Deeper Consecration

By H. S. PETERS

H. S. PETERS

THE week of prayer is now in the past. No doubt all have resolved that the coming year will see in their lives a closer walk with God. This is right. Christ has given us light, that we may not be in the dark in regard to his desire toward us. The Master desires consecrated, willing minds, devoted hearts, and faithful service. He says of his children: “As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.”

For years we have talked about the loud cry of the third angel’s message. Now the time of that cry is upon us, and it is for us to give it. If the people will not come to us, we must go to the people. This message must be given in this generation. There has been a great work done, but a greater work remains. Money alone will not do it, neither will God send his angels to do it, independently of our efforts.

One excellent way to carry this message is by working with the Family Bible Teacher. Shall we not take up this work? Shall we not carry the message to the people, to open their eyes, and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and an inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith? The Lord has gone before us, and the people are waiting for something, they know not what. The Spirit of God is preparing the soil for the seed of truth. Shall we sow it? If we do, we shall see an uprising that will bring our work conspicuously before the public, and will glorify God as the banner of truth is held up before the people, to give them the opportunity to decide where they will stand.
