When you face a decision and have no clarity about your way, then stand still until you have clarity. And if you are pressed, remember: only the devil is in a hurry. Wait until God tells you to go.

Alfred Christlieb

Alfred Christlieb (1866–1934) war ein deutscher evangelischer Pfarrer und Seelsorger, der über mehrere Jahrzehnte im oberbergischen Heidberg wirkte. Er war eine prägende Gestalt des rheinischen Pietismus und stand für eine seelsorgerlich ausgerichtete Schriftauslegung sowie ein intensiv gepflegtes Gebetsleben. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet er vor allem durch praxisnahe Andachten und Betrachtungen, die theologische Inhalte mit der persönlichen Lebenswirklichkeit verbinden.
