“Lord Jesus, You are my righteousness, I am your sin. You took on you what was mine; yet set on me what was yours. You became what you were not, that I might become what I was not.”

I’ll trust in God’s unchanging Word, till soul and body sever. For though all things pass away, His Word shall stand forever.

He who loves not women, wine, and song Remains a fool his whole life long.

The Law is for the proud and the Gospel for the brokenhearted.

Pray, and let God worry.

If you see yourself as a “little sinner” you will inevitably see Jesus as a “little savior”.

I admit that I deserve death and hell, what of it? For I know One who suffered and made satisfaction on my behalf. His name is Jesus Christ, Son of God, and where He is there I shall be also!

All of a Christian’s life is one of repentance.

Prayer is not overcoming God’s reluctance. It is laying hold of His willingness.

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.

A happy fart never comes from a miserable ass.

The less I pray, the harder it gets; the more I pray, the better it goes.

He [Christ] died for me. He made His righteousness mine and made my sin His own; and if He made my sin His own, then I do not have it, and I am free.

The whole being of any Christian is faith and love. Faith brings the person to God, love brings the person to people.

For after chastisement from God, and recognizing him, our way to repay him is to exalt him and confess his wonders before every nation under heaven.

God does not suffer presumption in anyone but himself.

Well, the good Lord and good luck must have been with me because I did exactly what I said I was going to do.

No one should ever say that it was my ignorance if I did or showed forth anything however small according to God’s good pleasure; but let this be your conclusion and let it so be thought, that – as is the perfect truth – it was the gift of God.

The gods, my dear simple fellow, are a mere expression coined by vulgar superstition. We frown upon such coinage here.

In God, there is no sorrow or suffering or affliction. If you want to be free of all affliction and suffering, hold fast to God, and turn wholly to Him, and to no one else. Indeed, all your suffering comes from this: that you do not turn toward God and no one else.
