The church that preaches the gospel in all of its fullness, except as it applies to the great social ills of the day, is failing to preach the gospel.

But know that to serve God is nothing else than to serve your neighbor and do good to him in love, be it a child, wife, servant, enemy, friend....If you do not find yourself among the needy and the poor, where the Gospel shows us Christ, then you may know that your faith is not right, and that you have not yet tasted of Christ's benevolence and work for you.

The defects of a preacher are soon spied.

All the cunning of the devil is exercised in trying to tear us away from the word.

If you want to interpret well and confidently, set Christ before you, for He is the man to whom it all applies, every bit of it.

I maintain that some Jew wrote it who probably heard about Christian people but never encountered any.

Men have broad and large chests, and small narrow hips, and more understanding than women, who have but small and narrow breasts, and broad hips, to the end they should remain at home, sit still, keep house, and bear and bring up children.
