"If the Lord favors the work in some countries above that in other countries, it is that there may be revealed a spirit of true liberality, a desire to assist those who greatly need help in order to find a standing-place, and to give character to the work. The Lord is no respecter of persons or of places. His work is one great whole. His truth is to be proclaimed to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people; and as new fields are entered and people accept the truth, houses of worship and schoolhouses are to be erected, and other needed facilities supplied. Printing-presses are to be set in operation in many parts of the world. GW 456.1"
"Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:"
The EGW passage directly references the concept of God not being a respecter of persons, which is the core message of Acts 10:34.
"In some conferences it has been considered commendable to save up means, and to show a large surplus in the treasury. But in this God has not been honored. It would have been better if the money thus laid by had been wisely expended in supporting diligent, efficient laborers in needy fields. GW 456.3"
"But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:"
Both passages contrast earthly treasure with heavenly treasure. The EGW passage criticizes hoarding resources instead of using them for God's work, while Matthew 6:20 encourages investing in eternal rewards.
