Sorry I’ve been off for a week or so.
Been reading Bonhoeffer lately. Excellent stuff. This comes from his Letters and Papers from Prison, compiled after his execution at the hands of the Nazis. As I read the paper, “After Ten Years”, several quotes stood out to me. I’ll choose this one for this week. Others possibly to follow.
“Who stands fast? Only the man whose final standard is not his reason, his principles, his conscience, his freedom, or his virture, but who is ready to sacrifice all this when he is called to obedient and responsible action in faith and in exclusive allegiance to God — the responsible man, who tries to make his whole life an answer to the question and call of God. Where are those responsible people?”
Great question.
Peace.
That’s the right question.
Cost of Discipleship–I’ve got to find where I packed that book.
