Sacredness of God’s Work—To handle sacred things as we would common matters is an offense to God; for that which God has set apart to do His service in giving light to this world is holy. Those who have any connection with the work of God are not to walk in the vanity of their own wisdom, but in the wisdom of God, or they will be in danger of placing sacred and common things on the same level, and thus separate themselves from God.—The Review and Herald, September 8, 1896. {Ev 639.2}

Helligheden i Guds arbejde. – At behandle hellige ting, som om det var almindelige ting, er en forhånelse mod Gud; for det arbejde som Gud har sat til side, at gøre Hans gerning og give lyset til denne verden, er et helligt arbejde. Dem som har forbindelse med Guds arbejde, skal ikke gå forgæves i deres egen visdom, men i Guds visdom, ellers vil de være i fare for at sætte hellige og almindelige ting på samme niveau, og derved adskille sig selv fra Gud.— The Review and Herald, 8. september, 1896.
