He who has learned to look to God in everything he does is at the same time diverted from all vain thoughts.

We must remember that Satan has his miracles, too.

For there is no one so great or mighty that he can avoid the misery that will rise up against him when he resists and strives against God.

We are nowhere forbidden to laugh, or be satisfied with food...or to be delighted with music or to drink wine.

Man's mind is like a store of idolatry and superstition; so much so that if a man believes his own mind it is certain that he will forsake God and forge some idol in his own brain.

Wherever we find the Word of God surely preached and heard, and the sacraments administered according to the institution of Christ, there, it is not to be doubted, is a church of God.

If a preacher is not first preaching to himself, better that he falls on the steps of the pulpit and breaks his neck than preaches that sermon.
