To reinvent your own country you need a great audacity of hope.

Christ's own 'God-forsaken-ness' on the cross showed me where God is present where God had been present in those nights of deaths in the fire storms in Hamburg and where God would be present in my future whatever may come.

Americans as no one else in the Old World are looking ahead and are future-minded without the limitations of traditions and can look ahead without the burdens of the past.

As long as hope does not embrace and transform the thought and action of men, it remains topsy-turvy and ineffective.

The knowledge of the cross brings a conflict of interest between God who has become man and man who wishes to become God.

The church's final word is not 'church' but the glory of the Father and the Son in the Spirit of liberty

No where else in Christianity does the terrible or heroic name of Armageddon play such role as in America. Not even in the Revelation of John.
