I saw that God's holy name should be used with reverence and
awe. The words God Almighty are coupled together and used by some in prayer in
a careless, thoughtless manner, which is displeasing to Him. Such have no
realizing sense of God or the truth, or they would not speak so irreverently of
the great and dreadful God, who is soon to judge them in the last day. Said the
angel, "Couple them not together; for fearful is His name." Those who
realize the greatness and majesty of God, will take His name on their lips with
holy awe. He dwelleth in light unapproachable; no man can see Him and live. I
saw that these things will have to be understood and corrected before the
church can prosper. {EW
122.1}
