Help must come from the outside, and it has come and comes daily and answers in the Word of Jesus Christ.

A righteous person is one who lives for the next generation.

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.

Every Christian must be fully Christian by bringing God into his whole life, not merely into some spiritual realm.

He who loves community destroys community; he who loves the brethren builds community.

In the New Testament our enemies are those who harbor hostility against us, not those against whom we cherish hostility, for Jesus refuses to reckon with such a possibility.

A person who loves community tends to destroy it. But a person who loves people creates community wherever he goes.
