I almost feel like throwing Jimmy into the stove, as the priest in Kulenberg did.

Anyone who is to find Christ must first find the church. How could anyone know where Christ is and what faith is in him unless he knew where his believers are?

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.

Every week I preach justification by faith to my people, because every week they forget it.

Original sin is in us like our beard. We are shaved today and look clean; tomorrow our beard has grown again, nor does it cease growing while we remain on earth. In like manner original sin cannot be extirpated from us; it springs up in us as long as we live.

Take a look at your own heart, and you will soon find out what has stuck to it and where your treasure is. It is easy to determine whether hearing the Word of God, living according to it, and achieving such a life gives you as much enjoyment and calls forth as much diligence from you as does accumulating and saving money and property.

Let him who wants a true church cling to the Word by which everything is upheld.
