There’s no better way to caption the lesson than the words of inspiration. “Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe His prophets, so shall ye prosper” (2 Chron. 20:20). Three men (Jeroboam the king; Ahijah, a man of God; and a false prophet) all learned this truth. Paul E. Penno
"Whether the slight be real or fancied, it is certainly the lamest excuse for unbelief that was ever invented; and when any man wants us to give a hearing to his new ideas, he must not make, as a cause for holding them, the statement that he has been slighted by the church."
Genuine faith in the Third Angel’s Message is evinced by a practical reception and of all the truths brought out by it. Among them may be mentioned the spirit of the prophecy. One who does not believe in this is not a believer in the message; it is one of the main points. Compare Revelation 12:17 with Revelation 19:10.
