More quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
If you reject God's commanding word, you will not receive God's gracious word.
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
In Jesus, the service of God and the service of the least of the brethren were one.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God.....We must not.....assume that our schedule is our own to manage, but allow it to be arranged by God.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It is the fellowship of the Cross to experience the burden of the other. If one does not experience it, the fellowship he belongs to is not Christian. If any member refuses to bear that burden, he denies the law of Christ.
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
Christianity without the living Christ is inevitably Christianity without discipleship, and Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The wars of Israel were the only 'holy wars' in history... there can be no more wars of faith. The only way to overcome our enemy is by loving him.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
the world exercises dominion by force and Christ and Christians conquer by service.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Certainly one must try everything, but only to become more certain what God's way is.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Where God tears great gaps we should not try to fill them with human words.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
After he has been following Christ for a long time, the disciple of Jesus will be asked, Lacked ye anything? and he will answer Nothing, Lord. How could he when he knows that despite hunger and nakedness, persecution and danger, the Lord is always at his side?
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It is much easier for me to imagine a praying murderer, a praying prostitute, than a vain person praying. Nothing is so at odds with prayer as vanity.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Christianity means community through Jesus Christ and in Jesus Christ. No Christian community is more or less than this.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
In ordinary life we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The heart clings to collected treasure. Stored-up possessions get between me and God. Where my treasure is, there is my trust, my security, my comfort, my God. Treasure means idolatry.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Once again, Jesus calls those who follow him to share his passion.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The Church is the Church only when it exists for others.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Where is love more glorified than where she dwells in the midst of her enemies?
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
