"Every day that passes brings us nearer the end. Does it bring us also near to God? Are we watching unto prayer? Those with whom we associate day by day need our help, our guidance. They may be in such a condition of mind that a word in season will be sent home by the Holy Spirit as a nail in a sure place. Tomorrow some of these souls may be where we can never reach them again. What is our influence over these fellow travelers? What effort do we make to win them to Christ? 9T 27.1"
"But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin."

"messengers in whose hearts self-idolatry, which lies at the foundation of all sin, has been crucified.” 9T 27.2"
"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."
The concept of crucifying 'self-idolatry' aligns with the idea of being 'crucified with Christ' in Galatians 2:20, representing a death to the old self and a life lived in Christ.
