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.

- Eberhard ArnoldWe need not worry. We need not fear. A comfort is given to us: the Son of Man is coming. The hour is near, when he will come again. We shall not finish our proclamation, we shall not have traversed the whole of our planet, and Jesus will be there. Our pilgrimage will stretch from Germany to England, from England to America, to Japan and Russia, and back again to Germany. While we are thus traveling, Jesus will come.

Yesterday's quote
March 22,2026
Like the water of the mountains, the Spirit of the heights seeks the lowest place. He strives downwards. His Church bears the lowly and childlike spirit which alone is of God. She is with Mary in the stable. The Church comes into being with Christ on the gallows. She goes the way of apostolic poverty. With her one mind and one heart, she honors no one but God in Christ Jesus.

Perfect community is a matter of new birth and resurrection. Into our time also, the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ has placed the power of eternal birth and new resurrection.
