Quote of the Week On the Struggle of Faith

“When all is said and done, the life of faith is nothing if not an
unending struggle of the spirit with every available weapon against the
flesh.”

—
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
(The Cost of Discipleship)

What do you know about Dietrich?

He was pastor in Nazi Germany. He was one of the few who resisted and spoke out against the atrocities happening to the Jews. He even secretly colluded with opponents of Hitler. This led to his imprisonment and eventual execution by hanging. While Hitler at times claimed to be doing God’s work, it was clear to the faithful that he was a monster.

Dietrich is a hero of the Christian faith. But whether you have faith or not, he is still a hero.
