For Christians above all men are forbidden to correct the stumblings of sinners by force...it is necessary to make a man better not by force but by persuasion. We neither have authority granted us by law to restrain sinners, nor, if it were, should we know how to use it, since God gives the crown to those who are kept from evil, not by force, but by choice.

Sin makes man a coward; but a life in the Truth of Christ makes Him bold.

Labor: a powerful medicine.

You [Jews] did slay Christ, you did lift violent hands against the Master, you did spill his precious blood. This is why you have no chance for atonement, excuse, or defense.

Every family should have a room where Christ is welcome in the person of the hungry and thirsty stranger.

If you would rise, shun luxury, for luxury lowers and degrades.

God measures out affliction to our need.
