It is not in our life that God's help and presence must still be proved, but rather God's presence and help have been demonstrated for us in the life of Jesus Christ. It is in fact more important for us to know what God did to Israel, to his Son Jesus Christ, than to seek what God intends for us today.
Dietrich BonhoefferThe only man who has the right to say that he is justified by grace alone is the man who has left all to follow Christ. Such a man knows that the call to discipleship is a gift of grace, and that the call is inseparable from the grace. But those who try to use this grace as a dispensation from following Christ are simply deceiving themselves.
Dietrich BonhoefferIt is from God that parents receive their children, and it is to God that they should lead them.
Dietrich BonhoefferHow would you expect to find community while you intentionally withdraw from it at some point? The disobedient cannot believe; only the obedient believe.
