Reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed. Faith must trample underfoot all reason, sense, and understanding, and whatever it sees must be put out of sight and ... know nothing but the word of God.

A good servant is a real godsend, but truly this is a rare bird in the land.

To be convinced in our hearts that we have forgiveness of sins and peace with God by grace alone is the hardest thing.

Stubbornness should have been my middle name.

Now just behold these miserable, blind, and senseless people.

Be a sinner and sin strongly, but more strongly have faith and rejoice in Christ.

Faith cannot be inherited or gained by being baptized into a Church. Faith is a matter between the individual and God.
