Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that the believer would stake his life on it a thousand times.
The God whom we worship is not a weak and incompetent God. He is able to beat back gigantic waves of opposition and to bring low prodigious mountains of evil. The ringing testimony of the Christian faith is that God is able.
No other God have I but thee, born in a manger, died on a tree.
Everything that is done in this world is done by hope.
After the devil himself, there is no worse folk than the pope and his followers.
True faith will no more fail to produce [good works] than the sun can cease to give light.
Prayer is not overcoming God's reluctance. It is laying hold of His willingness.
The veneration of Mary is inscribed in the very depths of the human heart
Whilst a man is persuaded that he has it in his power to contribute anything, be it ever so little, to his salvation, he remains in carnal self-confidence; he is not a self-despairer, and therefore is not duly humbled before God, he believes he may lend a helping hand in his salvation, but on the contrary, whoever is truly convinced that the whole work depends singly on the will of God, such a person renounces his own will and strength; he waits and prays for the operation of God, nor waits and prays in vain
Original sin is in us like our beard. We are shaved today and look clean; tomorrow our beard has grown again, nor does it cease growing while we remain on earth. In like manner original sin cannot be extirpated from us; it springs up in us as long as we live.
Prayer, study, and suffering make a pastor.
If we esteem them too highly, good works can become the greatest idolatry.
It would be a good thing if young people were wise and old people were strong, but God has arranged things better.
Whatever man loves, that is his god. For he carries it in his heart; he goes about with it night and day; he sleeps and wakes with it, be it what it may - wealth or self, pleasure or renown.
Let Christ's righteousness and grace, not yours, be your refuge.
The devil doesn't stay where there is music.
I am bound by the texts of the Bible, my conscience is captive to the Word of God, I neither can nor will recant anything, since it is neither right nor safe to act against my conscience.
Music is a fair and glorious gift of God. I am strongly persuaded that after theology, there is no art which can be placed on the level with music.
Whenever I have prayed earnestly, I have always received more than I asked for. God may delay, but He always comes.
I often laugh at Satan, and there is nothing that makes him so angry as when I attack him to his face, and tell him that through God I am more than a match for him
Whenever the true message of the cross is abolished, the anger of hypocrites and heretics ceases.. and all things are in peace. This is a sure token that the devil is guarding the entry to the house, and that the PURE doctrine of God's Word has been taken away. The Church then, is in the BEST state when Satan assaileth it on every sideboth with subtle sleights, and outright violence. And likewise, it is in the WORST state when it is most at peace!
Faith is the yes of the heart.
Feelings come, and feelings go, and feelings are deceiving. My warrant is the Word of God, naught else is worth believing.
