More quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Not until one person desires to keep his own bread for himself does hunger ensue.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The biggest mistake you can make in your life is to be always afraid of making a mistake.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A god who let us prove his existence would be an idol.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The physical presence of other Christians is a source of incomparable joy and strength to the believer.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Sometimes we just need a firm kick in the pants. An unsmiling expectation that if we mean all these wonderful things we talk about and sing about, then let’s see something to prove it.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Cheap grace is the deadly enemy of our church. We are fighting today for costly grace.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The restoration of the church must surely depend on a new kind of monasticism, which has nothing in common with the old but a life of uncompromising discipleship, following Christ according to the sermon on the mount. I believe the time has come to gather people together to do this.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A king who dies on the cross must be the king of a rather strange kingdom.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Once again, Jesus calls those who follow him to share his passion.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Good Friday and Easter free us to think about other things far beyond our own personal fate, about the ultimate meaning of all life, suffering, and events and we lay hold of a great hope.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Every Christian community must realize that not only do the weak need the strong, but also that the strong cannot exist without the weak. The elimination of the weak is the death of fellowship.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The early morning belongs to the Church of the risen Christ. At the break of light it remembers the morning on which death and sin lay prostrate in defeat and new life and salvation were given to mankind
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
So the Christian, too, belongs not in the seclusion of a cloistered life but in the thick of foes. There is his commission, his work.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
What we shall need is not geniuses, or cynics, or misanthropes, or clever tacticians, but plain, honest, straghtforward men.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
In Jesus Christ we have been chosen from eternity, accepted in time, and united for eternity.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
May God in His mercy lead us through these times but above all, may He lead us to Himself.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self- satisfied in fact, he can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make him aggressive. A fool must therefore be treated more cautiously than a scoundrel.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Nothing is so at odds with prayer as vanity.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A pastor who does not pray daily for his congregation is not a pastor.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Christians have forgotten that the ministry of listening has been committed to them by Him who is Himself the great listener and whose work they should share. We should listen with the ears of God that we may speak the Word of God.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
