Testimonies for the Church, Volume 8 - Ellen G. White

we would conform our wills to the will of God! It
is the power of God that we need, wherever we are.
The frivolity that cumbers the church makes it
weak and indifferent. The Father, the Son, and the
Holy Spirit are seeking and longing for channels
through which to communicate to the world the
divine principles of truth.
Artificial lights may appear, claiming to come
from heaven, but they cannot shine forth as the star
of holiness, the star of heavenly brightness, to
guide the feet of the pilgrim and stranger into the
city of God. False lights will take the place of the
true, and many souls will be for a time deceived.
God forbid that it should be so with us. The true
light now shineth, and will light up the souls in
which the windows are opened heavenward.
