Christian Quotation of the Day

April 9, 1996

Feast of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Teacher, Martyr, 1945

         The deceit, the lie of the devil consists of this, that he wishes to make man believe that he can live without God's Word. Thus he dangles before man's fantasy a kingdom of faith, of power, and of peace, into which only he can enter who consents to the temptations; and he conceals from men that he, as the devil, is the most unfortunate and unhappy of beings, since he is finally and eternally rejected by God.
         ... Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Temptation
