We are able to cope with the demands of today’s needs only when we have found the inward concentration in God. And this we find only when the lightning of God’s kingdom has fallen down to earth and lit up the whole horizon.

- Eberhard ArnoldPrayer must never supplant work in God’s kingdom and in his church. If we ask God earnestly for his will to be done on this earth, for his nature to be shown in our work, for his rule to bring men to unity, justice and love – then our life will be a life of work. Faith without works is dead. Prayer without work is hypocrisy. Un¬less we live according to God’s kingdom, the Lord’s Prayer is a lie. Unless love within the community results in work and deed, our Tree of Life will wither and come under judgment.
