In trembling reverence, man stands in wonder before the life-filled tree, by the living bubbling spring, under the life-giving radiant stars of day and night, in the midst of the fruitfulness of earth and its life. How great and mighty must God be, who brings forth and sustains all things! Into a powerfully shaken and moved heart comes the demand: the great Creator God must become undisputed ruler over all this powerful life.

- Eberhard ArnoldEnter by the narrow gate! This means, do to all people what you wish they would do to you! This is generally overlooked. You will be going the way only when you do for all men the same as you ask from God for your own life. In other words, absolute social justice and a peaceful attitude in keeping with God’s kingdom. We are emissaries of the coming kingdom of God, serving only the one law, the spiritual law of God’s kingdom.

Each one of us, of course, must preserve his inner freedom, so that each one follows the holy Shall and the holy Must that lives within him, without making himself in any way dependent.

Only the Spirit of Christ can guarantee such a working together. It is a fact that today the Spirit is again urging the realization of this communal life. All are expecting the Christians to give an example; all expect that they will be able to attain what others seek in vain. In our circles, in us all, there is still much weakness. Yet I have the invincible certainty that our small strength will urge us toward results that do not come from ourselves.
