The ministers of Christ should take their position, and not be hindered in their work by these agents of Satan. There will be enough of these to question, and quibble, and criticize, to keep the ministers of God constantly busy, if they will allow themselves to be detained from the great work of giving the last saving message of warning to the world. If the church has no strength to stand against the unsanctified, rebellious feelings of church grumblers, it is better to let church and grumblers go overboard together than lose the opportunity of saving hundreds who would make better churches, and have the elements existing within themselves of strength and union and power. {Ev 371.1}

Kristi tjenere bør indtage deres stilling, og ikke blive forhindret i deres arbejde med disse Satans agenter. Der vil være nok for disse at betvivle, og lave ordkløveri på og kritisere, for at holde Guds tjenere i konstant travlhed, hvis de holder sig selv borte fra det store arbejde at give verden det sidste frelsende advarselsbudskab. Hvis menigheden ikke har styrke til at stå imod uhellige, oprørske følelser fra menighedsballademagere, er det bedre at lade menigheden og ballademagerne gå udenbords sammen, end at miste anledning til at frelse hundredvis, som ville give bedre menigheder, og have elementerne styrkens, enighedens og kraftens elementer inden for dem selv.
