Where the life-giving Spirit of the peace of God fills and unites men, it expresses its infinite power in an activity of love which is as many-sided as it is unified, as moved and stirred as it is firm and steadfast, as manifold and varied as it is whole and undivided.

- Eberhard ArnoldThe good human urge is only capable of realizing community and justice if in its deepest depths it allows itself to be overpowered and ruled by God’s urge, by the impulse of his Holy Spirit, by Christ who becomes man, so that God’s kingdom, Christ’s kingdom may come! In our humanness we lack the right expectation of what is to come, in the sense that it is from God, from the other world, from the powers of the future, that the kingdom of justice must and will burst in upon us – not through the efforts of good people.

Yesterday's quote
March 24,2026
God himself is the giver. The Spirit gave God’s fiery brand into the Son’s hand. The torch of wrath became the giver of life. The glowing heat of judgment has gushed forth into the fire of life. It lives in the light of love which liberates and gathers us.

The reality of repentance and of our smallness is effective only if one takes the smallness for granted. As long as that which moves us is not God and His kingdom but instead “my” heart, “my” inadequacy, “my” remorse and “my” repentance, the whole thing is and remains a completely heathen idolatry.
