There is no way to peace along the way of safety. For peace must be dared. It is itself the great venture and can never be safe. Peace is the opposite of security. To demand guarantees is to want to protect oneself. Peace means giving oneself completely to God's commandment. Wanting no security, but in faith and obedience laying the destiny of the nations in the hand of almighty God. Not trying to direct it for selfish purposes. Battles are won not with weapons, but with God. They are won when the way leads to the cross.

Whenever Christ calls us, His call leads us to death.

The Lord confers great honor on his servants when he brings them suffering.

The right way to requite evil, according to Jesus, is not to resist it. This saying of Christ removes the Church from the sphere of politics and law.

The richness of God’s Word ought to determine our prayer, not the poverty of our heart.

the world exercises dominion by force and Christ and Christians conquer by service.

The church is her true self only when she exists for humanity.
