Snakes and monkeys are subjected to the demon more than other animals. Satan lives in them and possesses them. He uses them to deceive men and to injure them.

Our works do not generate righteousness, rather our righteousness in Christ generates works.

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.

Truly, if faith is there, the believer cannot hold back... he breaks out into good works.

Christianity can be summed up in the two terms faith and love...receiving from above [faith] and giving out below [love].

When God creates faith in a man, that is as great a work as if He created heaven and earth all over again.

I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I can do no other, so help me God. Amen.
