As Bender explains, “The Anabaptists retained the original vision of Luther and Zwingli, enlarged it, gave it body and form, and set out to achieve it in actual experience. They proceeded to organize a church composed solely of earnest Christians, and actually found the people for it. They did not believe in any case that the size of the response should determine whether or not the truth of God should be applied, and they refused to compromise. They preferred to make a radical break with 1,500 years of history and culture if necessary rather than to break with the New Testament.”

Our church just listened to this message tonight for our Sunday evening service. I was deeply challenged, and feel a renewed passion to give everything I have and am to truly be Christ's disciple in every area of my life.
I thought the actual book was better. Maybe it's just because I read that first, but the book deeply impacted me at a time when I was beginning to seriously reconsider where I stood as Christian.
