Lord Works With Bible Instructors—Let strong reasons for our faith be presented from the Word of God, and let the truth in its sanctifying power melt its way to the hearts and minds of those who are under conviction. As the helpers give Bible readings in the homes of the people, the Lord just as surely works on minds as He does in the public services.—Letter 160, 1901. (Ev 489.1) MC VC

Miracles Wrought Through the Word—There will constantly be a struggle in order to gain access to the hearts of the ignorant and wicked. But do we individually try as earnestly and faithfully by personal effort as we should? Do we not hold ourselves too much aloof from the poor souls dead in trespasses and sins? Can we not, every one of us, arm ourselves with the intense earnestness of Christ, and do more? (Ev 489.2) MC VC

I fear that there is not that faith that is essential. Shall we not brace ourselves against disappointments and temptations to be discouraged? God is merciful, and with the truth rejoicing, purifying, ennobling the life, we can do a sound and solid work for God. Prayer and faith will do wonderful things. The Word must be our weapon of warfare. Miracles can be wrought through the Word; for it is profitable for all things.—Letter 75, 1896. (Ev 489.3) MC VC

The Worth of a Soul—The soul that has given himself to Christ is more precious in His sight than the whole world.—The Desire of Ages, 480 (1898). (Ev 489.4) MC VC

If but one soul would have accepted the gospel of His grace, Christ would, to save that one, have chosen His life of toil and humiliation and His death of shame.—The Ministry of Healing, 135 (1905). (Ev 489.5) MC VC
