Counsels to Adventist Institutions by Ellen White Pdf

This compilation is designed to let Adventist- business-lay people and Adventist-institutional leaders know what inspiration says about business and how God wants it to be done.

Counsels to Writers and Editors by Ellen G. White Pdf
Seventh-day Adventist editors from all parts of the world met in Washington, D.C., in August, 1939, to participate in a general editorial council, the first to be held. As a source of inspiration and guidance to this group, the leaders of the denomination arranged to have placed in their hands the E.G. White instruction which had been directed to our writers and editors through the years, drawn from both published sources and manuscripts, in the form of a little paper-bound work entitled Counsels to Editors. Five hundred copies of this little work were printed, and the stock was soon exhausted. It seems appropriate to make this volume of counsels generally available through a new edition, which is now issued as a permanent publication. - The Object of Our Publications.

Testimonies for the Church by Ellen Gould Harmon White Pdf
This is the first volume of “Testimonies for the Church,” an influential nine-book set of books from the pen of Ellen G. White. Nearly 5000 pages in all, the entire set contains letters, articles, sermons, records of visions, and instruction regarding the everyday affairs of life. Specifically targeted at members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, the Testimonies found their genesis in 1855 when a question arose about how best to circulate Ellen White's visions. After some discussion, it was voted that the visions would be distributed in tract form to the entire body of believers. This method of distribution proved so successful that, by 1864, Mrs. White had produced ten consecutively numbered pamphlets. These pamphlets contained general counsel to the church at large. They also contained specific counsel to individuals, since Ellen White realized that the instruction to one person would help others in similar circumstances. Although the earliest pamphlets went out of print, in 1883 the church standardized the messages—which by then had grown into many more communications—into a nine-volume set of Spirit of Prophecy counsels. This set, which contains spiritual commentary of a general nature along with many letters of intimate instruction to members of the church during Ellen White's time, has become a staple of Adventist literature.
Testimonies for the Church Volume 6 by Ellen G. White Pdf
Counsels in this volume, written by Ellen G. White to members of the Seventh-day Adventist church, were penned while Mrs. White was living in Australia. Arranged in topical order, volume 6 expands upon the lines of instruction provided in earlier volumes. During the years covered by this volume, Mrs. White was actively involved in founding an Adventist College in Avondale, Australia. With its rural setting, emphasis on the industrial program, and other features, Avondale became-in many respects-a "pattern" school for the Seventh-day Adventist Church. As a result, instruction penned to mold this school covers many details of about location, finance, curriculum, discipline, and administration that would benefit schools around the world. The Adventist church in Australia was also growing during that time, and Ellen White took an active part in furthering that work (including preaching). During the times of this volume, Adventist became increasingly mission minded. In a greater way than before, they saw the whole world as a field of labor. In addition to firing the imaginations of young and old alike, the building and launching of the mission boat, "Pitcairn," in California in 1890 focused attention on the importance of a round-the-world mission program. Reports of the Pitcairn voyages, as it pioneered the mission work in the South Sea Islands, were eagerly read by all. During this eventful time, colporteurs and other missionaries took the work to India, Africa, and South America as well. Additional colleges, worker training schools, and publishing houses also sprang up around the world. As the work in Battle Creek, Michigan continued to grow, warnings were issued against the tendency to centralize the work in large denominational centers. During this time, steps were taken to better organize the administration of the Adventist Church through the set-up of union conferences. In time, a pattern was set-up which would be followed throughout the denomination. Reminders about the importance of healthful living, together with counsel for medical missionary workers, are also found in this volume. In addition to these counsel, Ellen White also wrote "Patriarchs and Prophets," "Steps to Christ," "Gospel Workers," Christian Education," "Christ Our Saviour," "The Desire of Ages," "Christ's Object Lessons," and "Thoughts from the Mount of Blessing" during this time. The addition of volume 6 to the growing series of Testimonies for the Church deeply impressed Seventh-day Adventists with the direct way in which God continued to lead and guide His people.
Testimonies for the Church Volume 1 by Ellen G. White Pdf
This is the first volume of a 9-book series by Ellen G. White entitled Testimonies for the Church which was started as instruction and guidance to the Seventh-day Adventist Church during its infancy (during the late 1840's and early 1850's). During that time, there were only four ministers serving the entire denomination. The ministers, who supported themselves through physical labor, were poor in this world's goods but rich in the gospel. By 1855, membership in the fledgling denomination had grown from less than a hundred to more than a thousand. During those years of growth, opposition by a group called the "Messenger Party" brought much sorrow and perplexity to the believers. Fanatical movements also divided and distracted from time to time. Discouraged by the fact that Jesus had not come in 1844, the church was in danger of losing its "first love." With the Gold Rush and westward movement, those years were also a time of speculation in homesteads and land. As a result, these testimonies contain more than a few earnest warnings about the dangers of conformity to the world. Calls to deeper consecration on the part of church members were also frequent. In late 1856, Advent believers began to recognize themselves as "lukewarm" and in need of heeding the counsel of the "True Witness" witness of Revelation 3. Mightily stirred by this message, the believers expected the loud cry of the third angel to take place very soon. The earnest messages of Testimonies Volume One can be better understood with this background in mind. The times of this volume were also filled with discussion and debate. Adventist ministers, including one prominent one named Moses Hull, were often challenged to debate about the Sabbath or even with Spiritualists. Moses Hull's ill-advised debates with spiritualists, which led to his ultimate spiritual demise, were addressed in some of the counsels included in Volume One. During the times of this volume, steps were also being taken to organize the Seventh-day Adventist Church. There was much discussion about the idea of organization, as opponents of the move argued that the idea of organization itself came straight from Babylon. Also notable during this period was the introduction of health reform in 1863. After Ellen White received a vision that emphasized the relationship between the laws of health and spiritual development, she began to admonish the members on this topic. Reforms in dress were also closely related to the health reform movement. Additional counsel led the members to establish the Health Reform Institute. During the American Civil War, guidance was also needed-and provided-about the proper relationship between the church and civil government. Other notable topics covered during those formative years (and included in Testimonies for the Church Volume One) included the importance of the home in the building of Christian character, the responsibility of parents, and admonitions for the youth. Counsel and admonition for the church body was also included. All in all, the counsels in Volume One spanned a very important phase in the development of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and were very influential in its development.
