This quote totally rocks my world...enjoy:
"What was it that took hold of us? It was the spirit of the Sermon on the Mount, the
spirit of Jesus himself. The Sermon on the Mount spelled out for us the consequences
of Jesus’ words: “repent and believe in the gospel.” And what are the consequences?
What is new about them? The Beatitudes became very important for us; they
showed us the character of the citizens of the kingdom. Citizens of the kingdom are
people with unconquerably joyful hearts, happy people. They are charged with the
explosive power of the life that flows from God. That is what they should manifest
to the world. They are to possess the earth; they are called to serve the earth…We felt
in Arnold’s words that Jesus was seeking for our souls, seeking for us to belong to him
completely, for us to love in earnest – and we strove for this with all our might."
Hallelujah!
