Does God Still Lead His People?

The idea that God may bestow His favor or special guidance to a particular group of people is markedly unpopular in recent times. The Bible clearly teaches that God’s love and His intention for the salvation of humanity is universal. “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9, NKJV). But the reality of the great controversy between God and Satan means that God’s truth must contend with errors originated by the great deceiver and propagated by human agents.

This book defends the concept that there is a body of truth that reflects God’s message for the end times, and there is a remnant church that “enfeebled and defective as it may be, is the only object on earth on which he bestows his supreme regard” (Ellen G. White, General Conference Daily Bulletin, February 27, 1893).
