use of figures and symbols with which His hearers were familiar; and the common people heard Him gladly, for they could comprehend His words. There were no high-sounding words used, to understand 574 which it was necessary to consult a dictionary.--CT 240 (1913). {2MCP 573.5} He Used Plain Language.--Argument is good in its place, but far more can be accomplished by simple explanations of the Word of God. The lessons of Christ were illustrated so clearly that the most ignorant could readily comprehend them. Jesus did not use long and difficult words in His discourses; He used plain language, adapted to the minds of the common people. He went no further into the subject He was expounding than they were able to follow Him.--GW 169 (1915). {2MCP 574.1} Serious Subjects Versus Sentimental Nonsense.-- What is more worthy to engross the mind than the plan of redemption? It is a subject that is exhaustless. The love of Jesus, the salvation offered to fallen man through His infinite love, holiness of heart, the precious, saving truth for these last days, the grace of Christ--these are subjects which may animate the soul and cause the pure in heart to feel that joy which the disciples felt when Jesus came and walked with them as they traveled toward Emmaus. {2MCP 574.2} He who has centered his affections upon Christ will relish this kind of hallowed association and will gather divine strength by such intercourse; but he who has no relish for this kind of conversation and who is best pleased to talk sentimental nonsense has wandered far away from God and is becoming dead to holy and noble aspirations. The sensual, the earthly, is interpreted by such to be heavenly.--5T 600 (1889). {2MCP 574.3} Reaching Out for Human Sympathy.--When the conversation is of a frivolous character and savors of a dissatisfied reaching out after human sympathy and appreciation, it springs from love-sick sentimentalism, and neither the youth nor the men with gray hairs are secure. When the truth of God is an abiding principle in the 575 heart, it will be like a living spring. Attempts may be made to repress it, but it will gush forth in another place; it is there and cannot be repressed. The truth in the heart is a wellspring of life. It refreshes the weary and restrains vile thought and utterance.--5T 600, 601 (1889). {2MCP 574.4}
