Those who are inclined to regard their individual judgment as supreme are in grave peril. It is Satan's studied effort to separate such ones from those who are channels of light, through whom God has wrought to build up and extend His work in the earth. To neglect or despise those whom God has appointed to bear the responsibilities of leadership in connection with the advancement of the truth, is to reject the means that He has ordained for the help, encouragement, and strength of His people. For any worker in the Lord's cause to pass these by, and to think that his light must come through no other channel than directly from God, is to place himself in a position where he is liable to be deceived by the enemy and overthrown. The Lord in His wisdom has arranged that by means of the close relationship that should be maintained by all believers, Christian shall be united to Christian and church to church. Thus the human instrumentality will be enabled to co-operate with the divine. Every agency will be subordinate to the Holy Spirit, and all the believers will be united in an organized and well-directed effort to give to the world the glad tidings of the grace of God.

De, der har tilbøjelighed til at anse deres egen dom for at være afgørende, er i stor fare. Satan gør sig de største anstrengelser for at skille sådanne mennesker fra dem, som er lysets vejledere, og gennem hvem Gud har virket for at opbygge og udbrede sin gerning på jorden. At ringeagte eller foragte dem, som Gud har ansat til at bære ledelsens ansvar og samtidig fremme sandheden, er det samme som at forkaste de midler, han har anvist til hjælp, opmuntring og styrkelse af sit folk. Hvis nogen, der vil arbejde for Herrens sag, overser disse og mener, at han må få sit lys direkte fra Gud, bringer han sig selv i en stilling, hvor han let vil lade sig bedrage af fjenden og blive besejret. Herren har i sin visdom ordnet det således, at ved den snævre forbindelse, som burde bestå mellem alle troende, skulle den ene kristne være knyttet til den anden, og menighed til menighed. På denne måde vil den menneskelige hjælp blive i stand til at samarbejde med dem guddommelige. Enhver medarbejder vil underordne sig Helligånden, og alle de troende vil være forenede i en velordnet og dygtigt ledet bestræbelse for at bringe verden det gode budskab om Guds nåde.
