1 What Religious Liberty is All About Religious Freedom not Religious Licence Presentation By Pr. Brighton G Kavaloh

2 “ “The question of religious liberty is very important, and it should be handled with great wisdom and discretion. Unless this is done there is danger that by our own course of action we shall bring upon ourselves a crisis before we are prepared for it. The burden of our message should be ‘the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.’ Our brethren should be cautioned to make moves that will not stir up and provoke the powers that be, so that they will make moves that will limit the work, and cut us off from proclaiming the message in different localities.” Ellen G. White Testimonies to Ministers pg. 219

3 “We are not doing the will of God if we sit in quietude doing nothing to preserve liberty of conscience” (5T 714)

4 “ It is our duty to do all in our power to avert the threatened danger. We should endeavour to disarm prejudice by placing ourselves in a proper light before the people. We should bring before them the real question at issue, thus interposing the most effectual protest against measures to restrict liberty of conscience. We should search the Scriptures and be able to give the reason for our faith.” Ellen G. White Testimonies Vol.5 pg. 452

5 John 14: 29 (KJV) And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.

6 1Peter 3:15 KJV “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:”

7 1Peter 3:15 Amplified Bible (AMP) “But in your hearts set Christ apart as holy [and acknowledge Him] as Lord. Always be ready to give a logical defence to anyone who asks you to account for the hope that is in you, but do it courteously and respectfully”

8 “The members of the church will individually be tested and proved. They will be placed in circumstances where they will be forced to bear witness for the truth. Many will be called to speak before councils and in courts of justice, perhaps separately and alone” 5T 463

10 “The Lord in His providence is far ahead of us. He has permitted this Sunday question to be pressed to the front, that the Sabbath of the fourth commandment may be presented before the legislative assemblies; thus the leading men of the nation may have their attention called to the testimony of God’s Word in favour of the true Sabbath. If it does not covert them, it is a witness to condemn.” - MS 16 1890.

11 ”In the annals of human history the growth of Nations, the rise and fall of empires, appear as dependent on the will and prowess of man, but in the Word of God the curtain is drawn aside, and we behold, behind and above, and through all the play and counterplay of human interest and power and passions, the agencies of all merciful One, silently, patiently working out the counsels of His own will. The complicated play of human events is under divine control. Amidst the strife and tumult of nations, He that sitteth above the cherubim still guides the affairs of the earth” E G White, Education, p.173,178
