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.
Martin LutherEven if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.
Martin LutherIf I did not see that the Lord kept watch over the ship, I should long since have abandoned the helm. But I see Him! - through the storm, strengthening the tackling, handling the yards, spreading the sails - yes more, commanding the very winds! Should I not be a coward if I abandoned my post? Let Him govern, let Him carry us forward, let Him hasten or delay; we will fear nothing!
Martin Luther
