The Laodicean message is absolutely essential and it must be proclaimed. It is the message upon which the destiny of the church hangs as we
are councelled from the pen of inspiration. We dare not neglect our duty as God's watchmen.
In 3T 260 she says: "I was shown that the pointed
testimony must live in the church. This alone will answer to the message to the Laodiceans. Wrongs must be reproved, sin must be called sin,
and iniquity must be met promptly and decidedly, and put away from us as a people."
She goes on to say: "The plain, straight testimony must live in the church, or the curse of God will rest upon His people as surely as it did upon Ancient Israel because of their sins... If the leaders of the church neglect to diligently search out the sins
which bring the displeasure of God upon the body, they become responsible for these sins. Ministers who are preaching present truth should not
neglect the solemn message to the Laodiceans. The testimony of the Ture Witness is not a smooth message... The True Witness declares that
when you suppose you are really in a good condition of prosperity, you are in need of everything."
Let us not repeat the history of Ancient Israel.
