"Our labors in Maine commenced with the Conference at Norridgewock the first of November. The meeting was large. As usual, my husband and myself bore a plain and pointed testimony in favor of truth and proper discipline, and against the different forms of error, confusion, fanaticism, and disorder naturally growing out of a want of such discipline. This testimony was especially applicable to the condition of things in Maine. Disorderly spirits who professed to observe the Sabbath were in rebellion and labored to diffuse the disaffection through the Conference. Satan helped them, and they succeeded to some extent. The details are too painful and of too little general importance to be given here. 1T 644.1"
"For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints."
The EGW passage describes a situation of 'error, confusion, fanaticism, and disorder' within a conference, attributing it to a lack of discipline and the influence of Satan. This directly aligns with the principle in 1 Corinthians 14:33 that 'God is not the author of confusion, but of peace.' The EGW passage illustrates a real-world example of the absence of God's peace leading to disorder.
"Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers."
Both passages deal with upholding sound doctrine and confronting opposition. Titus 1:9 emphasizes the importance of holding fast to the faithful word to convince gainsayers, while the EGW passage describes her and her husband's efforts to address error and disorder within the church. The connection is thematic rather than a direct allusion, as both address the need for sound doctrine and confronting opposition, but the EGW passage doesn't explicitly quote or directly reference Titus 1:9.
