A.W. Tozer emphasizes the urgent need for Christians to recognize their spiritual shortcomings and worldly behaviors, urging a return to the core message and methods of the New Testament. He calls for a collective confession of moral decline and spiritual coldness, advocating for the cleansing of both personal lives and the church from unscriptural activities and carnal projects. Tozer stresses that true revival begins with self-examination and the bold action of removing distractions that hinder genuine worship and service to God.

George Fox emphasizes the necessity of maintaining purity within the church, urging believers to avoid fellowship with those who engage in sinful behaviors, even if they are considered brothers or sisters in Christ. He references various scriptures to illustrate that the church must be kept clean, and that believers should separate themselves from unclean actions and individuals, both within and outside the church. Fox highlights the importance of living a life of sincerity and truth, and the need for diligence in serving God and caring for one another, particularly in the context of family and community. He warns against the dangers of idleness and the influence of worldly behaviors, calling for a commitment to godliness and purity in all aspects of life.
