Committee MeetingsLet those who attend committee meetings remember that they are meeting with God, who has given them their work. Let them come together with reverence and consecration of heart. They meet to consider important matters connected with the Lord’s cause. In every particular their actions are to show that they are desirous of understanding His will in regard to the plans to be laid for the advancement of His work. Let them not waste a moment in unimportant conversation; for the Lord’s business should be conducted in a businesslike, perfect way. If some member of a committee is careless and irreverent, let him be reminded that he is in the presence of a Witness by whom all actions are weighed. {7T 256.1}

(256) [De, som deltager i bestyrelsesmøder, bør huske, at de mødes med Gud, der har givet dem deres gerning. De bør samles med ærbødige og helligede hjerter. De kommer sammen for at drøfte vigtige ting i forbindelse med Herrens værk. Deres handlinger bør i alle enkeltheder vise, at de ønsker at forstå hans vilje med hensyn til de planer, der skal lægges for at fremme hans værk. Ikke et øjeblik bør spildes på uvæsentlig samtale, for Herrens anliggender bør gennemgås på en forretningsmæssig, fuldkommen måde. Hvis et medlem af bestyrelsen er ligegyldig og uærbødig, bør han mindes om, at han er i selskab med et vidne, der bedømmer alle handlinger.
