It Takes Men of Courage—It requires moral courage to take a position to keep the commandments of the Lord. An opposer of the truth once said that it was only weak-minded people, foolish, ignorant persons, who would turn away from the churches to keep the seventh day as the Sabbath. But a minister who had embraced the truth, replied, “If you think it takes weak-minded persons, just try it.” It takes moral courage, firmness, decision, perseverance, and very much prayer to step out on the unpopular side. We are thankful that we can come to Christ as the poor suffering ones came to Christ in the temple.... {Ev 240.2}

Det kræver mennesker med mod. - Det kræver moralsk mod at holde Herrens bud. En modstander af sandheden sagde det kun var svagsindede mennesker, tåbelige og uvidne personer, som ville vende bort fra kirkerne og holde den syvende dag som sabbat. Men en prædikant som havde grebet sandheden svarede: "Hvis du tror det kræver svage mennesker, så prøv det selv." Det kræver moralsk mod, fasthed, og beslutsomhed, udholdenhed og rigtig megen bøn at træde over på de upopulæres side. Vi er taknemmelige over at vi kan komme til Kristus ligesom de stakkels lidende kom til Kristus i templet. . . . .
