Comment on MBA employee discourages students from attending LSU by MarVella Burton.
The plain straight testimony must live int he church, or the curse of God will rest upon His people as surely as it did upon ancient Israel because of their sins. (3T269) If the sins of the people are passed over by those in responsible positions, God’s frown will be upon them, and the people of God will be held responsible for those sins. God bids us speak, and we must not be silent. If wrongs are apparent among God’s people, and if the servants of God pass on indifferent to them, they virtually sustain and justify the sinner, and are alike guilty and will just as surely receive the displeasure of God, for they will be made responsible for the sins of the guilty. Those who engage in the solemn work of vearing the third angel’s message must move out decidedly, and in the Spirit and power of God fearlessly preach the truth and let it cut. They should elevate the standard of truth and urge the people to come up to it. It has too frequently been lowered to meet the people in their condition of darkness and sin. It is the pointed testimony that will bring them up to decide. A peaceful testimony will not do this. Our truth is as much more solemn than that of nominal professors, as the heavens are higher than the earth. (1T248-9) It is high time that we stand and if it means war, then let us go to war and fight the good fight of faith, showing forth our faith by our works. Accreditation is not a part of God’s plan for our educational system. Now we see the result of our seeking to be like the world. Have mercy on us, O Lord.
