Show Me Where A Man Spends His

Christians Are Rare People On Earth.

The World Says Of Marriage: A Short Joy And A Long Displeasure. But He Who Understands It Finds In It Delight, Love, And Joy Without Ceasing.

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.

Faith Ever Says, "if Thou Wilt," Not "if Thou Canst.

The Fatuous Idea That A Person Can Be Holy By Himself Denies God The Pleasure Of Saving Sinners. God Must Therefore First Take The Sledge-hammer Of The Law In His Fists And Smash The Beast Of Self-righteousness And Its Brood Of Self-confidence, Self Wisdom, And Self-help. When The Conscience Has Been Thoroughly Frightened By The Law It Welcomes The Gospel Of Grace With Its Message Of A Savior Who Came-not To Break The Bruised Reed Nor To Quench The Smoking Flax-but To Preach Glad Tidings To The Poor, To Heal The Broken-hearted, And To Grant Forgiveness Of Sins To All The Captives.
