People with a religious spirit are more interested in reputation and power than in truth.

Hartwig Henkel

Der 1953 geborene deutsche Prediger und Buchautor Hartwig Henkel wirkte als Freikirchenpastor in Berlin und gründete 1996 das überkonfessionelle Lehr- und Missionswerk „Hand in Hand“. Seine Vorträge und Schriften betonen persönliche Heiligung, Gottesfurcht und entschiedene Jüngerschaft, wurden jedoch aus konservativ-evangelikalen Kreisen wegen früherer Einflüsse der Wort-des-Glaubens-Bewegung und Lehren zur geistlichen Kriegsführung kritisiert. Für Bibelleser bieten seine Auslegungen Impulse für eine verbindliche Lebensführung im Spannungsfeld charismatischer Frömmigkeit und Schrifttreue.

Humility does not mean thinking less of yourself than of other people, nor does it mean having a low opinion of your own gifts. It means freedom from thinking about yourself one way or the other at all.
William Temple

To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was yourself.
