Sin broke the perfect bond of communication between God and humanity. But God continues to speak to us through His prophets.
Throughout history, how has God spoken to those who would listen to Him?
What do Scriptures say about the prophecy?
The Bible gives us clear criteria for determining who is a true prophet.
Biblical prophecies show us that the spiritual gift of prophecy was to have a resurgence in our recent history.
Many spiritual movements sprung up in the 19th century. But only one is true.
Was Ellen White a true prophet of God, or just another deceiver?
There is nothing worse than deception, yet deception is Satan's greatest weapon. While we must be aware of false prophets, we are counseled to take heed of the word of the prophets (2 Peter 1:19). The only way out of this dilemma is to test the prophet by applying the Biblical criteria. If Ellen White truly was a prophet of God, then all the criteria must apply.
Did Ellen White Exalt God's Word and Law?
Did Ellen White's Predictions Come True?
Did Ellen White Edify the Church?
Did Ellen White Exalt Christ as the Son of God?
Did Ellen White Speak with Authority?
Did Ellen White Bear Good Fruit?
Did Ellen White Exhibit the Physical Signs?
What Did Others Say about Ellen White?
Revelation 12 speaks of an end-time Church that is merely a remnant: the only true followers left.
One of Laodicea's key faults was its "lukewarmness." If Laodicea typifies the Church of today, then we have some work to do on our own "lukewarmness."
There is nothing we can do in our own strength to remedy the brokenness and sinfulness in our hearts. But Christ has prepared a way for us to overcome through His strength.
