“Without Me,” says Christ, “ye can do nothing.” Are we who claim to be workers with Christ, united to Him? Do we abide in Christ? and are we one with Him? The message that we bear is world wide. It must come before all nations, tongues, and peoples. The Lord will not require any one of us to go forth with this message without giving us grace and power to present it to the people in a manner corresponding to its importance. The great question with us today is: Are we carrying to the world this solemn message of truth in a way to show its importance? The Lord will work with the laborers if they will make Christ their only dependence. He never designed that His missionaries should work without His grace, destitute of His power. {5T 591.2}

Bror N, du er ikke andagtsøgende af naturen og derfor må du gøre stadige bestræbelser på at opdyrke tro. Det er let for dig at lade Kristus falde ud af din erfaring. Herren har givet dig sin velsignelse førhen og hvor lifligt var det ikke for din sjæl! Hvilken (587) trøst, hvilket mod gav det dig ikke! Den lidenskab er at ophøje uddannelser, men jeg siger sandheden når jeg fortæller dig at uddannelse vil, medmindre den afvejes af religiøse principper, være en kraft til ondt.
