Avoiding Long Committees at Night—A minister cannot keep in the best spiritual frame of mind while he is called upon to settle little difficulties in the various churches. This is not his appointed work. God desires to use every faculty of His chosen messengers. Their mind should not be wearied by long committee meetings at night; for God wants all their brain power to be used in proclaiming the gospel as it is in Christ Jesus. {Ev 662.4}

Undgå lange bestyrelsesmøder om aftenen. – En prædikant kan ikke have det bedste åndelige tankesæt når han kaldes til at bringe vanskelighederne i de forskellige menigheder i orden. Det arbejde er han ikke udpeget til. (663) Gud ønsker at bruge alle evner hos sine udvalgte budbringere. Deres tanker skal ikke bebyrdes af lange bestyrelsesmøder om natten; for Gud ønsker at al deres hjernekraft skal bruges på at forkynde evangeliet, som det er i Kristus Jesus.
