We need keen, sanctified perception. This perception is not to be used in criticizing and condemning one another, but discerning the signs of the times. We are to keep our hearts with all diligence, that we may not make shipwreck of faith. Many who were once firm believers in the truth have become careless in regard to their spiritual welfare and are yielding, without the slightest opposition, to Satan’s well-laid plots. It is time for our people to take their families from the cities into more retired localities, else many of the youth, and many also of those older in years, will be ensnared and taken by the enemy. {8T 101.1}

(101) Vi behøver en stærk, helliggjort opfattelse. Denne opfattelse skal ikke bruges til at kritisere og fordømme hinanden, til at se tidernes tegn. Vi skal holde vore hjerter med al flid, så vi ikke gør troens skibbrud. Mange som tidligere var faste troende i sandheden er blevet ubekymrede for deres åndelige velfærd og giver op, uden den mindste modstand, for Satans vil tilrettelagte anslag. [Tiden er kommet, da vort folk skal flytte med familien bort fra byerne til mere afsides steder, ellers vil mange af de unge og også mange ældre, blive fanget og taget af fjenden. Herren kommer 23.mar.]
