Prayer is climbing up into the heart of God.

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.

A safe stronghold our God is still. A trusty shield and weapon.

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.

Christ took our sins and the sins of the whole world as well as the Father's wrath on his shoulders, and he has drowned them both in himself so that we are thereby reconciled to God and become completely righteous.

Music must be supported by the king and the princes, for the maintenance of the arts is their duty no less than the maintenance of the laws.

Take this to heart and doubt not that you are the one who killed Christ. Your sins certainly did, and when you see the nails driven through his hands, be sure that you are pondering, and when the thorns pierce his brow, know that they are your evil thoughts.
