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 ArnoldWe expect God’s future with as much assurance as a farmer awaits his coming harvest. We need to be prepared for terrible suffering and the cruelest death in these dangerous times, for we know that faith can be proved only in distress and persecution. The wrath of God and the fire of his judgment must spread across a world unprepared for his coming. And if we, too, give way to our flesh and want to be spared, if we crave for the comfortable life we led earlier with the rest of the world, then we shall have to meet judgment like everyone else and remain far from God’s kingdom of God.

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.
