An angel is a spiritual creature created by God without a body, for the service of Christendom and of the church.

If I had power over the Jews, as our princes and cities have, I would deal severely with their lying mouth

The kingdom of God does not consist in talk, but in power, that is, in works and practice. God loves the 'doers of the word' in faith and love, and not the 'mere hearers,' who, like parrots, have learned to utter certain expressions with readiness.

The Gospel is nothing less than laughter and joy.

The inner man cannot be forced to do out of his own free will, what he should do, except the grace of God change the heart and make it willing.

If anyone could have gained heaven as a monk, then I would indeed have been among them.

Let all the 'free-will' in the world do all it can with all its strength; it will never give rise to a single instance of ability to avoid being hardened if God does not give the Spirit, or of meriting mercy if it is left to its own strength.
