It is time for us to heed the teaching of God’s word. All His injunctions are given for our good, to convert the soul from sin to righteousness. Every convert to the truth should be instructed in regard to the Lord’s requirement for tithes and offerings. As churches are raised up, this work must be taken hold of decidedly and carried forward in the spirit of Christ. All that men enjoy, they receive from the Lord’s great firm, and He is pleased to have His heritage enjoy His goods; but all who stand under the bloodstained banner of Prince Immanuel are to acknowledge their dependence upon God and their accountability to Him by returning to the treasury a certain portion as His own. This is to be invested in missionary work in fulfillment of the commission given to His disciples by the Son of God: “All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations.” “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature,” “baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.” {6T 447.1}

Da Herren snart kommer, er det tid til at lægge vore penge ud til vekselererne. Det er tid til at lægge enhver dollar, vi kan undvære, ind i Herrens skatkammer, så institutioner kan oprettes til uddannelse af arbejdere, der undervises på samme måde som dem i profetskolerne. Hvis Herren kommer og finder jer i færd med dette, vil han sige: »Vel, du gode og tro tjener, ..... gå ind til din herres glæde.«
