I entreat God for unambiguous clarity of expression, certainty and decision of word, comprehensive attestation to the whole Gospel. And all this not through intellectual calculation and with a mental aim, but in the strength of what is given by God himself, and through inspiration.

- Eberhard ArnoldWhen we are no longer able to be there for all men, when we can no longer concern ourselves with the need and suffering of the whole world, our life has no longer any right to exist. As long as I live, I shall protest if people who are fighting for any ideal whatsoever no longer find an understanding among us. People who are fighting with a free and generous spirit for purity, for national unity, for pacifism, for a renewal of national characteristics, who are fighting for any political ideal, for any renewal of society cannot do it just in their own strength. If we were to have an understanding only for Anabaptist thinking, I shall not go along with it. I shall protest against it as long as I live.

Yesterday's quote
February 06,2026
To experience the totality of those who believe in Christ as one organism, as one body, as the Body of Christ, is a special experience of faith. With this Body we are indissolubly united; its life is our life, its deficiency is our deficiency, its weakness is our weakness, its strength is our strength.

The first steps toward resurrection are taken when believers are no longer concerned with themselves, but turn completely and solely to the great cause of God’s kingdom.
