Faith is only real when there is obedience, never without it, and faith only becomes faith in the act of obedience.
Dietrich Bonhoefferthe world exercises dominion by force and Christ and Christians conquer by service.
Dietrich BonhoefferA Christian fellowship lives and exists by the intercession of its members for one another, or it collapses. I can no longer condemn or hate a brother for whom I pray, no matter how much trouble he causes me. His face, that hitherto may have been strange and intolerable to me, is transformed in intercession into the countenance of a brother for whom Christ died, the face of a forgiven sinner.
