More From Martin Luther

Christ be with me, christ within me, christ behind me, christ before me, christ beside me, christ to win me, christ to comfort me and restore me, christ beneath me, christ above me, christ in quiet, christ in danger, christ in hearts of all that love me, christ in mouth of friend and stranger.

We fear the past, present and future. we fear the unknown, we fear not having enough, losing what we have, not having what we want. we fear what will become of us and those that we care for. we fear what others think of us and what they don't think of us. we fear, fear, fear and therefore we are controllable through the manipulation of all that we fear. the present war on terror is the war of fear. no fear, no control.

The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists, who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood. the trailblazers in human, academic, scientific and religious freedom have always been nonconformists. in any cause that concerns the progress of mankind, put your faith in the nonconformist!

Find a way to say yes to things. say yes to invitations to a new country, say yes to meet new friends, say yes to learning a new language, picking up a new sport. yes is how you get your first job, and your next job, and your spouse, and even your kids. even if it's a bit edgy, a bit out of your comfort zone, saying yes means that you will do something new, meet someone new, and make a difference in your life. yes lets you stand out in a crowd, be the optimist, to stay positive, be the one everyone comes to. yes is what keeps us all young.

Let me make it quite clear that when christians say the christ-life is in them, they do not mean simply something mental or moral. when they speak of being "in christ" or of christ being "in them", this is not simply a way of saying that they are thinking about christ or copying him. they mean that christ is actually operating through them; that the whole mass of christians are the physical organism through which christ acts--that we are his fingers and muscles, the cells of his body.

Christian virtues unite men. racism separates them.

Sadly enough, there is a kind of an anti-intellectualism among many christians: spirituality is falsely pitted against intellectual comprehension as though they stood in a dichotomy. such anti-intellectualism cuts away at the very heart of the christian message. of course, there is a false intellectualism which does destroy the work of the holy spirit. but it does not arise when men wrestle honestly with honest questions and then see that the bible has the answers. this does not oppose true spirituality.

It will be one of the tragedies of christian history if future historians record that at the height of the twentieth century the church was one of the greatest bulwarks of white supremacy.

A christian in the world is one thing, and the world in a christian is quite another thing. a ship in the water is all right, but when the water gets in the ship, it is quite a different thing.
