Darkness is getting the control where only the Spirit of God should rule. But few who engage in the work realize the necessity of personal effort and individual responsibility in whatever department they occupy. Few feel the sacredness of the work in which they are engaged. They regard it as upon a common level with ordinary enterprises. {4T 186.2}

Mørke for styringen hvor kun Guds ånd burde herske. Men få, som involverer sig i arbejdet, indser det nødvendige i at have et personligt forhold og et personligt ansvar uanset hvilken afdeling de har ansvar for. Få føler helligheden i det arbejde de er involveret i. De betragter det for at være på almindeligt niveau sammen med ordinære virksomheder.
