"God's Purpose for the College No limit can be set to our influence. One thoughtless act may prove the ruin of many souls. The course of every worker in our college is making impressions upon the minds of the young, and these are borne away to be reproduced in others. It should be the teacher's aim to prepare every youth under his care to be a blessing to the world. This object should never be lost sight of. There are some who profess to be working for Christ, yet who occasionally go over to the side of Satan and do his work. Can the Saviour pronounce these good and faithful servants? Are they, as watchmen, giving the trumpet a certain sound? ... CT 96"
"He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad."
Both passages discuss the idea that one is either working for or against Christ. EGW's passage speaks of those who 'go over to the side of Satan' and asks if they are 'giving the trumpet a certain sound,' while Matthew 12:30 states 'He that is not with me is against me.'
"Our Saviour bids us, “Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.” Mark 14:38 . If we encounter difficulties, and in Christ's strength overcome them; if we meet enemies, and in Christ's strength put them to flight; if we accept responsibilities, and in Christ's strength discharge them faithfully, we are gaining a precious experience. We learn, as we could not otherwise have learned, that our Saviour is a present help in every time of need. CT 96.2"
"Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak."
Ellen White directly references Mark 14:38 in this passage.
"Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."
Both passages emphasize the availability of divine help in times of need. EGW speaks of overcoming difficulties and enemies 'in Christ's strength,' leading to the realization that 'our Saviour is a present help in every time of need.' Hebrews 4:16 encourages believers to 'come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.'
"There is a great work to be done in our college, a work which demands the co-operation of every teacher; and it is displeasing to God for one to discourage another. But nearly all seem to forget that Satan is an accuser of the brethren, and they unite with the enemy in his work. While professed Christians are contending, Satan is laying his snares for the inexperienced feet of children and youth. Those who have had a religious experience should seek to shield the young from his devices. They should never forget that they themselves were once enchanted with the pleasures of sin. We need the mercy and forbearance of God every hour, and how unbecoming for us to be impatient with the errors of the inexperienced youth! So long as God bears with them, dare we, fellow sinners, cast them off? CT 96.3"
"And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night."
EGW directly references Satan as 'an accuser of the brethren,' which is a clear and explicit allusion to Revelation 12:10. The context of discouraging brethren also aligns with the idea of accusation and division.
