If lonesome the world can grasp heeded the good word prone centuries ago By Ellen G white.
Less than are some quotations from her writings completed in the 1900s
Her holy spirit oratory says:
From a at all become of view, money is power; but from the Christian arrange, love is power. Literary and spiritual solidity are keen in this teaching. Unconditional love has special efficacy to do good, and can do not a bit but good. It prevents concern and darkness and brings the truest gratification. Assets is habitually an form to immoral and destroy; force is strong to do hurt; but truth and dignity are the properties of not guilty love. AH 195.3.

You suffer to cut down your task and controversy to supply this hurt in your natural world. You can and call for make persistent hard work to bring under assemble your attitude to burn up wealth spare your revenue. AH 393.1
The Evil eye of Hoarded Assets.--Those who make safe wealth for the purpose of hoarding it throw the curse of wealth to their children. It is a sin, an terrible, soul-periling sin for fathers and mothers to do this, and this sin extends to their posterity. Repeatedly the children burn up their wealth in idiotic profligacy, in strident living, so that they become beggars. They know not the value of the birthright they grasp fruitless. Had their fathers and mothers set them a suitably prototype, not in hoarding but in imparting their wealth, they would grasp laid up for themselves proceeds in fantasy and conventional a return even in this world of union and gratification and in the distant life eternal assets.
"The duplicity of assets." The love of assets has an infatuating, weighed down power. Too habitually individuals who consume at all proceeds forget that it is God who gives them power to get wealth. They say, "My power and the may possibly of starting place hand hath gotten me this wealth." Deut. 8:17. Their assets, more willingly of provocation thanks to God, lead to the idolization of self. They lose the statement of their dependence upon God and their ought to to their guy men. Instead of en route for wealth as a knack to be employed for the success of God and the inspirational of compassion, they picture upon it as a wealth of serving themselves. Instead of organic in man the attributes of God, assets thus hand-me-down are organic in him the attributes of Satan. The granite of the word is choked with thorns.
