The power of heaven, as the authority of the Holy Spirit, is at work in a church of the new creation. It lives in her as a promise of the sunny days to come over an earth growing cold. In the midst of an aging world, the church, impregnated with eternity and filled with the future, gains strength for God and his kingdom through the Spirit. The church receives eternal and infinite majesty as a first beam of light from the future. Going forth from the throne of God’s rule, the Lord of light fills the church eternally.

- Eberhard Arnold From a letter, February 1920The important thing is not saying “Lord, Lord,” but the inward truthfulness in which we do God’s will. In fact we rejoice about all those who are open to this freedom and this will to love, even if they are not yet able to confess to Christ at all. A free movement, a movement of the spirit, an early Christian movement, an academic and modern movement needs the free working of all those who are called, and free personal responsibility.

Yesterday's quote
October 11,2025
The purpose of our gathering for prayer is to call upon God to come to us and implore his Spirit to come down, to call Christ into our midst, not only for ourselves, but for the great events in the wide world. The reason we live in community is so that we may come before God with the power to pray and so that thereby world history may take a decisive turn, through the return of Christ, right through the end-time.

In the authority of the Holy Spirit, the whole church is of one heart and one mind. She is united in faith and common expectation for God’s whole universe. Her unfeigned love and boundless faith long to put everything to the service of God. She wants to summon all the nations of the world to partake in God’s kingdom.
