As Christ bore and received us as sinners so we in his fellowship may bear and receive sinners into the fellowship of Christ through the forgiving of sins.

Christianity preaches the infinite worth of that which is seemingly worthless and the infinite worthlessness of that which is seemingly so valued.

Principles are only tools in the hands of God; they will soon be thrown away when they are no longer useful.

If you do a good job for others, you heal yourself at the same time, because a dose of joy is a spiritual cure.

Just as our love for God begins with listening to God's Word, the beginning of love for other Christians is learning to listen to them.

It is only because he became like us that we can become like him.

Christ became our Brother in order to help us. Through him our brother has become Christ for us in the power and authority of the commission Christ has given him. Our brother stands before us the sign of the truth and the grace of God. He has been given to us to help us. He hears the confession of our sins in Christ's stead and he forgives our sins in Christ's name. He keeps the secret of our confession as God keeps it. When I go to my brother to confess, I am going to God.
