I Have So Much To Do Today,

Can He Who Understands Not God's Word, Understand God's Works?

Let All The 'free-will' In The World Do All It Can With All Its Strength; It Will Never Give Rise To A Single Instance Of Ability To Avoid Being Hardened If God Does Not Give The Spirit, Or Of Meriting Mercy If It Is Left To Its Own Strength.

Father And Mother Are Apostles, Bishops And Priests To Their Children, For It Is They Who Make Them Acquainted With The Gospel.

Christ Ought To Be Preached With This Goal In Mind--that We Might Be Moved To Faith In Him So That He Is Not Just A Distant Historical Figure But Actually Christ For You And Me.

For That Purpose Christ Instituted Holy Baptism, Thereby To Clothe You With His Righteousness. It Is Tantamount To His Saying, My Righteousness Shall Be Your Righteousness; My Innocence, Your Innocence. Your Sins Indeed Are Great, But By Baptism I Bestow On You My Righteousness; I Strip Death From You And Clothe You With My Life.
