Counsels to writers and editors 1946 by Helen G White
Chap. 1 - The Object of Our Publications

Our publications have a most sacred work to do in making clear, simple, and plain the spiritual basis of our faith. Everywhere the people are taking sides; all are ranging themselves either under the banner of truth and righteousness or under the banner of the Apostate powers that are contending for the supremacy [Which is the spiritual battle of Armageddon in the valley of decision and it all takes place in the mind of men].
At this time God's message to the world is to be given with such prominence and power that the people will be brought face to face, mind to mind, heart to heart, with truth*. They must be brought to see its superiority over the multitudinous errors that are pushing their way into notice, to supplant, if possible, the word of God for this solemn time. {CW 11.3}

*Accepting truth is coming face to face with God Almighty; after all it is a part of worship. Jesus said, “When you worship God, you must worship God in Spirit and in Truth because God is a Spirit” (John 4: 24). Can a person truly worship God while hanging on to dogmas of his denomination and rejecting the truth of God’s word, the Holy Bible?

Every week as preachers prepare their messages to preach to their congregations on the Sabbath, or on Sunday, the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ (Galatians 4:6) inspires them in the subject for the week that is usually the same subject for most churches. Jesus Christ also inspires the laiety who can hear His voice with the same message that their pastor is going to preach, which serves as a second witness ("for in the mouth of two or three witnesses, every word may be established" - Matthew 18:16).

Yours in Christ,

Guy
