“The great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly.”
Zephaniah 1:14
. Let us be shod with the gospel shoes, ready to march
at a moment’s notice.—

Church members ... are to be ever ready to spring into action in
obedience to the Master’s commands. Wherever we see work waiting
to be done, we are to take it up and do it, constantly looking unto
Jesus.... If every church member were a living missionary, the gospel
would speedily be proclaimed in all countries, to all peoples, nations,
and tongues.—

We are nearing the close of this earth’s history. We have before us
a great work,—the closing work of giving the last warning message
to a sinful world. There are men who will be taken from the plow,
from the vineyard, from various other branches of work, and sent forth
by the Lord to give this message to the world.—

Church 7:270

Sound an alarm throughout the length and breadth of the earth.
Tell the people that the day of the Lord is near, and hasteth greatly. Let
none be left unwarned. We might have been in the place of the poor
souls that are in error. We might have been placed among barbarians.
According to the truth we have received above others, we are debtors
to impart the same to them.—
Testimonies for the Church 6:22
.
My brethren and sisters, it is too late to devote your time and
strength to self-serving. Let not the last day find you destitute of the
heavenly treasure. Seek to push the triumphs of the cross, seek to
enlighten souls, labor for the salvation of your fellow beings, and your
work will abide the trying test of fire.—

9:56

We must give this message quickly, line upon line, precept upon
precept. Men will soon be forced to great decisions, and it is our duty
to see that they are given an opportunity to understand the truth, that
they may take their stand intelligently on the right side. The Lord
calls upon His people to labor—labor earnestly and wisely—while
probation lingers.—
