    The Word of the Lord vs. Human Wisdom

    The danger of leaning to the opinions of men, instead of settling the question, “What is truth?” by the word of the Lord, is sharply defined by the prophet Hosea when he says, “Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies; because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.” 47Hosea 10:13 The tendency of the human heart has always been to trust in man; but as we approach the time when the Lord is to “arise and shake terribly the earth,” the prophet Isaiah exhorts, “cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for wherein is he to be accounted of?” 48Isaiah 2:22GSAM 37.1

    Being thus cautioned in the Scriptures respecting our danger in this direction, let none hastily pass condemnation on the advent movement, as though unworthy of consideration because of its humble beginning, or because those called great in the eyes of the world have not espoused the cause. Rather let all weigh carefully its claims. Truth is of inestimable value, compared with which mere opinions of men are but worthless chaff.GSAM 37.2
