1906-1945 _______________ Have you received Christ as your Lord and Saviour? Find out how to do so on our page: Plan of Salvation _______________
Though we are not all called to the ministry of Pastor, we are all called by God to share our faith (witness) with those who are not Christians. Some Bible verses that you will find helpful for doing this, and that you may want to commit to memory are found on other pages on our web site (see: Memory Verses; 2nd Set: Salvation!, Plan of Salvation, and Statement of Faith). _________________ © 2001 by Barbour Publishing, Inc.

Author: Michael Van Dyke In solitary confinement he found true freedom. ...he had joined the resistance to his country's dictator, Adolf Hitler. Gestapo agents knocked heavily on the outside door. In an upstairs bedroom, a man wiped sweat from his face, and dropped a match into the wastebasket. Only after seeing the contents burn did he calmly give each member of his family a brief hug and leave with the men in the dark coats. It was April 1943 in Nazi Germany. It was the last time Dietrich Bonhoeffer saw his family as a free man. Anchoring his daily life in the simple disciplines of Bible study and prayer... Pastor, professor, one of the twentieth century's most brilliant minds---Dietrich Bonhoeffer was also soon to be a martyr. After struggling with the moral issues involved, he had joined the resistance to his country's dictator, Adolf Hitler. Now he was on his way to solitary confinement. But Dietrich Bonhoeffer was never truly alone in his concrete cell because the Lord was with him. Anchoring his daily life in the simple disciplines of Bible study and prayer, he used his time to ponder and write on deep spiritual issues. ...the Nazis hanged Dietrich Bonhoeffer. In April 1945, just a few weeks before World War II ended in Europe, the Nazis hanged Dietrich Bonhoeffer. He had written of "the cost of discipleship"---and paid that cost with his life. His investment, though, continues to pay dividends today for those who follow his example. ______________________________ |
