We see large churches gathered in different localities. Their members have gained a knowledge of the truth, and many are content to hear the word of life without seeking to impart light. They feel little responsibility for the progress of the work, little interest in the salvation of souls. They are full of zeal in worldly things, but they do not bring their religion into their business. They say: “Religion is religion, and business is business.” They believe that each has its proper sphere, but they say: “Let them be separated.” {6T 424.2}

[Som aldrig før bør vi ikke blot bede om, at der må blive sendt arbejdere ud til den store høst, men at vi må få en klar opfattelse af sandheden, således at vi, når sandhedens budbærere kommer, kan tage imod budskabet og vise agtelse for budbringeren. Vejl f menigh bd. 3 side 45]
