Ernst Modersohn (1870–1948) war ein deutscher evangelischer Pfarrer, Reiseevangelist und Verleger, der maßgeblich von Bad Blankenburg aus in der Allianz- und Gemeinschaftsbewegung wirkte. Geprägt von Neupietismus und Heiligungsbewegung, erreichte er mit Predigten und über 260 Schriften ein Millionenpublikum und nahm im Konflikt um die frühe Pfingstbewegung eine vermittelnde Haltung ein. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet er vor allem in Andachten mit schlichten, lebensnahen Auslegungen zu Gebet, Glaubensvertrauen und praktischer Nachfolge.

Quotes by Ernst Modersohn

God knows your yesterday, give him your today — he will care for your tomorrow.
Ernst Modersohn

To believe means: to reckon with God.
Ernst Modersohn

Sharpening the scythe does not delay the mowing. So I have found: praying is no loss of time, but a gain of time, because the work gets done in less time than when one does it in one's own strength.
Ernst Modersohn

Whoever worries thinks they must do everything themselves. But whoever trusts knows that God does everything!
Ernst Modersohn

Universal reconciliation is the sleeping powder of the devil.
Ernst Modersohn

If one reads the Word of God dutifully and mechanically, one won't get much benefit from it. I have only had blessing from Bible reading since I began to read the Bible with the question mark of self-examination. That makes the Word alive and personal, when while reading you ask yourself: Do I have this? Do I know this? Do I do this? Do I want this? When you read God's Word this way, the Lord begins to speak to us through the reading. That is how, without noticing or knowing it, you come into prayer.
Ernst Modersohn
