You who profess to love God, take Jesus with you wherever you go; and, like the patriarchs of old, erect an altar to the Lord wherever you pitch your tent. A reformation in this respect is needed, a reformation that shall be deep and broad. Parents need to reform; ministers need to reform. They need God in their households. They need to build the waste places of Zion, to set up her gates and make strong her walls for a defense of the people. {5T 320.3}

I som bekender at elske Gud, tager Jesus med jer hvor I end tager hen; og, ligesom de gamle patriarker, rejser et alter for Herren, hvor I end rejser jeres telt. I denne henseende er der (321) brug for respekt, en reformation der skal være dyb og bred. Forældre behøver at reformere sig, prædikanter behøver at reformere sig. De behøver Gud i deres hjem. De behøver at opbygge Zions øde steder, rejse hendes porte og gøre hendes mure stærke til at forsvare folket.
