2 Timothy 2:3
Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
Written Words Endure
One writer said: “The preacher writes his words on water, but the writer carves his words in stone” (Unknown).
Mrs. Ellen G. White agreed when she said:
“A sermon may be preached and soon forgotten, but a book remains” (Life Sketches, p. 382).

The books distributed by the SDA Church through the Literature Evangelists ten, twenty, even fifty years ago are still preaching. The books you sell or give away today will keep leading souls to Christ until He comes. Certainly, written words endure.
It may be true that some people who buy SDA literature will just lay them on the shelf or place them on the parlor table and seldom look at them. But God still cares for His truth, and the time will come when these books will be sought for and read (see Testimonies, vol. 6, pp. 313, 314).
Then the prophet continued: “More than one thousand will soon be converted in one day, most of whom will trace their convictions to the reading of our publications” (Colporteur Ministry, p. 151).
