    The Peril of a Confederacy

    “For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the Lord of hosts Himself; and let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread.... To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them” [Isaiah 8:11-13, 20]. The world is not to be our criterion. Let the Lord work, let the Lord’s voice be heard. Testimonies to Ministers, page 463.CSPLUC 3.5

    The question has been asked, What do you mean by a confederacy? Who have formed confederacies? You know what a confederacy is,—a union of men in a work that does not bear the stamp of pure, straightforward, unswerving integrity.—E. G. White Manuscript 29, 1911. The S.D.A. Bible Commentary 4:1142.CSPLUC 3.6

    Do not feel that you are to be bound in any way or necessarily to confederate with unbelievers. It is well always for ministers to make friendly visits with ministers and to seek by that friendly acquaintance to disarm opposition. The same with the physician. There is too much keeping apart with association with both parties. But association does not mean confederacy. You must not confederate with unbelievers or give them preference to our own people. E. G. White Letter 107b, 1900.CSPLUC 4.1
