It is the will toward God, the will to the all-controlling might of His kingdom, His love and justice, which forces us into the inner seclusion where the loneliness of the soul becomes the fellowship of the soul with God and the fellowship of the Church.

- Eberhard ArnoldWe ask only one thing: that the Holy Spirit come to us and establish among us the government and reign of God; that nothing else count for us but only this one thing, the Spirit of the coming kingdom of Jesus Christ. Him we entreat to step into the life of this community, so that from here he may stream out and radiate into the whole world, into the hearts of all men; a hidden and mysterious working of this very Spirit who speaks his word from heart to heart and from soul to soul, who carries his message onward, reveals his life, proclaims his prophecy, and manifests his reality.

Yesterday's quote
July 16,2025
Only one thing matters: to be open to the living God, to the life-giving Spirit of Jesus Christ, so that He may awaken and bring into being the same life that He gave to. If we are open in this way, new unities of life will constantly arise in which the love of complete community encompasses and penetrates everything. Complete community is a matter of new birth and resurrection. This has been given even to our time by the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ in the power of eternal birth and new resurrection.

Christ, who is undivided, wants to have us whole and undivided. He loves decision. He loves His enemies more than His half-hearted friends. He hates those who falsify Him more than those who oppose Him. What He abhors is the lukewarm, the colorless gray, the half-light, the pious talk that blurs and mixes everything and commits one to nothing. He sweeps all this away whenever He draws near.
- Eberhard Arnold
