Many who profess to have great light are walking in sparks of their own kindling. They need to have their lips touched with a live coal from off the altar, that they may pour forth the truth like men who are inspired. Too many go into the desk with mechanical discourses that have no light from heaven in them. {5T 252.3}

Mange som bekender at have stort lys vandrer i deres egen optændings gnister. De behøver at få deres læber berørt med et levende kul fra alteret, så de kan fremgyde sandheden, som inspirerede mennesker. For mange går på talerstolen med mekaniske prædikener, der ikke har noget himmelsk lys i sig.
