Bless them that persecute you.' If our enemy cannot put up with us any longer and takes to cursing us, our immediate reaction must be to lift up our hands and bless him. Our enemies are the blessed of the Lord. Their curse can do us no harm. May their poverty be enriched with all the riches of God, with the blessing of Him whom they seek to oppose in vain. We are ready to endure their curses so long as they redound to their blessing.
Dietrich BonhoefferLet him who cannot be alone beware of community. Let him who is not in community beware of being alone.
Dietrich BonhoefferCheap grace is the deadly enemy of our church. We are fighting today for costly grace.
