The testimony of my life is always only for the One through whom we live and have all things. This testimony, however, requires unity with the Church of Christ.

- Eberhard Arnold From a letter, May 1920How glad I am that you are so positively united with me in the experience of peace and of Jesus’ spirit of love! The question is not at all one of our only refusing to do military service, though people always put it in this negative way. This refusal, after all, follows as a matter of course from a positive experience of the Spirit of Christ. When this Spirit, which is expressed so very intensely in the Sermon on the Mount and in Romans 8, penetrates us and glows in us, then we will become victorious people who must work as long as it is daylight—work in the productive, creative work of love.

For Jesus alone!
- Eberhard Arnold, April 1908
So may I live
with all I have
and nothing less.
I’ll give him all,
my Lord and King –
so will my heart
find happiness.

It is well for us that at such hours the light is shining from the stable of Bethlehem, and that we are able to sense what it means that the kingdom of God was born as a little child when the time was fulfilled.
