It was with good reason that God commanded through Moses that the vineyard and harvest were not to be gleaned to the last grape or grain; but something to be left for the poor. For covetousness is never to be satisfied; the more it has, the more it wants. Such insatiable ones injure themselves, and transform God's blessings into evil.
Martin LutherI have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess.
Martin LutherWhoever sees Christ as a mirror of the Father's heart, actually walks through the world with new eyes.
Martin LutherWe need to pledge ourselves anew to the cause of Christ. We must capture the spirit of the early church. Wherever the early Christians went, they made a triumphant witness for Christ. Whether on the village streets or in the city jails, they daringly proclaimed the good news of the gospel.
