The great danger with our people has been that of depending upon men and
making flesh their arm. Those who have not been in the habit of
searching the Bible for themselves, or weighing evidence, have
confidence in the leading men and accept the decisions they make; and
thus many will reject the very messages God sends to His people, if
these leading brethren do not accept them.
No one should claim that he has all the light there is for God's people.
The Lord will not tolerate this. He has said,"I have set before thee an
open door, and no man can shut it." Even if all our leading men should
refuse light and truth, that door will still remain open. The Lord will
raise up men who will give the people the message for this time.
