As you faithfully do your duty in the home, the father as a priest of the household, the mother as a home missionary, you are multiplying agencies for doing good outside of the home. As you improve your own powers, you are becoming better fitted to labor in the church and in the neighborhood. By binding your children to yourselves and to God, fathers and mothers and children become laborers together with God. {7T 67.1}

Når I trofast gør jeres pligt i hjemmet faderen som familiens præst og moderen som hjemmets missionær vil I få mange flere muligheder for at gøre godt uden for hjemmet. Når I bruger jeres kræfter, bliver I bedre i stand til at arbejde i menigheden og i nabolaget. Når I knytter jeres børn til jer selv og til Gud, bliver fædre og mødre og børn Guds medarbejdere.
