More quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Only those who put tomorrow completely into God's hand and receive fully today what they need for their lives are really secure.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
the world exercises dominion by force and Christ and Christians conquer by service.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The Kingdom is to be in the midst of your enemies
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The fearful danger of the present time is that above the cry for authority, we forget that man stands alone before the ultimate authority, and that anyone who lays violent hands on man here, is infringing eternal laws, and taking upon himself superhuman authority, which will eventually crush him.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The Church is the Church only when it exists for others...not dominating, but helping and serving. It must tell men of every calling what it means to live for Christ, to exist for others.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Christianity without the living Christ is inevitably Christianity without discipleship, and Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
If Jesus Christ is not true God, how could he help us? If he is not true man, how could he help us?
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
What we are in ourselves, and what we owe to others makes us a complete whole.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
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.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
We should find God in what we do know, not in what we don't not in outstanding problems, but in those we have already solved.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Prayer does not mean simply to pour out one's heart. It means rather to find the way to God and to speak with him, whether the heart is full or empty.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Wherever it pleases God to put man in this world, the Christian must be ready for martyrdom and death. It is only in this way that man learns faith.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
He who loves community destroys community he who loves the brethren builds community.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
In Jesus, the service of God and the service of the least of the brethren were one.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The deep meaning of the cross of Christ is that there is no suffering on earth that is not borne by God.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Only the suffering God can help.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A Christian is someone who shares the sufferings of God in the world.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The celebration of Advent is possible only to those who are troubled in soul, who know themselves to be poor and imperfect, and who look forward to something greater to come.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Wherever there are sinners, the weak, the sorrowful, the poor in the world, that is where God goes.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
