Simplicity
I once heard an old man say that simple is hard to do. Yet we are told that ‘everything bearing the divine stamp unites simplicity with utility’. (White, E.G. Testimonies to the church Volume 3 p. 408) How is this possible in a world that caters to everything but simplicity? Remember this is the same world that will wonder after the beast. A world in which people equate simple with boring, failing to see the popery education that they have imbibed. This world sees life through the same lens that satan showed Christ this world, (Matthew 4:8) as he tempted Him, he showed him all the glory - this pale glory in comparison to heaven, he made appear bright. Many eyes today have been clouded by Roman education to the point where they are blinded to their inability to do simple. The grand graduation ceremonies that attend every step of our popery education, the accolades poured on us, the letters after our names and the many other appeals to pride that are heaped upon us, have cast their influence on the side of display and pomp - the very foundation of Romanism.
One must understand, that “While Romanism is based upon deception, it is not a coarse and clumsy imposture. The religious service of the Romish Church is a most impressive ceremonial. Its gorgeous display and solemn rites fascinate the senses of the people, and silence the voice of reason and of conscience. The eye is charmed. Magnificent churches, imposing processions, golden altars, jeweled shrines, choice paintings, and exquisite sculpture appeal to the love of beauty. The ear also is captivated. The music is unsurpassed. The rich notes of the deep-toned organ, blending with the melody of many voices as it swells through the lofty domes and pillared aisles of her grand cathedrals, cannot fail to impress the mind with awe and reverence.
