Is it not a thing most abominable, that God who feeds so many mouths, should be held in such low esteem by me, that I will not trust him to feed me? Yea, that a guilder, thirty-eight cents, should be valued more highly than God, who pours out his treasures everywhere in rich profusion. For the world is full of God and his works. He is everywhere present with his gifts, and yet we will not trust in him, nor accept his visitation.

To have peace and love in marriage is a gift which is next to the knowledge of the Gospel.

A Christian is a perfectly free lord of all, subject to none. A Christian is a perfectly dutiful servant of all, subject of all, subject to all.

For God does not want to save us by our own but by an extraneous righteousness, one that does not originate in ourselves but comes to us from beyond ourselves, which does not arise on earth but comes from heaven.

Against the flying ball no valor avails.

God doesn't slack his promises because of our sins or hasten them because of our righteousness. He pays no attention to either.

We need not invite the Devil to our table; he is too ready to come without being asked. The air all about us is filled with demons.
