― Jason Micheli, Amazing Disgrace: The Seven Last Words on Calvary

“We do not subscribe to the view that Mr. Hitler and his friends, now finally in possession of the power they have so long desired, will implement the proposals circulating in [Nazi newspapers]; they will not suddenly deprive German Jews of their constitutional rights, nor enclose them in ghettos, nor subject them to the jealous and murderous impulses of the mob. They cannot do this because a number of crucial factors hold powers in check…and they clearly do not want to go down that road. When one acts as a European power, the whole atmosphere tends towards ethical reflection upon one’s better self and away from revisiting one’s earlier oppositional posture.”
― Timothy Snyder, On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century

“It is best not just to tell people that others are wrong in their opinions. Let them see and hear Jesus so clearly that it casts doubt on twisted ways of using God’s Word. Let the truth be healing and clarifying”
― Marty Folsom, Karl Barth's Church Dogmatics for Everyone, Volume 1---The Doctrine of the Word of God: A Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners and Pros
