He did not even wait till morning! Identification with Christ's church is important; without it, one must be treated 'as a heathen and publican.'

• Si no hay un anhelo profundo por una vida que sea agradable a Él, si no hay un
  estimulante deseo de conocerlo a Él y a Su Palabra, ¡la membresía en la iglesia es como
  un joven que se enamora de un apartamento amueblado y se casa con una estufa eléctrica
  , un refrigerador, una aspiradora, un triturador de basura y un trapeador húmedo!
  Eso es todo. Dejemos hoy de jugar a la iglesia y empecemos a
  ¡amar a Cristo y vivir para Él!

• We will never find joy in church membership when we are constantly seeking things our way. But paradoxically, we will find the greatest joy when we choose to be last. That's what Jesus meant when He said the last will be first. True joy means giving up our rights and preferences and serving everyone else.

• En el Freethinkers Hall, que antes del resurgimiento nazi era la sede nacional de la Liga Alemana de Librepensadores, las autoridades eclesiásticas protestantes de Berlín han abierto una oficina para asesorar al público en asuntos eclesiásticos. Su principal objetivo es recuperar a los antiguos fieles y ayudar a los que no han pertenecido a ninguna congregación religiosa a hacerse miembros de la iglesia. La Liga Alemana de Librepensadores, que fue barrida por la revolución nacional, era la mayor de estas organizaciones en Alemania. Contaba con unos 500.000 miembros.
