EGW, 4 Testimonies, 337.“To walk humbly with God is essential to the perfection of

Christian character. God requires undeviating principle in the

minutest details of the transactions of life. Said Christ: ‘He that is

faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much’.”

Matthew 23:23“Woe to you, teachers of the law

and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint,

dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important

matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have

practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.”

EGW, Welfare Ministry, 217.“Let those in our churches and those who stand in position of

responsibility in our institutions learn from these words how carefully the Lord guards the

interests of those who cannot help themselves. He hears the cry of the widow for her fatherless children. He will surely bring into judgment those who disregard the rules that He has laid down to shield them

from harm.”

EGW, 6 Testimonies, 273.“There are many who complain of God because the world is so full of want and suffering, but God never

meant that this misery should exist. He never meant that one

man should have an abundance of the luxuries of life while the

children of others cry for bread. The Lord is a God of benevolence.”

Page 28: Lawsuit - What God Requires from Me

EGW, Signs of the Times, June 13, 1892.“In the providence of God events have been so ordered that the poor

are always with us, in order that there may be a constant exercise in the human heart of the attributes

of mercy and love. Man is to cultivate the tenderness and

compassion of Christ; he is not to separate himself from the

sorrowing, the afflicted, the needy, and the distressed.”
