---Our scholars in our denomination many times come in contact with scholars of other denominations.

---Chatting at a dinner table after a conference paper, the other scholar lamented to our scholar that they have many problems in their denomination recently.

---"Unfortunately, we do not have the luxury of having Ellen White", he said.

---Today is Ellen White's comment about character development.

---Character development is the last thing George Knight is eager to hear in his writings. His focusing on Justification at the cost of Sanctification, making Justification primary and Sanctification secondary in A Pharisee's Guide is just doing that. Instead of seeing sanctification as the work of a lifetime, he argued the Reformed Theology way that it is instantaneous. Totally against Ellen White’s explicit explanations. Part of Knight’s CV is that he left the church for 10 years. It is a building brick for cynicism in style. People miss this.

---In her book Ministry of Healing page 471 she says that God sees the characters of all and see potential in many people. So He directed them such that they are able to develop and see the defects in their character and improve themselves. Their defects were concealed to their knowledge but now they see.

---This is the purpose of the Holy Spirit the Bible says. It convicts people of sin and righteousness. It is enabling during Sanctification.

---It is successful in carrying out its renovation tasks with everyone in character-development daily.

---"I was blind and now I see" is the experience of all who render their hearts to God for renovations.
