Whenever the true message of the cross is abolished, the anger of hypocrites and heretics eases and all things seem to be at peace.

All our experience with history should teach us, when we look back, how badly human wisdom is betrayed when it relies on itself

We are saved by faith alone, but the faith that saves is never alone.

Your thoughts of God are too human

‎What you do in your house is worth as much as if you did it up in heaven for our Lord God. We should accustom ourselves to think of our position and work as sacred and well-pleasing to God, not on account of the position and work, but on account of the word and faith from which the obedience and work flow.

Now if I believe in God's Son and remember that He became man, all creatures will appear a hundred times more beautiful to me than before. Then I will properly appreciate the sun, the moon, the stars, trees, apples, as I reflect that he is Lord over all things. ...God writes the Gospel, not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars.

Divinity consists in use and practice, not in speculation.
