6T 436
(Testimonies for the Church Volume 6 436)
In every church the members should be so trained that they will devote time to the winning of souls to Christ. How can it be said of the church, “Ye are the light of the world,”(Matthew 5:14) unless the members of the church are actually imparting light? (6T 436.1) MC VC
Let those who have charge of the flock of Christ awake to their duty and set many souls to work. (6T 436.2) MC VC
Let the Churches Awake VC
Peculiar and rapid changes will soon take place, and God’s people are to be endowed with the Holy Spirit, so that with heavenly wisdom they may meet the emergencies of this age, and as far as possible counteract the demoralizing movements of the world. If the church is not asleep, if the followers of Christ watch and pray, they may have light to comprehend and appreciate the movements of the enemy. (6T 436.3) MC VC
The end is near! God calls upon the church to set in order the things that remain. Workers together with God, you are empowered by the Lord to take others with you into the kingdom. You are to be God’s living agents, channels of light to the world, and round about you are angels of heaven with their commission from Christ to sustain, strengthen, and uphold you in working for the salvation of souls. (6T 436.4) MC VC
