Your wife has heard your expressions of darkness until she is molded in a great degree to your ideas. The fear of the Lord is almost entirely removed from you both. You are now sowing seeds of unbelief, and they will produce a plentiful harvest by and by, in the reaping of which you will take no satisfaction. You have lent yourself to the enemy to be his agent to lead souls to doubt and unbelief. Your whole work has been to scatter from Christ. You glory in your sharpness, your aptness in confusing minds. You think it a mark of intelligence; but it is the same kind of intelligence that the prince of darkness possesses, and will receive the same reward that he is winning by his intense activity and shrewdness. The tendency of this age is to unbelief, to making light of godliness and true religion. This is Satan’s plan, and when you yield your powers to unbelief you are led captive by his devices to do his work. {5T 288.1}

Din hustru har hørt dine mørkets ord, indtil hun i stor grad er formet efter dine tanker. Herrens frygt er næsten helt borte fra jer begge. I sår nu vantroens frø og de vil give en overdådig høst, om lidt, under den høst I ikke er tilfredse med. I har lånt jer selv til fjenden, at være hans redskaber der leder sjæle i tvivl og vantro. Hele jeres arbejde har været at sprede fra Kristus. I er stolte af jeres skarpsindighed, jeres evne til at forvirre folk. I tror det er et tegn på intelligens; men det er den samme slags intelligens, som mørkets fyrste har og vil få den samme løn som han vinder ved sine mange aktiviteter og drevenhed. Tendensen for denne tidsalder, er manglende tro, tage let på gudsfrygt og sand religion. Dette er Satans plan og når I hengiver jeres styrke til vantro, ledes I fangne af hans bedrag, til at gøre hans arbejde.
