Smart Quote of the Week: Dietrich Bonhoeffer

“Being a Christian is less about cautiously avoiding sin than about courageously and actively doing God's will.” —Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Correction: It appears this quote is actually from Eric Metaxas’s book on Bonhoeffer, not from Bonhoeffer himself. Thank to Phil from Brandywine Books for pointing this out to me.
