Our community with one another consists solely in what Christ has done to each of us.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Any honours that come our way are only stolen from him to whom alone they really belong, the Lord who sent us.
DIETRICH BONHOEFFER

A God who let us prove his existence would be an idol.

We must learn to regard people less in the light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer.
DIETRICH BONHOEFFER

Learning Light People Suffering
Not hero worship, but intimacy with Christ.
DIETRICH BONHOEFFER

God Worship
A pastor should never complain about his congregation, certainly never to other people, but also not to God. A congregation has not been entrusted to him in order that he should become its accuser before God and men.

Discipleship is not an offer that man makes to Christ.

Nothing can be more cruel than the leniency which abandons others to their sin. Nothing can be more compassionate than the severe reprimand which calls another Christian in one’s community back from the path of sin.

When all is said and done, the life of faith is nothing if not an unending struggle of the spirit with every available weapon against the flesh.

Nothing can be known either of God or man until God has become man in Jesus Christ.

I can no longer condemn or hate a brother for whom I pray, no matter how much trouble he causes me.
