Of Whom Shall I Be Afraid? One With God Is A Majority.

Good Works Are The Seals And Proofs Of Faith; For Even As A Letter Must Have A Seal To Strengthen The Same, Even So Faith Must Have Good Works.

But If You Want To Be Saved-and Remember That There's Another Life After This One-you Must Accept Correction.

On Coming To The House, They (the Magi), Saw The Child With His Mother Mary, And They Bowed Down And Worshiped Him. (matthew 2:11) [this] Adoration, Too, Was Not The Same As The Worship Of God. In My Opinion They Did Not Yet Recognize Him As God, But They Acted In Keeping With The Custom Mentioned In Scripture, According To Which Kings And Important People Were Worshiped; This Did Not Mean More Than Falling Down Before Them At Their Feet And Honoring Them.

All Of A Christian's Life Is One Of Repentance.

Nothing Is More Beautiful In The Eyes Of God Than A Soul That Loves To Hear His Word.

Thus My Learning Is Not My Own; It Belongs To The Unlearned And Is The Debt I Owe Themmy Wisdom Belongs To The Foolish, My Power To The Oppressed. Thus My Wealth Belongs To The Poor, My Righteousness To The Sinners.

Women Should Remain At Home, Sit Still, And Bear Children.

You May As Well Quit Reading And Hearing The Word Of God, And Give It To The Devil, If You Do Not Desire To Live According To It.

There Is No Justification Without Sanctification, No Forgiveness Without Renewal Of Life, No Real Faith From Which The Fruits Of New Obedience Do Not Grow.

If We Wish To Wash Our Hands Of The Jews Blasphemy And Not Share In Their Guilt, We Have To Part Company With Them. They Must Be Driven From Our Country.

Teaching Is Of More Importance Than Urging.

If I Could Today Become King Or Emperor, I Would Not Give Up My Office As Preacher.

Every Doer Of The Law And Every Moral Worker Is Accursed, For He Walketh In The Presumption Of His Own Righteousness.

I Would Advise No One To Send His Child Where The Holy Scriptures Are Not Supreme. Every Institution That Does Not Unceasingly Pursue The Study Of God's Word Becomes Corrupt. Because Of This We Can See What Kind Of People They Become In The Universities And What They Are Like Now.

Grace Remits Sin, And Peace Quiets The Conscience. Sin And Conscience Torment Us, But Christ Has Overcome These Fiends Now And Forever.

I Pray That God Would Open The Mouth In Me And The Heart In You And That He Would Be The Teacher In The Midst Of Us Who May In Us Speak And Hear.

Those Who Lapse From The Gospel To The Law Are No Better Off Than Those Who Lapse From Grace To Idolatry.

The Highest And Most Precious Treasure We Receive Of God Is, That We Can Speak, Hear, See, Etc.; But How Few Acknowledge These As God's Special Gifts, Much Less Give God Thanks For Them.

Your Work Is A Very Sacred Matter. God Delights In It, And Through It, He Wants To Best His Blessings On You. This Praise Of Work Should Be Inscribed On All Tools, On The Forehead And The Faces That Sweat From Toiling.

[it Is] Essentially Wholesome And Necessary, For A Christian To Know, Whether Or Not The Will Does Any Thing In Those Things Which Pertain Unto Salvation. Nay, Let Me Tell You, This Is The Very Hinge Upon Which Our Discussion Turns. It Is The Very Heart Of The Subject

I Was Born To Fight Devils And Factions. It Is My Business To Remove Obstacles, To Cut Down Thorns, To Fill Up Quagmires And To Open And Make Straight Paths. If I Must Have Some Failing Let Me Rather Speak The Truth With Too Great Sincerity Than Once To Act The Hypocrite And Conceal The Truth.

Before Every Great Opportunity God Gave Me A Great Trial.

Great Opportunity

The Mystery Of The Humanity Of Christ, That He Sunk Himself Into Our Flesh, Is Beyond All Human Understanding.
