The Inner Circle Paramount—All our powers are to be used for Christ. This is the debt we each owe to God. In forming a relationship with Christ, the renewed man is but coming back to his appointed relationship with God. He is a representative of Christ, and he is ever to pray and watch unto prayer. His duties lie around him, nigh and afar off. His first duty is to his children and his nearest relatives. Nothing can excuse him from neglecting the inner circle for the larger circle outside. {1MCP 162.1}

(162) Indercirklen er altoverskyggende. - Alle vore kræfter skal bruges for Kristus. Dette er den gæld vi hver i sær skylder Gud. Når vi danner en relation med Kristus, kommer det fornyede menneske blot tilbage til sit dertil indrettede forhold til Gud. Han er en Kristi repræsentant, og han skal altid bede og våge i bøn. Hans pligter ligger omkring ham selv, nær og fjern. Hans første og fremmeste pligt er for hans børn og nærmeste slægtninge. Intet kan undskylde ham, fra at forsømme inderkredsen frem for yderkredsen.
