No power other than the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ brings kingly freedom. For only He who is mightier than all other spirits is able to bring the authority and lordship of the Father of Jesus Christ to victory over the enslaving powers of death.

- Eberhard Arnold, September 1934 God’s RevolutionWe live in poverty and without personal possessions; we do this for love of Christ and for the sake of those who are poorer than we, the very poorest.…Yet this love for the poor cannot be the final thing. It must be surpassed by love to God. Christ says, “You will not always have me with you.” (Matt. 26:11) On the other hand, we must not let our love for God cause us to neglect love to the poor. Out of love to God we should love our neighbor. If you see your brother or sister in need and say, “God will help you,” and give nothing, where is your love to God? (James 2:15–16)
