What began as a casual conversation on the Trinity eventually resulted in a four year study of Ellen White's quotations—more than 1,500 pages of quotes—and another year in preparing five Bible Studies on the subject. I am working on a compilation of the main quotes that I hope will be available later.
This link will direct you to the line-numbered seminar handouts that were followed at the Michigan Camp Meeting in June of 2022. These booklets reflect further study on the topic, particularly the final booklet on the "Three" and the "One."
In May/June of 2023 I used a revised and improved edition of the study at the Summerville, GA SDA Church and the camp meeting which was held later at Southern Adventist University. The following links allow you to download the line-numbered handout documents that were followed in the course of those meetings. You will want to visit the Godhead section of discipleheart to find other resources on this important topic.
The first study looks at the incommunicable attributes of the Godhead, some of the attributes of the Father mentioned by Christ, the role of Christ in representing and communicating with humankind on behalf of the Father, and some of what the Bible says relative to the Father's love for humankind.
The second study on Christ, the eternal, self-existent, co-equal, Divine Saviour, provides compelling evidence for the Deity of Christ, and features over 360 texts establishing His eternal and self-existent personhood in the Godhead. Among the lines of evidence are Christ’s appropriation of the title “I AM,” four irrefutable evidences cited by Christ early in His ministry, further supernatural evidence during His earthly sojourn, Christ’s identification as God throughout the Scriptures, Christ’s communicative role in the Old Testament, Christ accepting the worship of many individuals during His time on earth, the command to worship the creator at the end of time, welcoming Christ as God at the time of the second coming, Christ being the object of many prophecies that were fulfilled in His time on earth, His many supernatural works, Christ’s many claims that only Deity could make and Christ's many assurances that only Deity could give. Attention is then given to evidence in the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy for His being a distinct Person of the Godhead, His pre-existence and everlasting life, His self-existence and equality with God, what Ellen White believed on the subject—irrefutable proof, His non-communicable attributes, His transformative work in our days, His welcoming our prayers and His soon return. There are very helpful footnotes that provide further clarification.
This Bible study, an addendum to the study on Christ, carefully looks at what the Bible says about Christ's eternal existence, as well as exhaustively examines what Ellen White says on the subject. I believe every statement she makes on the eternal duration of Christ's life is listed. You will be very blessed looking at this study. The evidence eternal, "everlasting to everlasting" existence is overwhelming.
The third study on the Holy Spirit, Christ’s Representative, Successor, distinct Person and Member of the Eternal Godhead, provides compelling evidence for the Deity of the Holy Spirit. Lines of evidence include the uncommunicable attributes of the Holy Spirit, the presence of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament, in the life of Christ, in the teachings of Christ, in the promises fulfilled in the early church and in the writings following the book of Acts. Two sections look at the many actions of the Holy Spirit that only a person could have done, and actions that only a God could have done. More than 250 Scripture references are cited—some duplicated—in making the case.
The final study, the “Eternal Three,” and “The LORD our God, the LORD is one,” first looks at the many times the three members of the Godhead are mentioned in the Old Testament and the New Testament together, and the little known but many wonderful “Three” statements—“heavenly Trio,” “Heavenly dignitaries,” “Highest powers in heaven,” etc.—in the writings of Ellen White. The evidence is overwhelmingly in favor of three Deities in the Godhead. The study also looks at “our LORD is one” in Deuteronomy 6:4, giving compelling reasons why we can accurately speak of three persons and at the same time speak of one God.

In the course of studying on transformation, the immediate subject being dying to self, I came across many quotations on revival that I had never seen before. Over time I collected them and compiled them in this little booklet that is based on Ellen White’s statement where she lists “confession, humiliation, repentance and earnest prayer,” as the pathway to genuine revival. Rose and I printed 15,000 copies of this booklet and shared them with the people attending the General Conference in San Antonio, TX. It has been used throughout the world to good effect.

For several years I taught on the subject of righteousness by faith at the Campus Program held at the University of Michigan. In the course of that teaching I prepared a study guide filled with questions, Bible citations and Spirit of Prophecy quotations on righteousness by faith. Over time I learned more about “the will,” partaking of the divine nature and other important related topics. During this time I also completed the research for the “transformation” section of the encyclopedia on the writings of Ellen White. All of this subject matter is included in this life-changing booklet. astor Julio Flores translated the More Abundant Life booklet into a Spanish version that immediately follows.

This compilation surveys what the Bible and Spirit of Prophecy say on the subject of holiness.
This compilation reflects research that began during a speaking trip in England when we were asked to pray for a young woman who was being tormented by Satan. Rose and I joined others in praying for this young adult and were pleased to see the power of prayer based on Bible promises prevail. I was struck by the fact we were praying from Christ’s position of victory and we were not to act as if we were victims. As a result we praised and claimed promises and rejoiced in the good things God was doing. I also studied and was gratified by the many quotations that support this position. Accordingly, I began collecting quotes on the subject. This is not an exhaustive list, but certain contains many instructive statements on how Satan operates and how God responds to our prayers. This is a very lengthy compilation.
Meade MacGuire, pastor, General Conference officer and revivalist, was the author of several books and numerous articles on the subject of victory. After Ellen White, I believe his books are the best on the subject even though they are out of print and little known. You can get them in pdf form on various web sites, including discipleheart.com. This little booklet is based on an article that appeared in the Australasian Record in 1921.
Carlyle B. Haynes was a leading and highly esteemed evangelist in the early 1900s. The talk rendered in this booklet was given at the General Conference of 1926. In the course of the discourse, he shared how he had been preaching evangelistic messages for fifteen years without being converted—though he thought he was converted, and how he finally came to know Jesus as his personal savior. This wonderful talk speaks to the struggles that many sincere Seventh-day Adventists confess regarding knowing Jesus and His power in their lives. You will have some excellent discussions on righteousness by faith in studying this booklet.
