The Time and The Work

Various Lines of Work

“Lend your neighbors some of our smaller books. If their interest is awakened, take some of the larger books.... By lending or selling books, by distributing papers, and by holding Bible readings, our lay members could do much in their own neighborhoods. Filled with love for souls, they could proclaim the message with such power that many would be converted.”—Testimonies for the Church 9:35. PH120 19.5

“Visit the sick and suffering, and show a kindly interest in them. If possible, do something to make them more comfortable. Through this means you can reach their hearts, and speak a word for Christ. PH120 20.1

“Eternity alone will reveal how far-reaching such a line of labor can be. Other lines of usefulness will open before those who are willing to do the duty nearest them. It is not learned, eloquent speakers that are needed now, but humble, Christlike men and women, who have learned from Jesus of Nazareth to be meek and lowly, and who, trusting in His strength, will go forth into the highways and hedges to give the invitation, ‘Come; for all things are now ready.’”—Testimonies for the Church 9:36.
