In speaking before others, it is possible for a great miracle to happen. God, really God, works so powerfully that speakers and listeners no longer feel anything that comes from men, especially from the one speaking, whom they forget completely. They are so overpowered by God that chains fall, sickness departs, new birth is given and God and His Kingdom alone prevail.

- Eberhard Arnold From a letter, 1934It must have been difficult for you to see so much break down under God’s flashes of lightning, to have to recognize so much as inadequate, yes, some of it even as dangerous and destructive! Not only that which is evil, also that which is almost good, must yield to what is better, what is alone and truly good.

It is depressing to see how blunt everything still is, how little we come to a holy revolution, how little we fight the battle until death, how little we dare to break with all existing values toward that which is to come! I do wish that you may dare the utmost. The utmost begins with the free decision to fight against oneself, to give up oneself, to place one’s very small self into the very great for which alone it is worth living. May Christ be your deliverer and leader in this!
- Eberhard Arnold
Just as the earth would be no less dead than the moon but for its glowing depths—just as the inner core contains the vital strength of a fruit—just as the beautiful chalice-like petals of a flower hold the organs of its fertilization hidden within it—in the same way there can be but one center for all vital energy: that which is within and hidden.
