"Both of these impulses (formalism & legalism) made it possible for Hitler to come to power. The formalists in Germany may have seen things that bothered them, but saw no need to sacrifice their safety to stand up to them. Legalists responded by having pharisaical attitudes toward other nations and races that approved of Hitler's policies."

"God wants to see human beings, not ghosts who shun the world. In the whole of world history there is always only one really significant hour -- the present... if you want to find eternity, you must serve the times..." "I fear that Christians who venture to stand on earth on only one leg will stand in heaven on only one leg too..."
