To Have Root in Themselves—It is not in God’s purpose that the church shall be sustained by life drawn from the minister. They are to have root in themselves. The gospel news, the message of warnings, the third angel’s message, is to be voiced by church members.—Manuscript 83, 1897. {Ev 343.1}

At have rod i sig selv. - Det er ikke Guds hensigt at menigheden skal underholdes af træk fra prædikantens liv. De skal ikke have rod i sig selv. Menighedsmedlemmerne skal give udtryk for evangeliets nyheder, advarselsbudskaberne, den tredje engels budskab. - manuskript 83, 1897.
