The light drives away the rising mist. It destroys nothing. But when another world nears it, it quietly and almost imperceptibly drives out of that world all that it will not tolerate. Unless we draw near to the universal sun, all light remains extinguished for us.

- Eberhard Arnold, July 1933 God’s RevolutionWe do not withhold our respect from God-ordained government. (Rom. 13:1) Our calling, however, is a completely different one; it brings with it an order of society utterly different from anything that is possible in the State and the present social order. That is why we refuse to swear oaths before any court of law; we refuse to serve in any state as soldiers or policemen; we refuse to serve in any important government post – for all these are connected with law courts, the police, or the military.

God wants to give the inner life an indestructible harmony which is to work outwardly in powerful melodies of love. This is the strength for activity which has its source in the energy of inner concentration.

Peace is in opposition to fear. Peace is the unity of divine life, and as such it overcomes fear of the disintegration of death. Only perfect life has no end. A short period is appointed for all that is mortal and all the efforts of mortals. Only the peace of God and the kingdom of His Prince of Peace, who rose from the dead, know no end. The work of man must yield to the work of God. Where His lordship extends, peace knows no end.
