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 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)
