Hundreds, yea, thousands, who have heard the message of salvation, are still idlers in the market place, when they might be engaged in some line of active service. To these Christ is saying, “Why stand ye here all the day idle?” and He adds, “Go ye also into the vineyard.” Matthew 20:6, 7. Why is it that many more do not respond to the call? Is it because they think themselves excused in that they do not stand in the pulpit? Let them understand that there is a large work to be done outside the pulpit, by thousands of consecrated lay members. {FLB 308.4}

Hundredvis, ja tusindvis, som har hørt frelsesbudskabet, står stadig ledige på markedspladsen, hvor de burde være engageret i en form for tjeneste. Til disse siger Kristus: »Hvorfor har I stået ledige her hele dagen?« Og han tilføjer: »Gå I også hen i min vingård.« Matt.20,6.7 Hvorfor er det at mange flere ikke besvarer dette kald? Er det fordi de tror de er fritaget, når de ikke står bag prædikestolen? Lad dem forstå at der er et stort arbejde at udrette udenfor prædikestolen, som tusindvis helligede lægmedlemmer skal gøre.
