Better Keep to Our Work
By W. A. Colcord
WHILE Satan was urging Saul to destroy David, he was at the same time inspiring the Philistines to seize the first opportunity to work Saul’s ruin, and thus overthrow the people of God. Commenting upon this, “Patriarchs and Prophets” says: “How often is the same policy still employed by the arch-enemy! He moves upon some unconsecrated heart to kindle envy and strife in the church, and then, taking advantage of the divided condition of God’s people, he stirs up his agents to work their ruin.” So while the enemy has been seeking to introduce into our ranks spiritualistic and pantheistic theories respecting God, and by this means to divert our attention from the message of present truth and to divide our forces, he has also been inspiring the enemies of the truth to introduce into Congress measures which, when followed to their logical conclusion, would hedge up our way, and, if possible, compass our ruin. Let us stick to the message and keep to our work.
