We may have heard and read a great deal about the words and life of Jesus. We may be able to say a great deal about the words of the Bible. But unless the spirit and essence of His love grips and encompasses the whole of our lives to the depths, dead knowledge only leads to destruction.

- Eberhard Arnold God’s RevolutionTo say something really bold: I believe God controls the hell of human society with an infernal machine, the state. Someone may say, “I am going to operate this machine and make it less hellish; I will moderate the satanic properties of hell; I will serve the state.” Such a resolve commands respect. But for myself, I refuse to mount the machines of hell. I will board the ship that shows all humankind the way to the other shore: to the kingdom of peace, justice, and perfect love. We need people who dare to set the course for this other shore, who dare to live in accordance with the ways of the land on the other side. It is the way we can best serve the world in this terrifying moment of history.

Yesterday's quote
July 30,2025
People who have been gripped by God can only look upon all transitory inequalities as a rousing incitement to the brotherhood of perfect love. The same need, indebtedness and insignificance made them all “poor”, as they liked to be called, especially in the earliest epoch, because their faith in the one God and their attitude to material goods could only be understood as poverty.

The peace of God is a force like a streaming flood, a reviving wind, an almighty power. It alone can bring all the mills of human work into action. It can be compared to a mighty torrent whose waters overflow, while the overflowing power and movement of its depths perform the greatest task.
