Error and Fanaticism in a Confused Ministry—God calls upon His people to be Christians in thought, in word, and in deed. Luther made the statement that religion is never so much in danger as among reverend men. I can say that many who handle the truth are not sanctified through the truth. They have not the faith that works by love and purifies the soul. They become accustomed to handling sacred things, and because of this, many handle the Word of God irreverently. They have not walked in the light but have closed their eyes to light. {Ev 592.3}

Vildfarelse og fanatisme i en forvirret forkyndergerning. - Gud kalder på sit folk til at være kristne i tanke, i ord og i handling. Luther udtalte at religion aldrig er så farligt som den er blandt ærede mænd. Jeg kan sige at mange som har med sandheden at gøre ikke er helliget igennem sandheden. De har ikke den tro der virker ved kærlighed og renser sjælen. De gør det til vane at arbejde med hellige ting, og derfor behandler mange Guds Ord uærbødigt. De har ikke vandret i lyset, men har lukket deres øjne for lyset.
