Nicky Gumbel Quote

Let your dreams be bigger than your fears, your actions louder than your words, and your faith stronger than your feelings.

From Matthew 19:24-26:  “‘Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.’  When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astounded and said, ‘Then who can be saved?’  But Jesus looked at them and said, ‘For mortals it is impossible, but for God all things are possible.'”

Nicky Gumbel (born 1955) is an English-born Anglican pastor and Christian author.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer Quote

It is very easy to overestimate the importance of our own achievements in comparison with what we owe others.

From 1 Peter 5:5-6:  “And all of you must clothe yourselves with humility in your dealings with one another, for ‘God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.’  Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you in due time.”

German-born Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945) was a Lutheran pastor, theologian, and anti-Nazi dissident.  Many of his writings express the role of Christianity in mankind’s daily lives.  He paid the ultimate price for his activism against the Nazi regime during World War II.
